What's on Your Work BED Wednesday!

I have been working on my bed
the past days as I am confined to rest
because of a bad cough.
So on my bed, you can see my journal,
bible, glue, a pair of scissors must be around somewhere,
papers to cut up and watercolor.
My paint and water are on the floor.

For those of you who asked,
yes I do journal everyday and
either paint or do collages.
I had more time today obviously.
The challenge was to make Jesus' hands
not look withered because he is healing the
man with the withered hand!

Today's reading is from Mark3:1-6.
Jesus asked the man with a withered hand to
"Stretch out your hand."

All of us have a withered something
we can stretch out to the Lord.
It can be a talent we haven't used,
a dream we've allowed to die,
a relationship destroyed by unforgiveness...

The good news is Jesus is asking us to
stretch it out to Him,
for healing, restoration,
to make it whole again.
We shouldn't lose hope.
There's always hope.

For more beds,
I mean desks,
neat and tidy,
chaotic and frenzied,
see Julia's Stamping Ground.

  8. I don't consider myself a particularly religious person, but your words struck a chord with me. My best friend and I recently had a parting of the ways due to miscommunication and stubborn-ness and I miss her terribly

  33. Hi, just found your blog. I too have had lots of problems with my header being really really blurry. Has anyone helped you with why, cause mine too was fine in the original file. Make sure your resting, but good work continuing to exercise your creative muscles. Love finding fellow livers of the Kre8ive Life.
