Getting Busy





















I have been busy...well -- one night I got busy! I had been thinking about how to use this picture of the pears...how funny that my little scrawny "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" pear tree that is in my front yard only grew two pears. There is a story behind this poor little pear tree...When I moved into my house, I went to buy two ORNAMENTAL pears to put on either side of my driveway....a stately greeting to visitors. Unfortunately, only ONE was ornamental --the other was a REAL pear tree...that has remained very scrawny and stunted. Not really a very stately entrance...beautiful rounded ornamental tree on the left...and its ugly step sister of a tree over across the driveway. It did produce these TWO pears this year though...so it has blessed me with beauty if not bounty!

This other lay out is of my friend Ruthie...I just love her...and thought this picture needed to celebrate that...I think she is wonderful...

In addition to getting lo's done last night I also got my big ole shower cleaned all spic and span -- and added little scruffy things to the tiles so I don't slip and fall...which has been an issue ever since I moved into the house...it is a beautiful spa like shower -- but I have always been a little trepidatious stepping into it even with the bath mats 'cause they didn't really stick to well to the tiles. Long luxurious shower in my future...with NO fear.

Hope you all are having a terrific day.

Love you guys...thanks for your prayers

    Beautiful!!! I love that you printed that picture of Ruth on fabric! Wow! Annie told me about these so I checked your blog to see if you posted them. Go you on getting them done so fast! Wow!

    I cracked up when I read your post because I say "trepidatious" all the time. I looked it up once to see if it was a real word and I couldn't find it but if you say it - it must be! ha!!! You're like Tiff, you always say big words. I love that. LOL

"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...
