Elements is a collection of personal memoirs, poems, short stories, journal prompts, photographs, and artwork, not-so-haphazardly thrown together in a beautiful back and forth curated conversation between created and Creator. Elements is designed to inspire the reader to invite themselves into a deep awe of the beauty all around them and to allow it to move them towards wonder, discovering the always-nearness of the presence of the God of the heavens. This volume, Earth , takes us back to the beginning, to the elements of earth, where Potter designs the clay. There is resistance and there is surrender, there is the fall, and there is redemption. Within these pages you will find writings and prompts on topics such as stillness, breath, listening, joy, worship and childlike wonder. My hope is that, inside these pages, you will be inspired to know God through His creation and through your five sense. I encourage you to ask Him questions, and to record His responses over your life. Would that you not only hear but experience the Word of God as He responds to you. Together may we bow low, take off our shoes, and encounter Him.
