Number two from the list of thoughts.

2.. speak with God instead of trying to do it all

What can i say.  I talk to God in snippets throughout the day, and still i get caught up. I don’t know why it takes me so long to realize when i need to think a little deeper and wider when it comes to relating with God. My interaction can become shallow when i’m not giving things over to God to handle, or asking God for guidance and help.

One of the sure signs of needing to go deeper is when something is bothering me. Depending on what it is, i can take it and hold on like a dog with a meaty bone.  It’s really a very sad sight when i don’t let go with all that drooling and growling and such.

choice

A choice is made. But, it takes a person ages to realize the immensity of it. We know that it was a choice to follow Jesus. We are brought to a place of awareness that, somewhere along the line, we have made the choice that our heart knows is right. And we find that choice being renewed over and over again as our minds and hearts are being renewed.

We had no idea what changes would take place in our heart. We did not know of all the breaking and comforting; or for that matter, all the Grace.

We start a process of being retaught, sometimes forgetting just who the teacher is, we are constantly being brought back on track as God speaks to us. He speaks to our spirit with His Holy Spirit. He speaks with a soft voice to our heart. And when we don’t listen, He waits…until we are ready to listen again.

Eventually we understand that we are to listen to His voice, and to do what He says. It must be His voice. And we know His voice. Our heart has always known his voice. And still we are constantly brought back on track. That never changes.

And one day we look around and find just how much change has taken place. It can be encouraging, and sometimes scary. But, still, our heart knows that we are in good hands.

If we are quiet and we listen, we know who God is, and who we are. And we know that the immensity is a very great Love that brings us home.

what is art ?

Art is for everyone.

Hey, I know it’s a small word, but it covers a lot of ground.
The origin of this word gives us a look into what art is all about.

It came from

Gk. arti “just,”

artios “complete, suitable,”

artizein “to prepare;”

L.artus “joint;”

Armenian arnam “make;”

Ger. art “manner, mode”),
from root *ar- “fit together, join”

.
To make, prepare or bring together. I would say that it’s
an important thing to do with an open heart.
This “art” sounds like relationship making, communication,
a joining of people, hearts, spirits, and things together.

It can be started by someone in the past and complete
something or connect with someone in the future.

It’s something we all do, and it seems central to how we
were made.

Now, that’s what i call art.

Okay…I  would really like it if you would tell me what you think about art…

people,
we need to care about what we do
whatever we do
caring about it
like Love
flowing out of our heart
a sweet song
pouring out from the mouth
electric current
escaping from our finger tips
our eyes speaking like soft sea waves
Love shining out of our pores like sweat
on a hot mississippi day

You take something in. And in the way that you communicate this to someone else, this is your art. Everyone does this. Relating is creating.

Everyone will contain things with labels. We must often look beyond the labels to see.

There will be people saying that only some people do art. But that is a lie.
