Amen! O men, can I find a place within to live...
I just found something that I painted years ago. It's a beautiful painting I think. I'm sure it is more beautiful through my eyes because I gloss over its inadequacies with my ideal of how I wish it would look. It's the the picture of the back of a girl...just her shoulders and her hair in a pony-tail tied up with a white ribbon. Her shoulders are bare. Everything is painted in different shades of a misty, grey blue or a DARK DARK almost black blue. Only the ribbon is pure white and presents a stark contrast to the dark hair and the delicate line of her jaw. It's very enchanting.
My feet are really looking "dancerly" right now. Eeww....I have three dime sized open blisters on my toes from my point shoes, a cracked toenail, and one of my toes is starting to bend over the one beside it. AHHH!!! My poor, precious, pretty, petite, peds! Oh how I shall mourn thy loss of beauty -- but yea, how I shall laud thy accomplished grace earned so painstakingly. Low -- how much more beautiful is beauty at the price of pain?.......and so on and so worth.
"Wonderful, merciful savior. Precious redeemer and friend.
Who would have thought that a lamb could rescue the souls of men
Oh you rescue the souls of men.
Counselor, comforter keeper. Spirit we long to embrace.
You offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost our way,
Oh we've hopelessly lost our way.
You are the one that we praise.
You are the one we adore.
You give the healing and grace our
Hearts always hunger for
Oh our heart always hunger for.
Almighty, infinite Father. Faithfully loving you own.
Here in our weakness you find us falling before your throne.
Oh we're falling before your throne."
