This Blog took a turn to share what I prayed for today, for my adult children and all the grandchildren. A group of art friends has been discussing the lack of the presence of faith in the lives of many Americans. It is important to live our faith every day so it becomes a part of our working mind and our lives. I posted this on Facebook This morning to close friends which included my family.
"I am praying for all three of my children, and my Mama too. Praying for all my grandchildren as well... May the power of the Lord... through Jesus Christ fill each of you with His light to follow, His grace to give, His forgiveness as needed, and his eternal unfailing LOVE. Believe this day His power is filling you to walk through this day and the night ahead. He walks through the sun and the rain with you, he walks through the droughts and the floods with you. Right below this as I am typing is my Daughter's shared verse today.."Rejoice always, pray without Ceasing, give thanks in everything; for this is God's will for you through Christ Jesus."" 1 Thessalonians 5:26-18.
Yesterday I was reading Streams in the Desert and it was based on a verse where Elijah is by a stream that is bountiful and beautiful... he wakes to it being dried up and 'gone'. We face these times in our lives where we hit the desert and we are easily lost. No water, no food, and we are alone.
Equally in life we encounter times of plenty and find good times with family and friends and new adventures.
I have spent a year in the desert, unsure of what is ahead with painting, writing, and even being on the internet any longer. Sometimes life and people and living is more important. Letting go of the way I have made my living for 25 years is a new thought for me.
The verse about Elijah hit on the anniversary of the FB breech from inside FB to my business and my life. It happened to quite a few faith based artists across the United States. Odd, but everything happens as it does. I have learned this year abiding close to Jesus, just wait, don't worry about anything, as God has it. Over and over again I have put down the worry and tried to take the day as it comes. That means breaking my schedule I have had for 25 years. My days are more open and I am less stressed. That is my wish for you...
I want you to think about your own life right now. Be gentle with yourself and quit pushing yourself. This is not a dress rehearsal, this is your life right now. Try to keep peace in your mind and your actions and speech with others. If you haven't spoken to God in awhile... I highly recommend you might begin a conversation with Him. He has been waiting for you.
