Prophetic Artist

Janice VanCronkhite

I fell in love with this artist and her artwork. So my hubby purchased two
of her pieces. Now to get them framed and hung on my wall. This is called "Free to Live". Check out her work and read the beautiful comments she wrote on the star fish. I also purchased the "Warring Dove."


I'm reading a book I bought yesterday - The 5 Lessons A Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth by Richard Paul Evans. My oldest son called yesterday to ask me to find the King James Bible laying on my dining room table and find the notes his dad had written at the top of one of the pages. It fell open right to where my son had been reading while he was home over the weekend to Psalm 90.
My hubby's note read "It is God's presence that gives the task importance! not size of task." When I read that to my son, he said, "Mom tell dad even when he is not talking to me directly, he is speaking to me." He is beginning to have minor panic attacks again. They are happening as he drives to work. I know where he is working is tough but God will see him through. I trust God's direction for my son. My heart's desire - "That somehow God would provide for him to go to Bible College in the Fall" but is that God's desire for him right now.

Leprechaun's Sunset

Yesterday while working I stopped long enough to take this awesome sunset through a tour bus. I think I will enlarge the pic with the tree branches and leaves and the sunset.

The sunset was beautiful, but the best pic
was the one that got away.

New Great-Auntie

Yesterday I received this wonderful goodie bag of

baby gifts I ordered from Sherry. I can't wait to mail

it out to my sister. She is a first-time grandmother.

Little Marc is going to look so cute wrapped in his

minkie blankie.

Christian Celebrities

I was watching an interview with Sinbad. He mentioned in his early years he started out being a dirty comedian. But once when his father came to watch his act, he knew he had to clean up his act before his father. He talked about being in Hollywood and the people there saying he is not "controversial" enough; that he's too "clean". I think he meant by controversial that he didn't do the raunchy, vulgar, low standards comedy so many comedians do today.

He is a great actor and comedian, who lives Jesus. I had to laugh as he told the stories of wanting to go through "his" door instead of the one God had picked out for him. He was so real sharing about his anger with God.

REAL, yeah, How REAL can you get with those around you?

Can you be yourself? I found myself shying away from telling a young man

at work that tore tendons in his arm that I would pray for him.

But that is who I am. Why would I want to deny God and His gifts through prayer?

FAT Goddess ATCs

Here are two wonderful ATCs from Ange and Linda.

Aren't they great! The color in the covered lady is awesome and all the embellishments just add to the ATC. The other is a collaged

piece with great texture, even the backing fabric is luscious.

Amulet Trade

Sherry and Jen traded these great amulet bags with me on FAT. Sherry's is the beautiful fancy brown fabric one. Inside it has the Christian "fish" symbol charm. Inside Jen's amulet bag is a needle case, she even included a needle. They are very unique amulets.
I can't wait to have an opportunity to wear them.

Work

Guess who came to visit? Of course, Ruby and her family. I told her she is going to be the most famous little girl to visit us on a regular basis. Her mother found that amusing and loved the fact that I remember Ruby by name.

It's a great day to be alive in the Lord. I love reading Proverbs.

Proverbs 3:5,6 says

"Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct your steps."

I wish I could have been home today when my oldest left to go back to the beach. He ended up in urgent care too. His throat was raw, and he found it difficult to eat. But at least being home gave him an opportunity to be quiet and rest and get medicine. He so does not take care of himself.

Now I am signing off to go listen to my son's three songs. He gave me a copy to listen to when I get a chance.

Rest

Today I have rested on the couch. My leg problem has made me very tired.

My SIL and BIL rode down on their Harley to visit. They lost their bull dog, Lucy a week ago. My SIL is very depressed and lost without Lucy. They did not realize her throwing up was caused by an inoperable stomach cancer.

It was fun watching all my sons with their uncle joking about tatoos. My SIL wants to get a tatoo of her two dogs' faces on her lower back.

What do you say - everyone handles situations in so many different ways.

Good Night

Just arrived home from work. My oldest son came to visit

through tomorrow. My leg is still very sore, red and painful.

But they say its not any kind of clot. Thank God and thank

everyone for praying. Sue you are so funny.

Another gorgeous sunset!!
