THINGS I STILL WANT TO DO....

Good Mornin' y'all! .... Ain't God good?  Well, HE surely is!  He certainly has been to ME quite a bit lately.... He's been listening very well, to my prayers, and the prayers of others said on my behalf, and is blessing me in so many, many ways.... through Friends, I've never met, and an openness to some strangers along my way these past few weeks.  In these times, I know it is not safe to hardly look at another person that ya don't know, but sometimes that is just what God wants us to do....to give them a smile, or hold open a door for them, or praise the one who has on a WWII hat... and thank him for his service.  In sooooo many ways, God has been speaking to me quite a bit lately. And through his non-words I am getting His messages.  I am beginning to let go, and let GOD, as the saying says.  I know that this is not happening alone, as I know that I have others praying for me, and lifting me up to the Lord, and asking for His hand to be upon me, to show me the things HE wants me to know... I am getting the feed-back from the Lord, loud and clearly for a change!  Maybe because I am reeeeally LISTENING this time?  I don' t know, possibly, but I am not going to OVER-THINK it either, just continue to stay "in tune", keeping my "channels" clear, so there won't be static in the way that I have to try and decipher through.  Nothing worse than a radio station that you can hear a little bit, but because of the static, you cannot get it to tune in very clearly... y'all know what I mean... I know ya do. Well, I am relating this feeling I have been getting lately from the Lord, in that same way..... but I plan to keep my channels open and tuned in!  Sometimes I think about my age, and all of the things that I wish I HAD done, and think gosh, now I'm too old, or maybe it is too late, to make a new beginning, or to try something new.... and then I stop myself, and have to remind myself, it is never too late, until it IS TOO LATE!  ...... You know what that means, so I won't spell that out.  I hope and I pray that I have quite a few more days on this Earth, but I do not know how many there are, but God knows... and HE knows what I still have in my heart's desire to do yet.  I am sooooooooooooo (and then some) THANKFUL.... that HE has once again opened up this door of WRITING back to me, and helped me to see, that although I don't have a perfect "place" to do my PAINTING, that lo and behold, I CAN also do that... just by being a bit inventive, and thinking outside of the box....and willing to be able to do these things in SPITE OF, not having the "room" to do them.... but hey.... I am here, I have a roof over me, and I have all the supplies I need, so HE just said to me the other day.... GO FOR IT LYNN!  Make it happen!  HE was probably telling me.... you can, IF you don't look at the "obstacles"!   So I didn't really even THINK of those obstacles, when I threw that old towel and new rubber bath mat onto a side of the bed!  Then went into my various Bins and Boxes, and started pulling things out that I would need to get started... amazed at ALL THE STUFF I have... been just saving it up for the RIGHT PLACE!  Humph... never will I have a RIGHT PLACE, but I have made me a spot... and gotten a start... and am GUNG-HO to keep on the roll that I feel I am on. Keeping in mind that certainly not by myself, have I been able to do any of this.... in fact this writing here on my "BLOG" was reeeally encouraged to me by my dear friend, whom I dearly call "Glory"... because she IS a GLORY to ME!  Sooo here I am now, writing my words, probably rambling on and on, about this or that, and not worrying about the "correctness" of it much, so I can just get the words out and typed.  IF at any time, none of it makes sense, or it's too much for ya.... you can stop reading, and I'll never know!  Unless you choose to tell me that is, and that's ok too, if you have any constructing criticism for me... I'll take it!  But... back to the subject...  I have begun WRITING again, thanks to Glory and to God, of course as well!  And.... THEN.... wowie zowie, I got out my paints and stuff and made my own little "Bed Studio" and began to paint.... I have some wonderful ideas in my head, and now that is about all I want to do.... Soooo that being said, I guess I need to quit writing right now, so that I can get up and get to painting again.... I am hoping that through some of my creations, a Life may be touched, someone might feel some encouragement, or Peace.... I have lots of ideas to invoke these things, hopefully, into my painting...  I feel that I don't want to JUST paint, but that I can make a DIFFERENCE possibly, with WHAT I paint, and HOW it is presented.  I will be working on it, and I will be writing about the progresses from time to time...... Ahhhh yes, two of the most favorite things I have always liked to do, but never done enough of it, as I wish I had... WRITING and PAINTING....  soooo no holds barred, watch out y'all, I am going to head out full steam and see what God can work in me, through me, so that I can give HIM back all of the praise and glory HE deserves.... let's see what  happens.... Y'all ready to come along with me.....????  Let's GO!  ~LBD
