a blank canvas

this is my first blog and i have to admit its a bit intimidating. its like staring at a blank canvas or empty page in a sketchbook: open, with endless possibilities. so there you are: thoughts racing, trying to grab one to take hold of for a brief moment, to express something deep within you.

maybe i'm reading too much into this. maybe it is just simply putting ones brush to the canvas or pencil to the paper or even fingers to the keys and letting go, being yourself, and resting in the acceptance that has already been given: the approval of Him who is infinitely in love with me.

being yourself in Him, now there's a thought. learning to rest in His righteousness, in His joy, in His delight, His salvation, His work, and His love. for this life is a journey, a work in progress, a gesture sketch of what is to come and with an amazing expectation and joy He is working out His purposes in us. its time for me to enjoy the process.
