a new year

Jan. 09' Blog.
I made a resolution for the new year to blog more often. I find myself reluctant to do this. I think it's the awareness of how available to all, anything on the Internet is.
I think, what if people don't like what I write. What if they see misspellings or grammatical errors. This idea of judgment makes me cowardly. Since I know that I should only care about pleasing Him who provided himself a way for me to not be judged. And perfection is not available this side of heaven, I'll move forward.
I met someone new recently. This is one of my favorite things. A young mother and her baby came to talk about illustrating children's books. I enjoyed hearing about her life and sharing, what I hope was, useful information to encourage her. I would love them to come and visit again another day.
I am working on editorial changes for the children's fantasies fiction novel I have been writing over the last four years. It is exciting as the work comes so close to actually being in print.

Mind and Spirit
Walking in and out
under the shadow of His wings
Awareness of this cover
so hard to hold
His hand slipping into the puddle
of how I feel
My day
my way
distracting me from awareness
of who I will become
As face to face
my eyes open
Seeing all surroundings
more than comprehension allows
one dimensionally
Music draws me in
Love's melody
reminding me
of what the open door
reveals
Using imagination
picturing promises
fulfilled already
in the reality of God.
