Freedom to be ME!




I hesitated to post this picture of my desk
this morning.
It is such a mess.
Obviously, I just let things pile up,
and now I cannot even find my crochet thread
which I need to sew on my buttons.
To think that the thread has a drawer
of its own, with a label!
Here is my canvas so far.
I've been doing some dirtying up.
Now I am auditioning what to put on it-
buttons, scrap cloth, a curtain ring?
Whatever!
Here is my journal for today.
I realize that the Word of God is alive.
If we read it, there is always an effect.
Most of the time, we do not notice the changes.
But if we keep reading,
eventually, even we will see how we have changed.

I have been reading the Word of God for a long time.
And I know I have been set free from
negative feelings about myself,
too high expectations,
pressures to be a perfect
wife, mother, daughter, businesswoman,
leader in our community....

The list goes on.
and on.

Of course, that's also why my craft room
is a whole mess.
If I was always thinking that I needed
to keep it neat and tidy,
I doubt if I would be free
to create anything!!

Visit Julia of Stamping Ground for more
desks and ongoing projects.

Linking up with Laura for Playdates with God,
and Word Filled Wednesday.

  4. I love both your canvass and journal page. Those slow changes that come as we read and immerse ourselves in the Word are so encouraging when we suddenly catch a glimpse of them aren't they.

  7. I am happy to join you in a delinquent craft room.
    In fact I tend to call it the den of iniquity ...it is so bad.
    But then I tidy it up and it stays good......for all of 5 mins.

  22. Patsy, I absolutely love your work! Looking at your desk made something stir inside of me...it's that longing to create--you know what I mean? I love seeing the work spaces of creative people--even the clutter is inspiring! And your journal is just delicious too. I'm so glad you linked to playdates this week. What a blessing you are to me!

  23. I love your flower collage, and your comments about your crochet thread having a proper home but not being able to find it , made me smile in a knowing way.
