Day of Rest

Greetings!

This has to be the last Sunday, I am home.  I miss my church family, the message and the singing.  I am still weak and couldn't take the chance to have a set back.  Praying for new strength this week.  I must admit, I slept a little bit more than normal today.  I am better than yesterday and that is a blessing. 

Paper cutting took up part of my day.  I continue to make little journals to give away.  I am learning to layer more and use different textures to provide interest.  I pasted some little hearts on several pages and that helped.  I will try and  take pictures tomorrow.  I love cutting, pasting and placing each item on each page.  Hopefully  this week, I will be back out in my craft corner.  I don't like laying on the sofa and doing nothing. 

I read a little today about Abraham and his trip to the mountain to sacrifice his son.  I can't imagine what he felt, but He had God as his focus no matter what.  So thankful that we no longer have to sacrifice to please God. I love being covered in the blood and cradled in the  hand of Jesus. When I first started school at Southwest Texas I studied the wood of a cross for an art class. I am still drawn to that work.The bark, texture and colors of a tree trunk continues to capture my attention.    I loved school and found Christ in many classes.  I often wonder why I didn't continue down the path of art and not so scattered in so many different subjects.  I have a degree in Applied Arts and Science.  Maybe it is because during my time in Christian Child Care, I learned to love the behaviors, communication, criminal justice  and understanding people do what they do.Maybe tomorrow, I will look in that portfolio and see what I did. I am proud to be an alumni of Texas State University. 

The promise for today is:   I will shield your life and deliver you from the wicked. Psalm    97:10

It has been a long day and I am ready for bed.  I pray you rest well and start tomorrow with Jesus on your lips. 
Love is in the ink.
