Hi everyone!
I've missed you. Sorry I haven't posted
for over a week. Actually, I've been busy creating
and trying to keep my mind off of
some junk life threw at me recently. I'm sure you've
had times like that too if you are human
like me. Also my hubby had a rough last few days
due to( we think) food poisoning from when
we ate out. I felt so helpless knowing there was
nothing I could do to help him through it
other than waiting with him for it to pass.
♥♥♥
While busy creating I came up with
this watercolor painting- pendant I am calling
Geo Blue Attitude
Soooo...on to a better week ahead!
I hope you won't mind if I share about a
sermon message I heard this week that
really hit home with me.
It was all about endings and beginnings and
how those endings or finishes to
something can sometimes cause us
to feel defeated and even to some it can feel
like the good life is over!
Maybe you've come to an end,
or a finish to something
like a job loss or a relationship loss or
financial loss, end of a season, etc... and you
are tempted to STOP THERE. Ready
to give up on your dreams that God has placed
in your heart. Well my friend,
DO NOT GIVE UP
DO NOT GIVE UP
that DREAM. You are not suppose to stop there.
Maybe it's over, but you're not finished!!!!
It is not the completion of your destiny.
God has a plan!
God has a plan!
"A tragic end can become a tremendous
testimony to the grace of an Almighty God
because they didn't stop"
Brian Huston
" Once we have come to the end of our
self-sufficiency, God will empower us to do the
tasks He has ordained for us."
Charles Stanley
When Jesus died on the cross the disciples
thought it was the end. Can you imagine all
of the feelings and emotions they must have had?
They probably felt defeated and hopeless, some maybe
even had guilty feelings or feelings of rejection
or abandonment. They didn't understand that
what they saw finishing at
the end of Jesus life on the cross
would bring about a
New and Glorious Beginning
when he arose from the grave and
now HE LIVES ♥♥♥
So my friend remember you were created
for a special purpose and that dream in your heart,
is most likely there,
because God put that desire inside of you.
Don't stop at an ENDING, because a
new beginning could be exactly what is
needed to fulfill your purpose.
Don't stop where you are not suppose to.
Don't stop where you are not suppose to.
"I will instruct you (says the Lord)
and guide you along the
best pathway for your life; I will
advise you and watch your progress."
Psalm 32:8 (TLB)
Remember:
"An amazing set back can mean an
amazing come back!"

So encouraging LeeAnn! Thank you for this post! You've been on my mind a lot lately. I'm praying you (and your hubby) feel God's peace & healing in all ways today!
Ah Lee Ann, I woke up this Monday morning thinking about new beginnings. This is the new beginning for me. One season has ended, a new one has begun.
There is a sense of loss, but also a wonderful sense of adventure.
God knew this day would come, and because he has the best in mind for each of us, I am looking forward to seeing it unfold. I do not expect smooth sailing all the time along the way, but I trust!
Love you!!
Every day is a fresh start. Your poor hubby, glad he's gotten it out of his system, food poisoning is some of the nastiest.
Love your pendant, the colours came out so vibrant and the design is great. I'm not a jewellery wearer, but if I was, that would have my name on it :-)
Kapow!!!!!
Another zap of soul sunshine
from my friend LeeAnn!!!
Thanks for this.
Bumped into the end of my
self sufficiency this week
....it was more of a collision than a "bump", actually.
And when I looked up through the
wreckage, there He was
...smiling and waiting.
I love that about God.
And how your posts nudge my eyes
toward that lovely face.

From your pendent it's clear that you love the blues too. In answer to your question on my blog, The blues in the piece were created with a combination of ink & acrylics, colours ranged from Manganese Blue Hue, Phthalo Blue(green shade) and Turquois(Phthalo) & a touch of Cobalt Blue
