WOYWW: Let it Be Done!

 Last week I joined an art fair, Art in the Park,

and I started painting at the fair.

So that was my work desk for the day!

My friend Kora took this picture of me.

Lots of people asked me what medium I used

and watched as I painted my flowers.

It was a great experience talking to 

many who were interested in my art.

I sold a lot of paintings and art prints! Yey!

The morning after the art fair, my family and I flew to Puerto Princesa.

Such a beautiful place in the Philippines.

We took a boat and toured around the little islands of limestone rock.

It was fascinating to see the corals and fish in the sea.

I even caught a glimpse of a stone fish!!

We went kayaking in a small and big lagoon.

We even explored a cave!

We glimpsed an Imperial Pigeon, 

lots of interestingly colored jelly fishes,

and schools of fishes.

And look at the feast prepared for us by the boat's crew!!!

Yup! This is how we felt every day!!!

(Thank you Elyse for this picture!)

This is what I was painting in the airport the morning we left.

 "I am the maidservant of the Lord." Luke 1:38

Maidservant. Handmaid. How many of us think of ourselves as servants of God? Most of us invariably act as if God is our servant. We always ask Him to do this and that for us, whether it be small things like finding a lost possession, stopping the rain so we can proceed with our holiday, or bigger requests like finding a good job.

My whole family, including my 90 year old dad, are on our way to Puerto Princesa this morning. When we travel, my intercessory list is long. I don't think God minds that at all. But wouldn't it be better, much better, if we said like Mary, "Let it be done to me just as You say!" That even before we travel, even before we accept a job offer, even before we choose to embark on a project, we take some time to ask God if this is His plan too!
