I have been working the past 8 days on new small paintings and creating two more areas in my shop for Paintings Under $200 and Paintings Under $500  There are actually larger pieces in the under $500 store, so you might want to take a look!

RAIN

"He went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when evening was come, he was there alone." Matt 14:23 This was the verse from Streams in the Desert this morning and with the reading adjoining it, I knew I would be sharing it with you. 

Last night we had 5.25 inches of rain and glory to God, cooler temps are two days away!!! Good bye to 100 plus days!!!  I can honestly say we felt alone in the 'desert' we have lived in since June... only 1 inch of measurable rain in June... and nothing else until this last bout yesterday. 

Have you ever felt so alone while upset, worried or just feeling overwhelmed? I think we all have.  Do you think that might have led Jesus to the Mountain to be alone? Alone with God.  We often forget that we are NEVER alone. It seems like our days are full of people demanding things, or working churning around us. Sometimes I feel like I cannot breath there is so much happening. When others are in your life through work, family or even marriage... they draw energy away from you and me, and our strength is sapped by the pull of others and their immediate needs.   Do you think that is what happened to Jesus?  He 'got away' to be with God, his Father who could restore him and comfort him in his human condition? In this human form he suffered from the same 'seasons' we encounter in our earthly journey. Too much ... too much social media, too much food... too much hatred... too much pressure to be something we are not... too much of everything from our own needs to the needs of others. 

If you can get to a quiet place, I sincerely believe you will find the grace and strength of our Father in heaven. He fights for each of us, but we need to be still and let Him have it all. We cannot get in His way.  We need to simplify our lives and our homes. 

Our God will bring the rain as we need it at the time He knows it will serve us best.  He brings the sun and all the seasons... in His time and His way.  We need to learn to focus on the simple things and stop getting pulled into the chaos around us.
