Trusting in the Father through ALL times is a challenge and if you can do it, it is the pureness of grace, because He is with you at all times.  Don'

Benjamin Franklin  In Ephesians 2:8 it says "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."     Right now unfortunately, our nation is split over politics, religion, sexual identity, ... you name it, we are split.  The other split is the half of the nation that has walked away from God.  That is for me the toughest part. Reading the Bible in entirely last year, left me with a broad pict

You cannot be learning or creating unless you are willing to be outside your comfort zone. If you stay only inside your rules and safe places, you cannot grow.  You can quote me on that one! So in this new year, I am out to discover my voice in the studio again. I am also committed to not just painting more, but playing my piano, guitar and singing more.  I am pushing all boundaries open wide and committing to living li

If you don't have questions, you'll never find answers."  Colleen Hoover, Slammed.  When you are thinking about things, often it is good to question things. It seems to be the only way to learn something new or make sense of something you may not fully comprehend. You may not always find your answer or solution, but it asking questions and researching will help you find a peace within yourself.  Be open to all new information.  Be interested in the new, the old and t

What does this mean?  Keeping an open mind is one of the hardest things to do. We always seen to have an opinion on something and we want to be heard. If you are as strong willed as I am, often I do not hear what the other person is saying because I am preplanning how I am going to phrase what I want to say to them, making it impossible for me to hear anything from anyone else.   Keeping an open mind involves allowing yourself to embrace new and different things.

Helloooo 2018.   What are things that have never been for you?  I am sitting here thinking this one over.   1.   ........... Humm, I am not coming up with much.  I have found in my life, all my experiences are unique and all of them required my growth or stretching to complete them.  I guess I have trusted in the Lord so much, I feel he has brought into my life so many AMAZING things.  Each of them timed in his way, an

I secretly LOVE getting up to them outside the glass front door.  The beauty of the colors again the night shining so pretty make my day as I realize the beauty lies ahead in this day as well.  It does not have to be new years to feel like you get to begin again... it is simply this moment.  Knowing God's unfailing love sustains me, I stand with my heart and arms open for this day and the year ahead.   Isaiah 54:1
