Sweltering heat.

It's been stinking hot here in Brissie this past week. The sort of hot, humid weather where you sweat at the least exertion. Needless to say I am keeping exertion to a minimum. Housework can wait! Salads are the order of the day, and it's best practice to stay indoors and definately out of the sun. Yesterday I  had to go for a fine needle biopsy on two lumps I found in my neck. I will not get the results until next week, so I am staying positive and taking comfort in my faith, trusting that, come what may, I have a God that will never leave me. In light of this I was thinking my one little word for 2014 is trust. It's a little word that encompasses so much, and for me it means to not get ahead of myself with the what if's and what should be's, but to know I am exactly in the place I should be. Trusting that God is always at his work, and He won't leave me where I am.

I'm also trusting my creative instinct. As I have never painted in all my 50 something years, picking up a paintbrush 3 months ago was indeed scarey. But I'm loving where it's taking me also, and I know it's

a journey as well.
