here lately

I have so much to tell you.....

 Maybe you read perfect , my son Owen refused to color all summer, to the point of flying crayons, rolling in the floor, the full blown whole tantrum, all because I said"Will you color this picture for me?"  Well, he started Kindergarten this fall, and I'll be honest I was scared to death.  He's going to fail kindergarten because he won't color.  And I prayed "Lord please let him learn to just like it a little bit."  Funny how we limit God.  He is so big, so wonderful!  I thought this is a silly thing to pray about, but you know its not.  The bible says pray without ceasing, pray about everything, bring the little things to Me and I will make them big.

Last week, Owen says "Mom, I want to be an author. No, the other one." Me "An illustrator?"  Owen "Yes, an illustrator, you be the author, I'll be the illustrator.

and an artist is born

my students are thankful, which makes going to work worth it

we don't do if for the money

we don't do if for the fame, glory, or honor

we do it for the kids - that is and will always be the only reason it is worth it

my prayer lately

"Here I am, Lord send me"

we will see 

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”

   And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” 

~Isaiah 6:8
