*Reaching forward

"forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

(Philippians 3:13, 14 NKJV)

//always remember what the goal, the prize is//

BRAVE new world..

Brave new ME!

Look at the World

Look at the world,
everything all around us
Look at the world
And marvel every day.
Look at the world:
so many joys and wonders,
So many miracles along our way

Praise to thee,
O lord for all creation.
Give us thankful hearts
that we may see
All the gifts we share,
and every blessing,
All things come of thee.

Look at the earth
bringing forth fruit and flower,
Look at the sky
the sunshine and the rain.
Look at the hills,
look at the trees and mountains
Valley and flowing river,
field and plain.

Think of the spring,
think of the warmth of summer
Bringing the harvest
before winter’s cold.
Everything grows,
everything has a season,
till it is gathered
to the Father's fold.

Every good gift,
all that we need and cherish.
Comes from the Lord
in token of his love
We are his hands,
stewards of all his bounty
His is the earth
and his the heavens above

Praise to thee,
O lord for all creation.
Give us thankful hearts
that we may see
All the gifts we share,
and every blessing,
All things come of thee.

- John Rutter

Coppering

I've been playing around and experimenting with copper; learnt how to texturise, hammer, anneal, solder etc... the material is actually really fun to work with. Quite versatile and with a little imagination you could create something amazing. 

Humility

"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak, courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen" 
- Winston Churchill


...so I guess when you've done both, it is enough?

I've planted seeds.

Friday is coming!! That means the weekend is coming!

Its been a super busy week; I look back and wonder what I've achieved this week - it doesn't look like much:(... There's been no time for any creative work, which is really sad. I do hate it when this happens. But I saw this quote, which I think just sums up my week and makes me feel better - I've planted seeds :) 

And now, its time to water them and pray they grow.

...what could go right?

This put a smile on my face today :)

"All our dreams can come true...

...if we have the courage to pursue them" 


- Walt Disney

We can...

I was reading the news, when I saw the headline: "Swedish Man Survives Two Months Inside Snow-Covered Car" - and without food? First though, how is that even possible?

"I was trying to daydream but my mind kept wandering"

- Steven Wright

I Never Finish Anyth.

This is so true. I am forever starting things and not finishing them, or worse; having a thought to start something and not even starting them.

BUT I am going to make this the year; 
the year that thoughts get started, and things get finished!  
YES I am! YES I am! 

And you should too!

scribble away!

Seeing this just makes me want to draw, scribble and doodle away to my hearts content...

...Until my hands are tired and all my eyes can see are lines. Pen lines, pencils lines, coloured lines, pretty beautiful lines; whether they be part of a great drawing or not, is not important - the joy is in the doing! 

So try it and have a great time scribbling away! 

And do email me your scribbles its great to see other peoples work and share! I will post the best ones up.
