"I have had a relationship with God my whole life. In 2000 my faith had a deepening experience. This coincided with getting back into pottery. Working with clay became devotional, time with God. The Bible became more alive during this time. I was encouraged by Sam Cooper, the pastor of Meadowvale Christian Reformed Church to share what I had been learning on a Sunday morning and since that door was opened, the invitations haven't stopped. I am one "sent out" from a church that has a rich heritage of sending people out. I am honoured to be called out with my wheel and clay"

"I was completely swept away by Cynthia's presentation. In fact all the burdens of the day were lifted off and have not returned! The Lord is truly alive in her." "When the dry pieces were going into the bowl I surrendered by bitterness and anger over my son's untimely death. What a relief it is to not carry the anger anymore. I am free." "The children came back to the classroom with a reverential awe that I have not seen before. They are never quiet, but there was such stillness because of watching the clay and hearing the words." "Cynthia's hands became God's hands. I know I am held and shaped by Him. I know the Lord knows me personally and completely. I feel so deeply loved and cared for by God. I am His pot and His hands are on my life. I do not need to be afraid." "An amazing visual presentation of such deep spiritual truths. Wonderful analogies of Jesus as the Potter and us as the clay. I was built up, encouraged and refired to live for Jesus and see Him in all the circumstances of my life, molding me, trimming off all the useless parts of my life and using the dry, brittle parts to bring life and praise to the Lord." "It is very obvious that Cynthia is a yielded soft, lump of clay. You can't help but marvel at God's hand on her." "Cynthia is God’s potter: softened by Him, shaped by Him, centred by Him, trimmed by Him, glazed by Him--made extravagantly beautiful and eminently useful by Him." |
