Potter's Clay Devotional - Testimony
I knew the course I wanted to do and diligently set about gathering the requirements and applying to many schools and scholarship bodies. I did that with great vigor for about 2 to 3 years. Yep, you guessed it, but with no success. Then one day, I finally stopped. Just stopped! For the first time I said ‘God I am going to stop this. You know what I want to do but I cannot do it in my own strength, so I am going to stop and turn this over to you. Whatever you want Lord.’ Actually that felt like a great load rolled off. I did stop and life went on, quite peacefully. About a year after, I was reading the newspaper and my eyes crossed an advertisement for a course offered by a local university. The instant my eyes fell across that advert I heard God say “Apply for it”. In the same instant I knew that I had been accepted. Took a few seconds to sink in, then the shock when I realized that is was a course I had vowed verbally to friends and family I would never do! Talk about trusting God! Well I did apply and quite promptly. It was a struggle to let go but God honoured my decision to be willing to let Him shape my life. I have known tremendous blessing from that career choice. Oh yes, did I mention that as an added blessing God did give that scholarship as well, but that is another story.
A testimony is simply our personal story of God’s goodness in our life; an eye witness report of God's interaction with man. Simple as it is testimonies change hearts, lives and nations. As we declare what God has done for us others find the faith to believe, to be encouraged, and to stand strong. So please, take every opportunity to Share It! Would you like to share your testimony?

One such case was in my career choice.
