Nourish Peace


I am behind in painting. I have two friends who I want to paint birthday paintings for and both birthdays were in December.

Sometimes, I want to paint something but my "God vision" isn't the same as my own personal vision. So, I sit and wait and wait and wait, until I give in an attempt to paint the picture I know is meant for the person because I paint from vision not from a place of comfort. It usual requires me painting something I think I can't paint. Then, somehow, I paint it anyway. All because I listen to the "God voice" the voice of peace...

This is what keeps going through my head for my friends painting. It does not mean I know the answers, I do not. I just write and hope it makes people feel happy.


Nourish Peace

It takes a lot of effort to have personal peace

What can you do to have that peace

for yourself

What are the things standing in the way

of this

for you

What can be let go

What else can you give

to God

Nourish peace

drink it in

like water


Breathe

Things I Am Noticing


It seems like so many people

are trying to find

their soul purpose-

the thing they were put

on this Earth to do

It seems when we are

on the wrong road-

it is hard to feel

peace

OR

we just want to give more

to use the gifts God has given us

There is a peace plan for

all of us

God gave it to us

sometimes we just need

to be open

and listen


I am listening, I hope I hear :)

Mima's Friend

My sweet Mom went to the funeral today for a friend she has had for 50 years. She said she was seeing the memories like a movie in her head. Josephine was ready to go...very peaceful...but she will be missed.
Tell your friends how much you love them today. :)

Being busy --art by Ellie (paint by numbers)


I don't like it when I am too busy. It leaves me feeling very ungrounded.

I will be writing more- pls listen to the first song. How many of us feel like this, but we can get through it. :)

I am learning to accept

certain things

about myself that

may be difficult to accept

but once accepted

I can use it to

help people or

encourage people

who need it

it is really okay
