You Are My...

You are my Favourite work of art.
Period.

I fell in love with this saying, because we are such amazing creatures.
We are works of art created by God.
You and Me.

Know that,
You were created with a purpose.
You were created beautiful.
You are a work of art.

No matter what society says, no matter what the world thinks, no matter what we have made the outward standards of beauty- You my dear are beautiful, you my friend are a work of art, and you are so valuable.

Happy Monday,
Share the love,
M.



Psalm 139:13-16
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.


*Two versions available one American English, one British/Canadian English :) We spell it with a 'U' up here North of the wall.

Hope.

I love this verse and I wanted to share...
Don't ever give up... no matter the situation-
Hold onto Hope, it is an anchor for the soul.

Share the love,
M.

Shout Out!

I just want to take a minute and thank all of the bloggers who have shared, promoted and blogged about my work. I am so honoured that they choose to promote my art. If you haven't taken a look at my FEATURED ON! Page, please take a peek. There is an enormous list of blogs, webpages etc. that have featured my work.

I specifically want to thank a few today who have continually shown me love and support. I want you guys to wander over to their sites and check them out!

MeInLilaPark is a blog full of free patterns and printable created by Sandra. Sandra has been so encouraging as I started out blogging and creating, she is an inspiration to me about generosity and giving!

Little Gold Pixel is a blog full of design, freebies, parenting stuff, photography, music- basically it is chocked full of inspiration and fun that is the life of Vanessa. Vanessa is a LosAngeles based designer and writer, who ran across my work somewhere on the inter-web  and has been a continual inspiration and encouragement to me!

Hello Bee! is a community about trying to conceive, pregnancy, parenthood.  The blogs are written by real moms and moms to be, you can get great advice about everything and anything relating to parenting. Plus they have generously shared and promoted many of my prints that are for children and babies!

Fab'n FREE! is a blog full of free goodies, all rounded up by Carolynn, she rounds up random freebies plus loads of stuff she creates herself! It is a fountain of freebie awesomeness!

Just Busy With Life  a blog about life, kids, and everything in between that makes up a full and beautiful life!

Zen Shmen! a blog about home decor, living life, DIY and so much more!


As I work on my fundraising event for tomorrow, I am reminded of this over and over again -"No one has ever become poor by giving"- Anne Frank.

Throughout our fundraising (it's been over 365 days!) I really felt that we needed to stop and ask what the Orphanage needed- Even though our personal fundraising is not finished yet, we still have a ways to go- but I really felt we needed to look outside of ourselves and give. The Orphanage said they needed a diesel generator and a water pump, it will cost $2000- I immediately said yes, we will do that.

Then fear crept in, what have I done? We don't even have our finances full yet, oh no, am I going to have to put this on my credit card, shoot, how is this going to work?

Fear immobilizes, it steal, it freaks people out and it can paralyze you! Did I sit in fear for a little while, YES. Am I still freaked out, ya, a little, but do I know that it is possible? YES, do I believe that we will raise this $2000 YES. AM I PUMPED about our Fundraiser tomorrow night? YES. Do I have peace that all will work out. Yes, you want to know why? Because I am not in control. I am not the end all and be all- I am merely a vessel by which is funds will flow to those in need.

Duy and I are very excited, and at times totally overwhelmed and freaked out. But is God in Control? Yes.

So today I wanted to share about a few of the people who have shared my work. Did they know they were exposing hundreds if not thousands of people to this crazy Living Life On Purpose Uganda 2015 Journey we are on, probably not, but am I grateful for them, YES!

So take a minute and go to their blogs, show them the love that they have shown me, and then print off this print and remind yourself, that it is better to give than to receive... and you will never be able to out-give the blessings and promises that you have in and over your life!

Share the love,

M.

Rain.

I'm away from home on the other side of Canada in beautiful British Columbia, and it is incredible. There are flowers blooming and the temperature is well above freezing... it's a very different world than my Narnia like back yard at home. Who knew such a place existed North of the wall, up here in Canada.

One thing I will say though, is it takes rain to keep this place green and lush... and rain we have had. But I love the rain, it clears the head, cleanses the soul and makes everything smell lush. As a tribute to the rain.

As a tribute to the rain...

Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass... (everyday life brings complications, frustrations and difficult decisions and situations) it's about learning to dance in the rain (having a heart of gratitude, looking beyond the present situation at the big picture, stop looking in, start looking out)

I am daily learning to dance in the rain of my own life... there are so many people, along the way, who have helped me look beyond the current situations of my own life, believed in me, challenged me, and encouraged me, and are dancing in the rain right along with me...  Surround yourself with those people.... and Learn to dance in the rain!

Veni, Vidi, Vici, that VENTI!

Thank you Starbucks for selling BUCKETS of coffee and giving them clever names. Because honestly, when I order an extra-extra-extra large coffee, it makes me sound like a little piggy- But when I order a "Venti"- Oh no, I am a sophisticated, caffeine deficient professional late for what will most likely be a very boring meeting!

Happy Wednesday Day!
Share the love,
M.

Sunday. Like A Runaway Freight Train.

Sunday is coming like a runaway freight train. I've been asked to share about our Living Life On Purpose Journey 2015 with our church. I have 10 minutes. YAY! oh man, I'm kinda freaking out. I mean... What do I tell them?

Do I tell them everything? Do I tell them how this came about? how much detail do I give? Do I tell them to read my blog? do they know I have a blog? maybe I should tell them I have a blog. It's kinda an untapped group of people who know me and love me and support me... but do they really know me? Do you guys know more about me than some of the people at church? I hate to even say this, but yes.

Now of course the people at church know we desire to have babies, after you've been married for 13 years and there are no babies, people start to wonder and ask questions...  I know they pray for us, and hope with us... but I'm not sure they know the extent of our journey. Do I want to share that? Is it easier to share with you guys than it is with people who see my face weekly? In all honesty, yes.

and in the midst of my mini (because I have had much bigger) freak out, this is what I hear... "be still & know.... be still. Be still and know that I am God... just be still..."

Is this the moment He turns my mess into a message? Is this the moment that I step out? That I become ... alive? real? I've shared my heart one on one with people I know, I've shared face to face with people I fully trust, and I've shared with people whose hearts are also broken, or mending...  Maybe Sunday is the day things change. Maybe Sunday is the day my church family will really see my heart, truly unveiled for the first time... Maybe Sunday my mess of a message will help someone else's hurts... maybe... but until then I am going to try to live in these words... Be still and know that I am God.
Share the love,
M.
