A bit more color today as I prepare my thoughts for the Fourth of July... an American celebration surrounding the birth of our nation with Independence Day.

Terry has my dad's flags ready to line the sidewalks. I am so proud to carry on his tradition in our neighborhood. We have always put out our big flag, but this will be our first year to use Dad's flags. Lady L will be over later to help her Bampa put out the flags for tomorrow.

For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth. Ephesians 5:9

Choices. Are they good or bad? Change. Is it good or bad?

Change is inevitable. Choice is inevitable. Weighing pros and cons to make choices is one avenue to making a decision and the second way is to make a decision with your heart. I find myself bouncing between the choice of lists and using my heart. I have to say most of the time my heart leads with the Spirit of God guiding me. I believe my core values are instilled in me through all my life experiences and those affect my heart decisions as well.

This horse painting is small but packed through with heart choices on both color and approach to the canvas. My addiction is color but in painting for me that is a positive.

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5: 1-2

Summer heat is cranking up and we wake just before dawn about 5:30 to begin our watering routine. The garden is watered every morning and sometimes around dusk depending on the heat of the day. The Strawberries are delicious..the carrots are sweet, the green beans are more than we can eat... Terry planted them every other week, so we should have those for months ahead. I even have one lettuce that made the heat, and with it tomatoes, bell peppers, squash and zucchini.

Changes for the fall will be higher beds to grow in but other than that we are having fun eating from the garden.

I have spoken with several other artists out there that are battling change with me. Our studios have moved and changed and we are struggling to get back into the 'grove' of feeling comfortable painting in the new area. For me it is all the daily chores and responsibilities that seem to come first and I have to adjust my priorities. GOD has to be first and then closer to the top of the list will be my art.

We use to sail in the summer. We have not in a few years. I miss the gentle lull on the water and the moments of adrenalin rush when the wind picks up and the sails fill and the boat skims across the top of the water. While we have some control, most of it is the wind, God's breath upon us. We have to navigate the waters with the winds provided and many times we are caught in the 'still' of no wind on a solid surface of water...just waiting, waiting for the change and the wind to pick up.

Perhaps not having the studio 'right' is being in the still water... I should be resting and centering on God right now and know in my heart that the wind will fill my sails soon.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. Ephesians 5:8
