Praise Jesus & Chill... It's Sunday.. the day of rest & rejoicing. Frog & fox, resting amongst the fern.
I painted this just because, sat at my desk.. doodled and this is what showed up. I was a bit grumpy and forced myself to paint. I will add I was on psilocybin (a bit more than a microdose) and felt I was getting overly detailed with my fern, actually... I just needed to paint. My tiny fox vase is finished but I'm waiting for flowers, they look good together or alone.
Sunday one day to focus on the Lord.. actually everyday should be a day to focus on the Lord.. one day to rest with God, in Gods presence. It's a good day to read the word & reflect. I had a moment this past week, a 'what am I doing moment.. painting every day, so much art I even forget what I painted. I have art in binders -lots, art in bins, art in the basement. Original cartoons not looked at for years, art wrapped and stored, painting's I have no clue what they are. My inside is a gallery and I have art outside and in the forest. What am I doing, Lord!? I also had a few things on my mind & compounded with pain, I was angry and said to God: I'm not painting anymore! I give up. What am I doing!? I give up! Before I was even out of bed.. the day not looking too good. I prayed the Rosary (tearfully), got up, determined not to paint! I'll Pack up the studio and move on... then I checked my email.
I'm signed up for email from ACIM, one of my favourite books about Christ and living.. I hardly ever get email, not even once a month, I actually forget I signed up it's so infrequent, never routine but it was my first and only email that day & it said:
“Do not withhold your gifts to the Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God!”
!! That was it. I stared at it as if it was some joke.. how the heck? Did I say it out loud?
Some might say it's just coincidence. Think what you want but I know God speaks to us.. all the time.
It actually frightened me a bit - I don't want to upset God, clearly I had. lol I never thought of it like that.. I was not withholding from anyone but myself, in my mind.. I'm sorry Lord. Humbled, again.
Thank you for the paint, paper & time to create.. above all Thank you Jesus for your continued Love & inspiration what wills me to paint... all day every day.. It's o.k to have a moment, God does not want us to give up. Never. I have thought about that e mail several times a day.. every time I paint. Thank God.
Enjoy this day The Lord has made! Also don't forget...
