"Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear it's cries. - Dallas Willard, Renovation Of The Heart."

It takes courage to pursue our dreams. It takes time and patience to unearth buried treasure. But I believe with all my heart that we must do both.

Banner

I have to tell you about the picture I used for my banner. I have met some really precious women through blogging. One being Mystele (scroll down and click on studio mystele for her site) She is a wonderful artist, her art is an out pouring of her heart and her relationship with God. Her art is a soulful expression full of deep meaning. She has begun to do commissioned paintings. She worked with me to birth this wonderful painting, rich with meaning for me.

An expression of what God is doing in my life. An available women open to God and him moving in my life. Three windows. One for the past, and the healing work he is doing. One for the present (in me), and one for the future. For he has a plan for my life. Vines on the side, for he is growing me up in HIM!!

Mystele, thank you, thank you, thank you. You are such a blessing in my life. I love you!!

Oh how inspiring! I love Mystele's blog also. She just makes me smile--always. God just pours out of her! Love your blog and your wonderful banner! Thanks for visiting my blog and yes, Bucky is a Corgi--and sometimes quite an incorrigible one at times. He has a big head because he knows he's cute!
