In January 2010, it was as if God had gotten a cup full of writing
potion and poured it into my life. Another example that comes to mind
is how he formed Adam by breathing life into his nostrils. Genesis 2:7
Maybe this is why He gave me the poem
Breathed this gift into
Me....for My Father Above.
I have been praying that God would allow me to work for Him instead of
man and let me tell you, He is an awesome manager!
The doors began to close on my
almost 20 year career in the consumer goods industry as a Key Account
Manager. It was an "unofficial restructure" and I was targeted. I fought
and fought God at the beginning because in all honesty I did not want to
let go of what I was comfortable knowing which was sales and the salary
that came along with it.
After becoming physically
exhausted and mentally drained, I finally decided to lay it at God's feet.
I let Him do the rest. I knew at the
end, God had something so much bigger in store for me and why would I
fight the opportunity to work full time for God...am I crazy? He will and
has provided all of our family needs and slowly taking away any
unnecessary wants in my life. My husband, Mark, has been such a big
supporter because through God's peace given to him ~ He believes in me.
God also opened up a new career for me in the non-profit industry and I am
so excited to become a part of the St. Jude family. I
feel so alive and so excited to see where my new journey with God is going
to lead. And I must say, I have only the biggest dreams in store because I
know "nothing is impossible for Him"
God gave me the idea to start
writing poetry for people's special occasions and let Him do the rest. As
with any project I start, I like a name for it so I can identify it more
personally so I gladly accepted God's idea and prayed about His name for
the business.
One Sunday morning He gave me the
name Potter's Hand Poetry as I pondered why? He gently spoke
and said,"I am the potter, you are the clay and I am forming you into what I
want you to become" and every poem is written by Him ~ I am just the vessel
to do so. Perfect!
I hope you can enjoy some quotes
from people who have received a poem for their special occasion or just
because someone wanted them to know how much they are loved. It is serving
its purpose in that "if someone can be touched or inspired by the poem and
mostly, if someone can know Jesus as their Personal Savior then it served
its purpose and then some" I have some other ministries that I am pursuing
as well to include a book I am writing on my Mom's life as she was born
and raised in Guatemala, Central America and came to America in a very
abusive relationship and today at almost 70 years of age she travels to
Guatemala two times a year to do mission work at a mission God gave her to
start in a literal dream over 20 years ago. In addition, I am beginning
M.O.M. Ministry, Inc. (Mothers of Miscarriage) to assist women who
have suffered miscarriage. I suffered three consecutive miscarriages and I
want to help other women cope. And, Yes, I now have a new poetry book as
well!
Potters Hand Poetry by
Mary D. Wasson
About the book: In
Jeremiah 29:11 God says, "For I know the plans I have for you-plans
to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a
future." Inspired through her quiet times alone with God as well as
life's everyday trials and triumphs, Author Mary D. Wasson has
penned a collection of poetry that will humble you, move you,
encourage you, and remind you that in all things and at all times,
your heavenly Father (the Potter) is molding you (the clay) into His
masterpiece.
About the Author: Reared by a single, Christian, Guatemalan
mother, author Mary D. Wasson's childhood was characterized by a
strong Christian influence. In her teens, her mother married a man
whom Mary considers her real father. Following her college
graduation and an almost twenty-year career, God breathed into
Mary's life the gift of writing. In addition to the poetic
expressions of love for her heavenly Father found here in The
Potter's Hand Poetry, Mary is also writing a book about her mother's
life-particularly, her founding of a mission in Guatemala with which
Mary and her family are actively involved. Mary D. Wasson lives in
Hernando, Mississippi, with her husband, Mark, and their children,
Ethan and Mia Faith.
To date, I have written over 150 poems since January so I have many
favorite ones to share. Also with the new book above I hope you will
enjoy the writing's the Lord given me to share with you.
Thank you for visiting the website and I hope I have a part in touching
someone special to you through this gift of writing poetry.
Allow the Potter's Hand to give you your own special poem.......
The clay He is forming,
Love, Mary
P.S. Hope you enjoy some photos of my family and myself.
