Longing

   One of my grandmas was raised on a ranch in Wyoming. She was taught to work hard and live smart, and she absolutely has. As a child she saved her pennies and bought herself a huge, beautiful piano from a preacher's wife. It's a full sized upright, with magnificent carvings, a beautiful stain, and the richest sound I've heard. This piano traveled the states to rest in my childhood home. I spent many, many hours pouring my heart into the keys as a child and into my twenties. I loved to take the front panels off, and let the vibrations of the strings surround me as I played. It felt like swimming in music. I wrote my first melodies sitting on that little swivel stool. When my beloved and I got married, we moved into a tiny, adorable little house. It was freshly remodeled and sitting behind a white picket fence on a corner lot, and we were very happy!

Art & Musings

Will I  allow the Lord to work slowly? Do I really believe He cares more for me than the lilies of the field, and will not forget a single care of my heart? When I wait, do I wait in fear? Do I fill gaps, or allow Him? There must be longevity to prove He is faithful. Times of contrast reveal He is good. In the open space He crafts tapestries deeper than my imagination. His slow, steady works are filled with grace, transformation, and more grace. I need grace. I need transformation. I want a life filled with His faithfulness, I want to be neck-deep in His goodness. I want to be weaved in His tapestry. The bending and twisting of each color and texture is the art and beauty expressed by the Artist. I want to learn to see bending and twisting as a holy tapestry. I want to be His art, part of His masterpiece.
