WOYWW: God Listens

This is the extension of my desk,

where I usually paint.

As you can see, there is hardly any space unfilled.

Paints, backgrounds, pencils, gel medium, brushes.

I really am a piler-upper.

Underneath the painted backgrounds,

are my scissors, more pens and pencils,

and all sorts of other things

(maybe even a dead mouse, eeek!)

This morning, I was reading from the Book of Job.

Really an amazing story, 

which I am inclined to believe is fiction.

It's part of the Wisdom literature of the Bible

and is meant to teach us the nature of God.

Job 9:16 reads:

"I could not believe that He would listen to me."

Through the years, 

God has shown me He is listening.

In BIG things and small things, He is listening.

When I needed a new car, when I needed 

money to finish our house, He answered.

When I wanted to stop breastfeeding

because it was AWFULLY painful

(unlike the peaceful magazine pictures!!!),

and my husband insisted I breastfeed,

I asked God 

(who is OVER my husband's authority!)

"God, may I stop breastfeeding?"

I was listening to this radio station

at the time,

and the announcer said:

"Do not quit, God does not like quitters!"

I was sooo surprised at the quick answer,

and so of course I continued.

God listens, 

and if we linger long enough to listen,

He will speak!

This is one of my recent projects-

Christmas glitters from

plastic water bottles.

Lots of things you can make for the tree!

See my other blog, papemelroti,

for some recycled projects.

Every week I choose one wonderful

visitor who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

(I know how much time and effort

it takes to leave a comment!

I love to visit but sometimes,

it is such a pain to leave a comment

because of all the word verification

and different passwords, etc.)

This week Random Generator

chose #51, Jo Ann of

J. Atterbury Creations.

She creates lots of wonderful cards

with Bible verses and positive sentiments.

Joining the lovely Julia for a 

peek at desks and projects!
