O love that will not let me go

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

1. O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

2. O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

I want to share a new passion, an inspiration for my art, a true blessing to my heart- Old hymns set to new music. Words of depth and stunning truth set to beautiful music by such talented artists. Michael Card, Matthew Smith and others of Indelible Grace,the artists of Sovereign Grace and Red Mountain Music are my favorites.

Praying for Ron and Joanna

I have been thinking about and praying for Joanna, an art friend, mentor, and her beloved husband, Ron. Ron underwent surgery on a brain tumor yesterday. Please pray with me for Ron and Joanna- FOR HEALING for Ron, and for REST, STRENGTH, and PEACE for both of them. God bless you Joannna! Love, Heather

You too can follow Ron's progress on Joanna's mosshill blog http://mosshill.blogs.com/

I had fun today- playing with my altered art "toys".

Pretty toys . .my favorite doll, some fairies, elves, a ballerina, a birdie, and sparkly things...

No work today, no errands, no schedule....snow, snow, snow and family and time...

God is good. Rest is good. Thank you God.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

The chorus of this beautiful song is my new mantra! God bless you Amy Grant for putting into words- into beautiful words- what so many of us busy mamas are feeling!

I am making winter fairy jars! I will sell them in my etsy store if anyone is interested. Also, for anyone local I will take some up to the gift shop at Auburn mall. This is sooooo much fun!! I am kind of hoping that I get called out of work due to weather in the morning so I can spend the time on making more jars! Let it snow...let it snow....let it snow!!

Home

I just want to stay home. I want to be there for my little ones anytime they need a hug, to snuggle, to cry, to show me the most beautiful picture they just drew. I want to be there. I want to be there for my older kiddos, for meal time chats, for midday walks, to tuck them in before they are too old to be tucked in anymore! I won't even mind if sometimes they take me for granted for always being there. I want to spend the day up to my elbows in dishes and up to my knees in laundry. I want to have the chance to do it again- to be the stay at home mom I was- only better. I want to help, encourage and support my dear husband in his goals and dreams. I want cook the meals with my daughters. I want to color with my little ones. I want to play board games (maybe even computer games?!) with my 13 year old. Yes I know I can squeeze the time in to do those things now, but it is not the same as staying at home and doing them, its just not.
I am not complaining, I am not looking down at other moms who work happily outside of the home. I just wanted to share my hearts desires because this is me, it is what I think about and dream about all the time.
