I'm always inspired by people who have a quiet strength. They face tough problems and painful situations with grace. They choose to laugh when others would be bound up in bitterness. Truly, the "joy of the Lord is their strength" (Nehemiah 8:10)________________________________

I didn't have time for a drawing this week (I barely got this in before the next topic), but chose to do a little photo manipulation instead. Done in Corel PhotoPaint
p.s. So sorry I have not had time to provide comments to your fine artwork out there - but it has blessed me!
Hi Becky, your words have put me in a great mood and I am sure it will stay with me all day!
ReplyDeleteVery inspirational, as always...and the calm, strong face of the woman is a good matching image. I'm glad I am looking at this before another stressful day...I feel stronger already. Take care:>

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the inspiration. Wonderful way to end my week.
Excellent! How easily problems and stress distract us from seeing God's power. What a nice reminder of Who's in control!
ReplyDeleteThis would translate well into a framed inspirational piece.
I know people like that. They're very inspiring. My mother is one of them.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! Hope you don't mind but I've just "tagged" you to write 20 facts about yourself ^_^ I looked to see if you were tagged already but I didn't see that you were. Can't wait to read them! Bye!
