doodling

“The creative process fills the project

with little pieces of your heart, your soul and your mind.

It’s a reflection of the workings of God in you from the inside out.”

– Mindy J Kaleta

books

“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
― Mark Twain

– Alexandra Stoddard

doodling

I’ve just recently been yearning to learn how to draw stick people,

something simple and easy that portrays an emotion.

Then I add my words to it to touch the places in one’s heart.”

– Mindy J Kaleta

journaling

“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”

– Anne Frank

“If there’s a book that you want to read,

but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
― Toni Morrison

“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude,

then animals are better off than a lot of humans.”―James Herriot

home

“The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”
― Maya Angelou, All God’s Children Need Traveling Shoes

doodling

“Do you have hands? Excellent. That’s a good start. Can you hold a pencil? Great.

If you have a sketchbook, open it and start by making a line, a mark, wherever. Doodle. – Chris Riddell

Simple Faith and Trust

I don't know about you, but when God strips away things I think I have control over, more times than not He places me in a season of isolation. He does this to create a place of solitude where I can easily hear His voice without the distractions of others and the things of life. If you're in a season like this, settle in, enjoy and He will guide you into simple faith, trust and a right relationship with Him and His will for you.
