Nancy,

Just popping in here today to tell you what a joy you are. Keep doing what you're doing.

It's true: Your words and your art matter!

Beautiful photo - what kind of flower is that?

"Boughs in hand" - it is time to celebrate what He has done for us - Easter and every day!

Hi Nancy,

I am a bit behind on my blog reading. You have been on my heart; hope things are going well.

Read several of your posts...you have some lovely pictures and words. I recall wanting a better camera last year. I also read You're Already Amazing...I loved it. I also love the illustration of a broken pitcher.

Have a blessed Easter...

Mary

Beautiful, Nancy.

2012-03-13T08:35:08.857-05:00

I love this:

"For the end is actually the beginning."

And it reminds me of the verse of scripture that says

(loosely paraphrased)

"For those who are in Christ Jesus, we have already passed from death into life."

Ladies - thank you.

I am so sorry for your loss but so glad he is rejoicing now with Jesus. Love the tulips as a remembrance.

Dianne - Thanks for your encouragement. I look forward to that lesson you mentioned.

Denise - I appreciate your thoughtful comment.

We are, indeed, a blank canvas to begin with. And if we let the Artist color our lives, instead of insisting that we paint it ourselves, we will become what He intended for us all along.

I pray you continue to find His beauty and His truth through your art.

2012-03-08T14:45:16.279-06:00

Dear, dear friend, first of all just let me say how much I appreciate the "shout out" and hopefully I will be adding some more soon.

I loved what you shared with us. And the illustration for the particular scripture just made it come alive. That truly is a gift--to SEE something in your spirit like that.

No telling what "treasures of darkness""--in a box in a closet--now that is dark--you will discover as you go back through the years.

And I just bet that they will bring us much light and joy--please share more and share what you are doing right now--

Don't be afraid to get a cheap little watercolor set (or a very good one) and add a dab of color--yes, just a dab goes a long way.

I hope to give a simple little lesson soon--

My life is out of control right now--well, I should say my house--with even this little bit of remodeling--can't seem to get my head above water--I tried to clean off my art table today--smile!

Once again--thank you!

2012-02-29T06:40:13.320-06:00

Nancy, I love you list, but more than that I love how it made me pause and reflect. Thank you. Finding His gifts in the everyday is a gift in and of itself!

Blessings~

2012-02-28T23:11:13.465-06:00

Yes, the longer I read the more I pondered that line, "walk into the resurrection."

I want to think about this some more--

walk into new life

walk where the grave has lost its sting

walk where death has lost its victory

walk where nail-scarred feet have paved the way

walk into freedom

I loved this post, Nancy!

I like the rhythm I hear in this, Nancy. I once read a book on the Vietnam War called The Things They Carry. In one scene the author went through everythign the average soldier carried and how much weight it added up to. I'm so grateful there is One who carries me.

Thank you, Nancy--I will reflect on this and hopefully be a different person Easter Sunday morning.
