GOD THE ARTIST

You take the pen
and the lines dance.
You take the flute,
and the notes shimmer.
You take the brush,
and the colours sing.
So all things have meaning and beauty
in that space beyond time where you are.
How, then, can I hold back anything from you.

Dag Hammarskjold

You know how sometimes you just can’t believe how crushed you feel? When it seems as if you’re looking at yourself and your life like a spectator – from the outside in – and your own heart breaks for the woman lying on the bed, crying her heart out.

When you know what she’s been through, how hard she tries, how she leans in against the winds and storms of life – struggling to stay upright – and you can’t help but weep for yourself. For how lost and broken you feel.

If this is how you feel today, remember you are not alone. God is with you; only but a prayer away. Reach out to him. He will pick you up, console you and carry you. Try not to lose hope. Keep the faith.
I pray that God may dry your tears, heal your broken heart, mend your crushed soul and bless you with love, peace and joy.
​
Much love, till next time.

As we (ever so slowly!!) approach the summer season, there is the promise of change in the air. Flowers and blossoms everywhere and a little more sunshine in our days. With the emphasis on little – seems winter wants to hang on a bit longer!
​
What are you hoping for as we roll into this new season? Are you approaching a new season in your personal life too? Maybe making changes, a new start? Amongst other things of a more personal nature, I’m hoping for joy and happiness. I could really do with a bit more of that in my life right now.

Whatever it is you are hoping and praying for, I hope you find it. May the changing of the seasons bring positive changes and new beginnings into your personal life too. 

When you're facing an uphill battle. When you feel you just can't go on. When sorrow and heartache and trouble and worry is pressing you down.... lean on God. Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't push yourself to your limits. Just breathe and do whatever you can. And if breathing is all you can manage in that moment, then breathing is what you do. Just sit quietly and breathe. Be still. Be kind to yourself. Pray. You and God..... you've got this! One step at a time.
