bursting the seams

I was chatting with Neil on the phone the other day and he shared some things God had been doing a way out in Saskatoon.... another friend in Germany also shared a sweet story.... and I'd seen God healing the heart of a friend here in Ladner.... What an Awesome God we have.... HE LIVES and is unchanging and reaches every end of the earth! Eph. 1:23.... He 'who fills all in all'. Sometimes I feel like I can't keep it inside anymore.

the bombarded brain

At school the other day I just felt like my brain was under attack. So I started this doodle. It seems the school system tries to get rid of any values a student might have. We are constantly being injected with thoughts and ideas. If you enter university defenceless and alone… you don’t stand a chance under the shower of bullets. It’s as though your brain sits in the middle of a field, totally unprotected, in-between a crossfire of ideas. That brain is not coming out unaffected. I've just been thinking how important it is to constantly be refilling our minds with God's thoughts. That's mostly what the doodle is about. It was so encouraging to read: “Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand.” Eph. 6:10-11

This is a quick doodle, I was looking out of my window on a stormy day. I just love wind. It's so powerful but invisible.

Gentile and kind her caring eyes speak,

Loving each person she happens to meet.

She's faster to listen and slower to talk,

If you're feeling down go with her on a walk.

She's the motor that pushes our family of seven,

Although most of the time there are more like eleven.

The neighbourhood families come to her with their trouble,

She'll quietly listen and make meal portions double.

She never takes rests till the work has been done,

No question about it, she's a hard working mum.

To teach old dogs new tricks, isn't easy they say,

Well she proved that wrong, one wintry day.

At age 43, which isn't that old,

She learned how to ski, now isn't that bold.

If there was one thing about her I aspire to be,

I'd wish my mother's eyes get passed on to me.
