Faithful
Sophie - June 30, 2010
This past weekend at Living Proof Live in St. Louis, Beth shared a message about the image of God: Imago Dei. It was complex and layered and deep, and Saturday's sessions especially stomped all over my toes in the best possible ways.
After the Saturday morning break, Beth shared a story about a woman named Teri (apologies to Teri if I'm misspelling her name) who was supposed to be at LPL in Springfield, Illinois last November. Since Teri was at the St. Louis event, Beth called her to the platform - and you can see the rest right here.
(Please excuse the video quality.)
(I was taping from one of the screens so that you could see the ladies clearly.)
(But apparently I'd had a little too much caffeine.)

And do you know what Teri said in Beth's ear at the end?
"He's the Potter. I'm just the clay."
Isn't that incredible? And so encouraging?

“Sweet” moment? Seriously?!… I was expecting a cute little story about a dog or hair or self-tanner or something…
Powerful. Very.

Thank you so much for sharing that. I reminds me that I have very little excuse to fall behind in my bible study. Mercy, why do I let little things keep me from my study? Terri is an amazing example of what perserverance looks like.

AMAZING. Sitting here in my in-laws’ den on the morning of the 4th of July, writing down The Pioneer Woman’s blackberry cobbler recipe, getting ready to slather the kids in sunscreen and put on bathing suits, drinking coffee, and thinking about all I need to do for the day, and everything EVERYTHING was just put into perspective. Thank you so much for sharing!
