Time for Renewal! Work in Progress...

I'm re-evaluating, I cleaning house, I'm moving some things around because I need to change my focus. I will be spending less time dropping EC's. Since the big change in the EntreCard community, things have slowed down to a snail's pace and I simply cannot take the time anymore. I have enjoyed being in the top spot in the art category for quite a few months now. However, it seems that I am doing less art, less photography and less jewelry making. I am already working on some new art projects! I will be keeping up with my blog because I love blogging. Spring is in the air, and it's time to plant new seeds, so that's what I'm doing. I'll keep you posted as they say!

This drawing is a 'work in progress'. I have drawn a series of 3 Victorian doorknobs. I penciled in all three very, very gently, but it's time to bring them to life! They are all so different, with amazing detail, and what I love most about them is that they are over 100 years old!! Like living in a Victorian house, often the thought, 'if only these walls could speak', applies to these brass doorknobs as well!

He is Risen!

'Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, 'They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put Him!'

'Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated, where Jesus body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, 'Woman, why are you crying?' 'They have taken my Lord away,' she said, 'and I don't know where they have put Him.' At this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. 'Woman,' he said, 'why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?' Thinking he was the gardener, she said, 'Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will get him.' Jesus said to her 'Mary.' She turned to him and cried out in Hebrew, 'Rabboni!' (which means Teacher). Jesus said, 'Do not hold onto me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: 'I have seen the Lord!' And she told them that He had said these things to her.'

Words for Wednesday

'Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided. And the sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them, on the right hand and on their left.'

Exodus 14:21, 22
