Let there be light -yesterday was full of miracles! Georgia... On my mind
Yesterday my day started with miracles! First, I woke up at 3:06 and craved a blueberry scone, I never eat in the middle of the night. Needless to say, it was tasty and cured the craving but I couldn't fall back to sleep so I lay there pondering and waiting for the everyone to wake up. At 6 I turned on my computer & see I had an e mail from someone I had been thinking about just hours before. I went back to bed, I was sore actually... I kicked the ball wrong (in flip-flops) & broke my baby toe, black & blue and hurt every time I moved under the blanket, I guess it's why I couldn't sleep. A danger that comes with the job -lol, it will heal. Everyone up, I still lay there which I don't normally do & then... "it appeared".
The painting (above) I did a while ago hangs in my bedroom close to the ceiling, far from the window. I witnessed something I've never seen. Suddenly, my painting started to glow, as if a flash light beam was on it! The painted sky became bright - I was amazed. I thought I was seeing things but I watched and it just got brighter! A light danced on the ceiling too, I looked over at the window and the sun was no where to be seen - if it was it would have shone on the floor, not on the ceiling, on the opposite side of the room. Luckily, I thought to grab my camera because I knew no-one would believe me and filmed, then it started to slowly fade. The photos are stills I took from the video. It was hi-lighting a tiny deer I forgot was there, you can only see if you are up close! Lighting it's path so lovely. I'm tempted to go back and paint it (like above). I watched stunned, as it glowed so bright. Theres no glass on the painting, it's canvas, there is no glass anywhere near to cause the light on the ceiling either - it looked as though it was coming from the painting. Anyhow, the thought that came immediately to my mind was: The meek shall inherit the earth.
Then the light faded and I watched a while longer but it was gone.
Needless to say, I was excited to paint I jumped out of bed... as I carried my drawing paper outside with my coffee in the other hand, a golden dragonfly - as if covered in fine gold glitter landed on my finger holding my cup! I was again amazed and just stood there... it stayed a moment, long enough for me to wish it "Good Morning!" & admire the golden sparkle -then flew off. I couldn't stop smiling. & I painted a new smiling bear titled:
Jesus! How sweet it is to be loved by you. (next post)
I thought I'd share because it was "super cool, the timing... everything. I don't care who believes, it doesn't matter, there are some who never believe. I expect miracles! Everyday we wake up - is a miracle! Every flower, bug, bee, tree... all miracles of God. You reading this - are indeed a miracle! Interesting enough, I had thought of giving this painting away a few days ago. I'm going to keep it - exactly where it is and every time I look I'm now reminded of that tiny deer in the trees - with it's path lit... all paths lead to him.
Below is todays bear I was going to share. Happy as can be with a butterfly wishing him a hello, I painted him the day before -experimenting with a blue forest. A photo of Ginger & I enjoying the sunshine was snapped -she makes me laugh!
After the rain last night my hands are sore, while they loosen up I'll starting this grey, overcast day with some Bugs Bunny, I have a new DVD - 'The Golden Carrot collection' with lots of bonus material... as I consider my next painting.
Have a creative day - EXPECT miracles.
