In the begining… GOD!
In the beginning…. GOD!
As a mom of three, life seemed to have become a hectic mess. Between sports, schools, events, sicknesses and everything else life can throw at you, I found myself wondering about my purpose in this life. Struggling to justify working for childcare costs, I decided to be a stay-at-home mom to help create a balance in work and home life for my husband and I. I’m not the type of person who can sit still very long, so I immediately start looking for ways my daughter and I could get involved in the community. I checked out a few local organizations and created a Bible study group to start up at the first of the year (2026). I’ll never forget my drive into work that morning heading North on Kirby into Memphis TN, and my wondering mind doing its usual thing. Running through my long “to-do” list and still thinking of ways to get involved. I wanted to find something I could make to give back to the mission of God. Baking? No, I tried that once. Painting? No, my heart wasn’t in it. Immediately following the “no’s”, the thought of making earring came to mind. I love earring of all sorts, and I am known for always wearing a festive pair during the holidays. But what would I call my company? Clayossians. “Clayossians? Lord what does that mean?” It didn’t take me long to figure out, Clayossians sounds a lot like Colossians. As soon as I got to work, I pulled out my Bible and read the entire book of Colossians, knowing God was about to speak to me through His Word.
“Faith comes through hearing and hearing through the Word of God” Romans 10:17.
Colossians 3:17 stood out, stating “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
With this one verse I am able to answer these questions about Clayossians:
What Do you Do? -I craft designs and jewelry that are inspired by the word of God.
What do you say? - I say a prayer over every crafted piece that is made.
What do you represent? - I represent the Lord, for, as Christians, we are the image bearers of Christ
How do you give thanks? I give thanks by giving 10% of all profits back for the mission of God for the glory of God.
I felt like God spoke so clearly to me. Things started coming together perfectly and quickly. The more I strived to do things my own way, I notice it never worked out. I would take a step back, pray for God to lead me where to follow. I even tried to play around with different names, but something about every other name never sat right. Once I fully surrendered and listened to God on the name, everything felt right again. God created and fully inspired Clayossians. My only purpose is the be like John the Baptist. “I am the voice of one calling out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord”. I am just a vessel God chose to use to help lead others to him. Every piece of Jewelry is scripture inspired. Made to be gracefully adorned by believers, as we are the image bearers of Christ. More than Jewelry, the mission of God is for everyone and the kingdom of God awaits for those who believe and put their faith in his son, Jesus Christ. I would love to talk to anyone who has questions about what being a follower of Christ looks like or help other followers grow in their walk with God. My email is clayossians@gmail.com. I look forward to doing this journey alongside of you! Thank you for supporting Clayossians, a God inspired Company with you in mind.
