Praise- Day 19

Praise God that He’s our Perfect Father

I know many of us have come from families that maybe weren’t the greatest examples for us to learn good parenting from. We are human and we can really fall short. I’m sure that’s why many of us might have a skewed understanding of God as a Father. 

I had a friend that told me once that even though He grew up with a poor example of a Father He felt the Lord tell him that He had the opportunity to shape his own role as a father not off his earthly father but after the best role model- the Perfect Father- God himself.  Imagine if we all did that and were able to receive the perfect and overwhelming love He offers. 

Today  as I look at my own children- I think about the fierce love I have for them- and I am thankful that He loves me more than I can even imagine- that He is my number one supporter and encourager and that He delights in me. 

Zephaniah 3:17 says
 The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
