One Step On the Journey

Well...a new day has dawned. I have learned to post scrapbook pages to 2Peas AND created my own blog all within 24 hours. This should count for more than ONE step I think!

Today I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with the whole hysterectomy thing. Most days, I just feel like I am recovering from surgery -- but don't feel the emotions of it all. Don't think it is hormones...think it is just being a GIRL...and realizing that a whole phase of my life is gone -- never to return. There are good sides to it all...and most of all, I know I rest in God's hands 00 none of this caught HIM by surprise, I am just needing to run to catch up a bit.

    First of all, congrats on your new technological advances. ha!

    I can see how you would feel sad about having that done. Even though you probably had no plans to use that stuff, it was good to have it there, huh? What's done is done now and you'll feel better in the long run.

    I speak blessings to you today that you will have renewed joy and peace - in Jesus name!

    The sadness is passed today...feeling much stronger. Of course having TONS of work to accomplish has helped focus my mind off of my belly button and onto things that are healthier.

    None of this caught God by surprise, and He loves me and has many wonderful, challenging and delightful things in store for me. When I feel sorry for myself, it is because I have taken my eyes off of HIM and focused on me which never allows me to see all the many blessings I already have received. Thanks for the blessings, I receive them and am joyful.

"What? You Are Drawing and Painting In Your Bible?!?!?!"

This question was followed by the whispered question, "Don't you think that makes God mad? It's HIS WORD!"  Yes...let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jann and I am a Bible Journal-er! Since you have seen me draw on just about anything...you are probably not as surprised as my friend with whom I had this conversation. And just to be clear, I'm not poking fun at her - I think that I have had that exact same conversation with myself over the years of my personal study...because even though I have recently started painting in my Bible - I have written my heart out in the margins of many Bibles as I have dug into God's Word to learn everything that He has wanted to teach me. And I have often drawn small images to remind myself of a principle -- like the one I drew here at the end of the book of Genesis! Rabbit Trail : I felt that it ends rather abruptly - after we have studied all the things that happened to Joseph over the course of his life the final sente...

Under His Wings

Image
 Everyone needs a safe place to go when they are afraid or in danger. Growing up in Texas, we learned at a young age that when the tornado siren went off, you stopped and headed to the inner most room of the house with no windows. If you were quick about it, you could also bring a pillow and a stuffed animal for comfort. The whole family would huddle until the storm had passed. That's not bad advice...for earthly storms...but hiding in a closet when you're facing life's trials doesn't real help much! I love the picture of God's covering and protection that we find in Psalm 91. It says He will cover us with His wings (or feathers) like a Mama chicken takes care of her chicks! When danger comes...all her brood hustle to get under her wings because she will protect them with her life. There is no safer place...in life, than under the protection of our Mighty God! I created this card and Bible page with the @sweetnsassystamps set called "Under His Wings." It i...
