Alarm clock bird

Did God send you? You alarm clock bird

He’s calling me to meet Him in the mornings again..

It’s been a pattern a song in the head or one out the window..

Yours wasn’t particularly a pleasant hymn more of an alert 🚨

get up get up get up get up get up

Squeaking and squealing as if your little feathered life depended upon it. You did a good job, I got up.

A date with the divine - what does that look like with melted makeup and a stiff neck?

Today a reminder to care for orphans and widows - who are they in my life?

I tell you the truth

/ I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise /

Luke 23:43

First signs of spring

We plant in fallen Faith

With knowing Hope in the divinity of science

Which in due season will produce the delicate blooms and reminders that seasons change

So take a breath today

Plant in Faith, Watch for Hope, Embody Love

These thoughts came this morning after slowing down and listening - Picking daffodils, listening to piano music, listening to Bema podcast, reading ethics book, sketching and painting in the studio.

Lazy Parts

/ Lazy Parts /

6 - 6x8” pieces/parts

Inspired by IFS session (Internal Family Systems Therapy) yesterday.

Parts were acknowledged and given some light rays to shine. They felt heard and wanted to play today. Deep rest, nature, healing. ❤️‍🩹

Beginnings

Beginnings can be exciting and best (jump in), middles can be murky and unknown (time to trust the process), ends can be solid and satisfying (job well done).

Here’s to the beginning of a 16”x16” diptych

Keepsake by Kandyce King

shadows imbue

her wild eyes

her brown hair

don’t underestimate

divinely determined

scampering

strong steps

her fired up soul

her bare soft feet

her galaxy mind

terrified firsts

chilled glassy gravel

90 laps ought to do

resolved

for you

for sentience

for Mason

for Grace

do you not

understand

many souls

live this

existence

every night

she managed 3

a piece embedded

in her heel

a companion on lap 1

a keepsake for

her heart and soul

Fringe

sprains to the brain

shattered parts of the heart

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the fringe.

The Wonderful Counselor

a former Christian shunned for her teenage pregnancy.

Jesus in her, Jesus with her still.

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from women warriors.

the angels who believe that She/He intercedes for their children.

Holy Spirit prompting them, Holy Spirit in us.

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the least of these

The joy in their eyes as colors come alive.

Jesus crying for them, Jesus protecting them, Jesus with them.

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, God with us - everyone of us.

Onlookers with questions, look up, look in, fix your eyes, anchor your soul, walk in the Way, get in the dirt - theology with skin, touches the leper.
