Modern, Original, Christian Artwork

This has been a good week so far.  I started a job waiting tables, so getting out of the house and being up and moving has been nice... I need to learn the menu better - and I don't drink, so learning the drinks is going to be interesting - there are mixed drinks I've never heard of - Arnold Palmer, anyone??? Sounds like a major league baseball pitcher to me. . . Anyway - it's good and I'm excited about it.

I had a song stuck in my head for 3 days at the beginning of this week called 'Depp In Love With You' by Michael W. Smith. It's possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard... but then, check back with me in a week and will probably have a new favorite - have a listen:

The words are:

Sitting at Your feet is where I want to be

I'm home when I am here with You

Ruined by Your grace, enamored by Your gaze

I can't resist the tenderness in You

I'm deep in love with You, Abba Father

I'm deep in love with You, Lord

My heart, it beats for You, precious Jesus

I'm deep in love with You Lord

Humbled and amazed that You would call my name

I never have to search again

There's a deep desire that's burning like a fire

To know You as my closest friend

I'm deep in love with You, Abba Father

I'm deep in love with You, Lord

My heart, it beats for You, precious Jesus

I'm deep in love with You Lord

Lord, my redeemer, Your blood runs through my veins

My love for You is deeper than it was yesterday

I enter through the curtain, parted by Your grace

Oh, You're the lover of my soul

I'm deep in love with You, Abba Father

I'm deep in love with You, Lord

My heart, it beats for You, precious Jesus

I'm deep in love with You Lord

The Lord has been speaking to my heart about trusting Him more.  Sometimes I think I trust Him so much, completely, but then I find myself so afraid of what the future holds... that's not trust.

Romans 8:15: For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Abba is an Aramaic word which means "daddy" or "papa". It's the kind of endearing term I use for my earthly father to tell him how much I love him.

I still have so much to learn about how much God loves me. It's incomprehendable. And b/c I know ME, it's hard to believe that He loves me like He loves His Son. I so don't deserve it.  I still have a lot to learn and understand about GRACE, too. . .

Thank God He doesn't give up on us b/c of our inability to see Him how He really is... Instead, He shows us, patiently and lovingly.  Our God is SUCH a GOOD, AWESOME GOD!!!  I want everyone I know to KNOW God.  I pray that I will be willing to let HIM work THROUGH me to make HIM known. . . apart from any selfish motives. (that's a TALL order!) ... but I'm closer today than I was yesterday... and that's good enough for me.

Tyson, lovin' on his teddy, Big White:

My Beloved:

And my little female mouse that was being bullied by the boy mice I let go a couple weeks ago - it looks bad, but her back is healing - I've been cleaning it with saline solution and putting neosporin on it... she doesn't like it when I do it, but she'll get over it when she ends up living:

That's all I've got for today. It was pouring when I got up this morning, now the sun is shining and it looks like it's going to be a pretty nice day - Spring is almost here - I even see some green grass starting to grow!!!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!
