painting

well, i painted at the banquet last night, first time in a looooong time i've really painted anything artistically (text on banners doesn't count, lol!).... and it went well. i actually enjoyed it. *gasp*

the problem with me and art has been that he's been so pushy and snobbish of late....

*kidding*

the problem with me and art is that it is so emotional for me i wind up wanting to hack the piece up shortly after starting. last night it was like that for a little while, then it got better.

it doesn't usually get better! usually just worse.

so i think God's doing a healing there. since last night i've just wanted to paint and paint and paint!!!!!! lol.... but i have no canvasses at my new home yet.

maybe i will tonight...... ;)

i think the picture, a lady smiling (the 'bride of Christ' i wondered? ie. us?) was actually kinda prophetic for me.... cuz i actually came to a place of enjoying painting, and wanting to do it!

i had thought, what rotten timing, the same weekend as i'm moving... but last night as i was roaming around my as yet relatively empty home - nay, *dancing* around it - i realized i think it was God's way of showing me what His priorities were for me in my new home, my new life.

so it's going to be my studio/desert island - i can only bring what i would bring to a desert island, and nothing else.

well, i might be a *wee* bit more relaxed on that... but not much. i won't have the room for it!

    Lynne, your painting last night was absolutely gorgeous! I wish I could have been in there a little more to watch it being done. God blessed you with an amazing gift, so whenever you need to practice just let me know..I'll have canvas ready and you can display your art on our walls! lol

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
