Another year, another treasure trove

I feel like little Mary in her garden looking at the lush growth around her. Summer is in rich splendor at her feet and she is surveying all that lies before her.
For the first time in my own life, I sense that the work of my hands is good. God is in control and is leading me into fresh territory. He has already laid up treasures in the storehouse of my inner man which are ready to be drawn out. I am trusting nubs of ideas in the understanding that they are the culmination of previous experiences folded into the batter of much time spent learning about the One who created me. Life is layered - not fragmented - when we know the One Who is truly in control. In 2007 I am focusing on honing my writing and art skills by hoeing, watering and studying over this garden daily.
