Beauty For Ashes

Seven amazing or interesting facts about myself:

1. I would love to live in a different country.  India is on my mind a lot right now.
2.  Chocolate is not my favorite sweet. 
3.  My favorite drink is…..water
4. I have never watched The Wizard Of Oz.
5. My Mom and I made my curtains for our large sunroom out of paint drop clothes I bought at Costco.  They look pretty good, just don’t look closeley at the seems the drop cloth manufaturer’s put in.  My Mom’s seams are extremely straight.  The cost to buy already made curtains was going to be in the thousands of dollars.  I am thrilled that I spent a fraction of that doing with my mom’s help.
6.  I am learning that God made me an artist.  I love to do most every kind of art or craft you can think of.  Designing, photography, painting, drawing, graphic design, sewing, metal work, and I am musical too.  I play the piano and sing.  All of the creative and “artsy” things I do make me wonder at God’s incredible creativity and I feel closer to Him.  I love that about who I am but I am extremely disorganized and forgetfull.  My filing system is ROY G. BIV which I never knew I was wierd until my husband realized why my filing didn’t make any sense to him (he is my opposite)  It takes a lot of effort for me to organize something in a way that makes any sense.  I envy people who are organized and tidy.  I am in total awe of their skills.
7.  I am working very hard to be content with God’s help.  I am, by nature, content with nothing and a bit flighty.  It is a pleasure to feel content with what God has given me.  He is good.

Hope you have a great day and I’ll try to write more often.
