The Rock.

"Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

When opened my bible last night it fell onto this page and this verse stood out like a shining light in the darkness after prayer. Over the last few days I have come to truly see that no matter what termoil and confusion, inconsistenancies and wrong expections are happening in my life, the word of God and the love of Jesus will always be consistent throughout the good times and the trials as he has in the past two years in which I have faced many in short periods of time.

I know I can pick up the bible anytime and read the wisdom and it will be the same as it was the day before, week before the month before and the year before and even in future- just with different parts of the light spectum highlighting meanings in verses that I missed the last time I read them.

I think God knew I needed to read this verse- Learn from it ponder on it and hand him my heavy yoke, my shoulders feel lighter already and what ever the trials I have reached a cross roads in a part of my life in the last few months. I have been standing there to long knowing I have to turn off the current path and start again down another. I feel a peace falling over me, my rock is there beside me patiently waiting for the choice I have made, take a deep breath and begin the next part of the journey down the new path.

Its not as scary any more, just a dirt path with new twists and turns and I'm ready to where it take me. I will lean totally on him in this, hand him my heavy yoke once again to carry for me. I will endeavour not allow the past hurts to shrowd my view and take control of any negative emotions waiting to surface once more. I'll focus on what he wants for me and grow and learn.

I'm trusting him completely down this unknown new path, because he already knows the way...even when I don't. Taking my small hand in his gentle, yet strong hand and we glance down the long lane walking in small trusting steps....

Over the last four years he has become rock that is the foundation of my life and salvation in every part of my life and existence here on Earth and in Heaven.  

For that I am eternally grateful.

This drawing started out as just an experiment in making my eyes more real, then I decided I liked it and had to do something with it!

"I'm watching you."

Creating a lifetime.

For as long as I can remeber I have had a love for creating things with my hands.

I don't think I have ever resticted myself to just one form of creativity, I just followed what caught my interest. Most of my youth I spent learning the arts of textiles, and working with porcelain. When I was 15yrs old I designed and made formal dresses for my friends going to Deb balls. I began to study period costumes and everything about how they wore them to the fabric weaves and all the beauty that people painstakingly went to just to walk out the door in days gone by.

I have no regrets that I didn't put my focus on drawing and painting at a young age, I knew I could draw and paint, at that point those skills I used for designing gowns for my hand made porcelain dolls, and art I started learning when I was 18yrs old. The flame for it has dwindled a little at the moment. But I never say never, one day I'm sure I'll go back to it, this time to create my own originals not make reproductions.

In the last year I have finally found my passion for fine art in drawing and painting and have decided to give it my focus and master the art. (If you can ever truly master it, art is something I pray I will be learning how to improve on until I'm no longer needed for gods work on the Earth and he calls me home.)

Being a mother to two precious small children is my main priority and being a good wife to my husband and run our home efficently. a worthy task and I gladly accept it with pleasure for the wonderful blessing of becoming a mother after 13yrs of sadness with the losses of unborn children I will never know. The joy of motherhood is here now and even with its trials I wouldn't trade a day of it.

Even with my busy life I can find time to pursue my passions in the late evenings and the times in the day when my kids take a nap, and for this I have my lord to thank for showing me how to do it.

I love to draw with different kinds of mediums. My current mediums have been Graphite/graphitint pencils. I'm loving the effects. I'm about to venture into Oil pastels! Wish me luck...
