Waiting

Could anything be more endearing?!

I took this picture last summer in the McDonald's parking lot.  Evidently the owner of this truck was inside enjoying some fries, while the faithful hound was waiting.  Patiently.  Waiting.  Looking out one window.  And then another.  Back to the first window.  Waiting.

It just struck me that I am called to wait, as well!  It's this delightful and angst-filled thing...this longing...And God instructs me to watch and wait.  Jesus WILL come.

Playing Around

So today, while I was waiting for some paint to dry, I decided NOT to live the cliche!  I was NOT going to give in to boredom!  So I got out another canvas and decided to play around.  And this was the result!  I love, love, love it!  Who knew a painting doesn't need a ton of planning, and preliminary sketches, and another photo shoot, and more sketches, and then some color sketches .... JUST PAINT ALREADY!!
