It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
Dear Kristine - Let me first tell you that I enjoy your art very much! I am so happy to find your blog today and get to say hello!
ReplyDelete1 To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. ~Hebrews 1:11~
My faith is kept alive as I know The Lord is always working on my behalf. I may not be able to see it - But he is there!
In a world that is just a bit on the edge that is a great comfort!
Blessings!

Dear Kristine~ My faith is always in motion. Like the weather, it's not so easy to predict on any given day. But , even when there is just the smallest glimmer, I always believe God is watching over our fragile planet .
ReplyDeleteOver the years of my life I can see the ways God has transformed what would look to be someting dreadful into another story of redemption.
This helps to keep my faith alive.
My beloved family keeps my faith alive.
Faith is about knowing to love, even if your heart could be broken.
* Blessings and Peace * to a dear lady.
