My Art Therapy

This was a blast! The class was packed. We were each given a palette of paint, three brushes and a blank canvas. The instructor was somewhat witty as he gave instructions, But we were funnier as we made our own comments. The music added to the fun as we all sang the lyrics very loudly while painting. Most were drinking wine, we drank our Jamba Juice smoothy.I had the best time. Very relaxing and therapeutic.

Waiting

Nobody likes to wait. In a world where everything is convenient, instant and express, waiting is unacceptable. But sometimes taking things slow is a good thing. I think God can bring you to a point of waiting to refocus you, to speak to your heart. Though I feel I am in this line of waiting, and its uncomfortable, I know it is for my good. God has a plan for my life and he knows my heart and soul have to be strong and healthy. He is restoring me. I trust him. So I will plant my feet down firmly and wait....

Sunday morning breakfast

Part of new life changes is making healthier choices. I am trying to put good into my body as I put good into my soul. Trying to stay away from the processed food. (though chips are still a weakness)I am enjoying more veggies and fruits and finding healthy recipes on Pinterest. Just had to share my ..sunday morning breakfast...Yogurt, granola and fresh strawberries. Yum :)

Spinning

Goodness Gracious, I feel as though my world has been spinning the last couple of weeks. Busy, emotional, draining, exhausting. I do feel as though it is leading somewhere and all this hoop-la will calm down. Peace will settle and new life will lead to happiness. Just gotta get through it.

Peacefully Forward

This was an exhausting painful week. I can't believe I made it through. Though I know I made the right decision, it just feels bad to hurt another Human being. I wish only good for him as he moves forward with his life. He is in my prayers. 

I too move peacefully forward.

Thursday

Thursday is the day. The dark cloud is looming over my head. The past seven months has lead up to this day. Uncertain of what lies ahead, only that God's word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. He has lead me this far and I must trust him to guide me through the darkness into the light. Feeling a little sad. I must not worry or be anxious. Leaving all in Gods hands.

Send up a prayer ..... on Thursday.

Beauty

Leave a trail of beauty wherever you go. In the form of a kind word or deed.

Things I Love

I love New York City in th fall

I love taking the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty 

I love the crisp cold air in the winter.

I love to wear scarves, mittens and boots.

I love to snuggle buggle by a fire

 I love when my dog is happy

I love to laugh till I cry

I love to sip a cup of tea

I love the stillness of a quiet morning

I love a bouquet of pink roses

I love to watch the snow fall silently to the ground

I love to spend rainy days at the bookstore

I love pretty dresses and flowers in my hair

I love the ballet and  a flouncing tu-tu 

I love to go to the movies sharing a big tub of popcorn

I love surprises and the joy that fills my heart

I love kind words and the peace it brings my soul

I love hugs and kisses

I love lemon tartlets and  a chocolate croissants

I love the romance of Paris

I love twinkle lights at night

I love to decorate with the color white

I love a good thrift store and the hunt for a deal

I love the flea market on a Saturday morning

I love the presence of God in my heart

I love the support my family provides

I love to create beauty everywhere I go.

I love coming home at the end of the day :)

An Overcomer

You're an overcomer

Stay in the fight ‘til the final round

You're not going under

‘Cause God is holding you right now

You might be down for a moment

Feeling like it's hopeless

That's when He reminds You

That you're an overcomer

You're an overcomer

Everybody's been down

Hit the bottom, hit the ground

Oh, you're not alone

Just take a breath, don't forget

Hang on to His promises

He wants You to know

The same Man, the Great I am

The one who overcame death

Is living inside of You

So just hold tight, fix your eyes

On the one who holds your life

There's nothing He can't do

He's telling You    

You're an Overcomer....
