Seeds Petals & Tulips

 Well the weather is snowing and blowing and there was no school and no working on the spiderman mural today. Tomorrow it will still be blowing and school has already been canceled. The road crews were not making any progress so they are parked at the moment...

Good Times at home!!!

Found this quote by Wayne Dyer and it rang true with me.

"All blame is a waste of time. No matter

how much fault you find with another,

and regardless of how much you

blame him, it will not change you"

- Wayne Dyer

 Blame........

 I have been there and done that.....

I think the world view is, it is never my fault... we can always find someone or something to blame.

The president, no time, bad weather, the roads, its to hard and my hormones are making me crazy. ect..

Even Adem and Eve, Blamed the serpent. Claiming he deceived me!

. There seems to be an abundance of blame and excesses out in the world today.

I have realized lately that I have choices every day on weather to take responsibility for my own actions, emotions and not blame others.

   So I have been determined to stop before I blame and take account of of the choice I have to not blame others and choose to change only me.

I know in my heart that God holds me accountable. He gave me free will, and with that I  have the right to make my  own choices and decisions.  My choice is to serve the Lord. With this freedom of will comes my responsibility for right and wrong behavior, and how I choose to respond.

For example.. is it someones fault if I allow my hurt or anger to make me curl up in a ball and waste a whole day just crying and being depressed?

I realized I was allowing others to steal my joy, So I choose to lay it all down at the cross and take a couple of deep breaths and choose to change my own behavior. Of course it is not as easy as that, it has been a long learning process and I have spent many days in the valley with  tears and blaming others. But I have found the only way out of the valley is to start walking with Jesus. So my friends if your in the valley the only way out for you is to choose to get out and to lean on Jesus all the way. I believe you can also do all things through Christ who will strenthen you, Jesus will  be with you every step of the way, just ASK!

I have overcome much, But never alone...Thank you Jesus!

PETALS & INSPIRATION

What if we could take all our hurts, mistakes and past failures and put them in a box. Wrapped them up all neat and tidy and maybe lock it up or tape it really good. Then we could mail them off to somewhere with a no return address never to be seen again. It would be an attempt to let go of our burdens, without worries that they might resurface with out notice. They would be long gone in no where land, lost and not found. We couldn't get the box back, there is no customer service contact to call and no UPS tracking number.

In reality even the smallest event can trigger an emotional response and remind me of past hurts and failures.  Then... wham! bam! I am reminded and transported back to the emotions of the past and with the blink of an eye, the tears are welling up in my eyes.

I have to stop... and tell myself it is a choice...do not go back to the past.

 I have chosen to lay my past and burdens down at the CROSS.

Just breath......

I can do all this because, I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.

I am so thankful that I don't have to do it alone.

I will abide in HIM, HE abides in me and therefore he is always with me.

John 15:4

"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. A branch cannot produce fruit alone but must remain in the vine. In the same way, you cannot produce fruit alone but must remain in me."

For Gods Glory Alone, Deborah

Spiderman & Inspiration

Sooo... I started Spiderman, Why is it no matter how prepared I think I am on the 1st day!

I am Not!!!

Any How, I was able to get 4 Main drawings on the wall, so really not so bad for a first

DAY!

I haven't work on a mural job since last Summer so it will take some time to get in the

zone....

Here are some pics of a couple of murals I've done in the past...

The Little Mermaid and Surfing Monkeys.....

I have alot of fun doing Kids rooms!

Another stroke of the brush!

Inspiration....

I suppose we all need to take a leap a faith once and a while.

I've heard that even a turtle must stick out its neck to move ahead.

I guess that is what I am doing Blogging and putting my art out into the universe.  For along time I didn't think it was good enough.

And any other excuse I could come up with. Like I don't want someone to copy my work. The Internet is a scary place for a newbie.

Then I decided if you don't take the risk you will never

know what could have been.

As you can see I am a right brained person, soooo for me to aspire to learn the computer

has been a bit of a challenge. But I can not express how good it feels to have accomplish this much

and get to the point where it makes a little sense to me now.

I still haven't figured out how to get a button so others can grab a button and put it on their website

or blog and it will link back to me.

Soooo...if anyone out there can explain it in simpleton terms or direct me to a site that explains Button for Dummies.

I would really appreciate it.

 What I realized... was that by not putting myself out there, I was not trusting God in all areas of my life, I was living in fear.

Fear of failure

Fear of rejection

Just to mention a few! So I turn to scripture.

"Behold, the Lord your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said to you, Fear Not, Neither be dismayed."

Deuteronomy 1:21

Live in Peace, Trust God and have no fear, in the coming year!

GODS BLESS!

With Jesus I am never alone!
