My squad moved camp sites. My hamock is now set up on a slight slope and rain was in the forecast for the week. So I set my tarp up and decided to dig a drain for the water to collect so that way my area stays nice and dry as I was digging I found something that I wasn't exactly looking for.

this is georgia red clay

I found clay! So what do you do with clay in the ground you ask ? Well I'll tell you! You harvest it and start molding it. So that's exactly what I did; I took it from the earth, crushed it into small pebbles, (because it was very hard almost like rock) added water and started to work it until this came to be .

I made a clay bowl! From the earth to my dinner table. I had so much fun doing this with the Lord it was just me and him doing some ceramics. It dawned on me just how much focus I put into this and how much fun i had doing it. It immediately made me think about when I gave up the knife and how giving it up led me to activities I normally wouldn't do. I figured I'd see the Lord provide me with an activity of this caliber over seas about 2 and a half months from now not a week later. I'm already seeing the fruit of my surrender! ( This took place from the 14th to the 20th because making the clay , then shaping the bowl, and letting it dry took time ) p.s. I had never done anything like this this was my first time taking clay from the earth and also my first time fireing a clay bowl as well
