Water is one of the hardest things for me to keep up with. I can’t live without it, so I am finding ways to make it work for me. What are the truths you can’t live without?

Do you see an overgrown mess or creation breaking through? Some see beauty while others see a mess. It is all about perspective.

One of the things I learned about snow is that it is illuminating. It reflects light. This week be a light where you are.

Snow cover things and makes them look beautiful. It reminds me of salvation. It covers everything wrong and makes things look beautiful. But salvation in Christ Jesus really does make things beautiful. Jesus makes us perfect.

The rocks can be a stumbling block or a pathway to a new place, it is always about your perspective.

I love this view from the middle of the Trinity River in Fort Worth, Texas. This month will examine the things I love to look at.

Show appreciation for others this week. As you begin a new year, start with a dose of gratefulness.

I have spent the last couple of weeks drawing. I have done over 30 images of women who inspire me by the way they live their lives. They have supported me in all sorts of ways. Drawing all of them has been hard. I have literally worked until I couldn’t look at a computer screen. My eyes grew cloudy and burned continuously late into the night. I have learned how to handle new details of how to make each drawing better. As I learned new things, I had to resist the urge to go back and do it to the drawings I had already completed.
I have written stories about how these women’s lives have pushed me on. It is such a blessing to live in a community where there is good life. You are surrounded by good life, just step outside yourself and see.
This woman here is good at everything she does. She dances. She draws. She helps others. She loves her family. I love watching her life because when it is all said and done, life will be broke and she will be rich. She is using it all.
