Beautiful In It's Time ~ Prairie Song

He has made 

everything

 beautiful 

in it's time.

Also, He has put eternity in their hearts

except that no one can find out

the work that God does

from beginning to end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

I don't know how He does it.

I don't know what His time frame is.

But I have faith.

Even though I cannot completely see it.

I believe that He is good.

Because of the little glimpses I have seen.

And when things test and try my faith,

that is the belief that gets me through,

that in the end, it will be ok,

and if it's not ok, it's not the end.

And that not only will it be ok,

it will

actually

be

beautiful.

When the beauty 

is real and vibrant and visible,

I look for it.

I find it.

And I do my best to remember it.

In

words,

photos,

art.

My girls were my set up crew today.

Getting ready for a day

of seeking

and finding

and remembering

and honoring

and having gratitude

for

everyday beauty

in real life

on the prairie.

Finding beauty in everyday.

*

Becoming fascinated with the ordinary.

*

Having gratitude for the here and now.

*

100 years goes faster than you think . . . Don't blink.

All of those things

do not always come easy.

They are a challenge.

A challenge I give myself, remind myself,

to live out.

It has made a difference.

Finding . . .

Beauty in everyday life.

Finding . . .

Beauty in God.

Finding . . . 

Beauty in who he made me to be.

(Dare I say that? Dare I believe it?)

True beauty.

Deep in the heart.

Every good and perfect gift comes from above ~ 

it says in the book of James.

Do I see the gifts?

Or do I walk right on by and never notice?

Seeing them

has given me abundance

right here,

right now

Do I have beauty to offer?

Do you?

Yes indeed.  I believe every woman has a unique beauty to give

that is hers and hers alone that was meant to be shared,

that was given to her by an intentional God in love and truth.

Our little White Owl Community Hall is all set up

artsy and pretty and beautiful

for a day with beautiful women

on the beautiful prairie

given and created by a

beautiful God.

Looking forward to taking a leap of faith

sharing my first art and photo and faith retreat!

Tomorrow is the day!
