Knock

" Art is when you hear a knocking at your

soul and you answer."

He is the Gardener of my heart 

following His Word gives me Peace

Learn to Be

I love that quote !!

This last week I heard a knocking...

well...it really sounded more like [my own] voice in my head saying...

 " Hey ! You need to journal that !"

It happened while I was reading the Bible. 

Some words I wanted to savor.

[a normal morning scene]

So ....I picked up my journal to write them down, as usual, and then....

"draw. add color. really get entrenched in this."

Really ?? Color ?? Draw ?? So I pitch my daily journal back in it's basket...

and shuffle around until I find a new journal, one with blank pages.

I dig out my pens and my markers.

I pour myself a cup of coffee. 

I grab my Bible & my devotional.

I throw and old quilt on the floor...

light a candle...

[because it's God time...and it's going to be special]

and then... I answer the knock.

*grateful for...

that still small voice

the simple little girl I have drawn since I started dating, my now hubby...

she started out on napkins I left as little love notes.

feeling more focused and filled with His love

simplicity and imperfection

color and art

new ways of learning...

and journaling

answering the knocks 

Dear God, I just want to say Thank you.

XOXO
