These past few weeks

I've had a sort of perpetual feeling of sadness - 

It's not really overwhelming, but it’s there – 

kind of constant, as I go through my day to day –

You see, some people close to me are facing loss, and illness, and STUFF.

It’s not my story to tell – but it breaks my heart all the same…

So I’m hanging on to this truth from another of my

favorite Nicole C. Mullen songs –

**I’ve Got a Message for You**

[click above to see the lyrics / hear the song]

GOD IS LOVE.

He is, really.

And being with Him brings peace.

That’s where I want to be.

And, I am – even in the midst of this sadness –

He is good.

The page above is in my art journal – 

I printed a drive through photo 

[I wanted a GREAT BIG sign to proclaim it!], 

stuck it down, and wrote out my feelings… 

Writing is such good therapy...

I may go back and add some paint in the sky…

Would love to see what you do -

  All songs are from the album below -

I know I've shared before that
the Summer of 2007 was a tough time for us as a family. 
One or both of our parents was hospitalized for 12 weeks --

The Lord gave this album to me to listen to while on the road 
back and forth and back and forth
[and back and forth]

 – and it spoke to my heart. 

I love to listen to it still. 

So I want to share some of my favorites with you this year!
[And hopefully these songs will be an inspiration to you too!]
I may have to pull it out again --
