Learning to do some canvas.  I love it!  What fun this is!  I possibly could add some little extra something to it but I thing I am ok with it here.  I love mixed media and am trying to teach myself using the techniques I find from the videos on YouTube.  Thank goodness for the internet for the positive things it allows us to view.



Change




Our Pastor encourages us to have a word for 2013.  I love this concept because it is much easier than a list of resolutions.  My word is "Change".  It is a change of attitude, a change in responses, and a change in thought.  It is a change that I desire to move up and forward and live with excellence for Christ.  There are things in my life that have to change to move ahead and receive the good gifts that God has waiting for me.  I have come to the realization that I must often be the one to stand and stand firm to let go of emotional baggage and people that keep my life from progressing.  It is going to take strength, much strength to cut out certain people.  It is necessary.

Valentine's Day---I have no beau.  That's ok, the "change" thing has to happen first.
I also know that love does begin with me.  I love God, but how hard it has been to love myself.  This is so evident by so many mistakes, but at least I am coming to terms with that.  Took long enough.
We ladies tend to take a back seat, see less value in ourselves, but we are spectacular creations and children of God.  He delights in us.   We were created in His image and that has to be amazing.
