Creating & Our Words

I finished up the last of my custom orders for 2015 around the 2nd week in December and then I just chilled.  I made a canvas for my SIL and a few other things here and there, but mostly just took a break.  And breaks are good, but I have a major need to create bent.  So kicking off the new year with new orders and projects has been crazy good for my heart.  The days are super lengthy feeling, the sun doesn’t shine as long and emotions are running rather high and intense around our house lately, so it’s easy to get swept in.  Creating something new is like a good dose of sunshine for me.  And school starting back was like another good dose of sunshine for me…in particular the littles school starting back 🙂  Toddlers are like “whoa”.

Still working on this one, but it’s been good to paint again.

I am still taking orders, so you can message me HERE or email at pitterpatterart at gmail dot com if you are interested.

So excited to get back into teaching the Bible journaling classes.  I have one tomorrow night in Hendersonille and I just can’t even say how excited I am.  The next class I’m hosting at our house on January 23rd.  I do still have 6 spots available if you are interested.  You can check out all the details HERE.

Also, I know it may be weird, but I would love to hear from ladies going to the Created For Care retreats…if any of you are out there.  I’m teaching the Bible Journaling sessions…going completely solo…I don’t even know my roommates’ name…this is hard stuff for an introvert who really longs to be an extravert…easier said than done.  Come say hi to me…I am a hugger though…you have been warned.

And James might not have been the best book to start for the new year.  Holy cow.  So many many emotions and thoughts and I can’t even begin to gather them all up.  Far too many right now.  James is pretty much killing me and chipping away at all the craptasticness in my heart.  Geez.

I will leave you with this bit of in your face goodness from James 3:5-6 the message:

“By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it…”

Yes, I know.  How dare James.  Gigantic slap in my face today.  I say it 1000 times a week…There is the power of life or death in our words.  Will we choose to build people up or tear them down?  My mom said this to me often and she picked it up from a little book called The Bible 🙂

Happy Tuesday.
