go girl........can you guess....

what i used to color this image with!? i am so impressed with myself - i can hardly keep it in!!! this just happened!! it is true what they say - you have to spend time with your supplies and not be scared to experiment!! please make a guess - i would LOVE to see if you guys can guess!!!



i hope you have all had a good week. i, for one, cannot believe that it is FRIDAY already. i still had so many things i wanted to do this week!! one thing i did manage to do, was realise how true the Lord is when we are obedient. i have had to make some tough decision (mostly unpleasant, tough ones) in the last year, but i knew at the time that i had to be obedient. it is now almost exactly a year after the most difficult one i had to make - AND STICK IT OUT, and the tide is now turning! also - at the right time! my other hard decision i made 6 months ago, also proves to have been the right one - being obedient. you know, i believe that the RIGHT thing to do, is mostly the HARDEST thing to do. maybe that is why they sometimes say that to follow Jesus is not for sissies. it is really tough, sometimes, from a human perspective. when i feel so sorry for myself, i just have to remind myself that God had to see His only Son hang on a cross - and His Son also asked to be spared - but He loved us so much that He only wanted to Glorify His Father, and be obedient to Him, so that we may live. i was just wondering - are we obedient enough, or do we always want that instant gratification? when we raise our kids - we sometimes HAVE to say NO - because we know a little bit better than they do, what is good for them. why then, are we so impatient when our Heavenly Father tells us to just WAIT..........................not to spite us, but to protect us, and because He KNOWS the plans He has for us, and so often we want to jeopardise His plans with our own selfish desires. i know the week is almost finished, but i am going to try and listen more intently and WAIT on God before i act............i don't want to miss ANYTHING good He has in store for me, just because i am impatient. i pray that all of use will be a bit more AWARE of our Heavenly Father's voice - and actually LISTEN and OBEY, and not just ignore it. it could just be the RIGHT thing to do........
