~~Something I believe with all my heart is that God is a personal God. He isn't some untouchable being "way out there." He's here, near us, wanting to speak and guide us through our days. I'm learning that if I truly train myself to listen, I can see threads throughout my day; little strands all connecting. Some might call them coincidence but I choose to see it as synchronicity. God speaking.
~~Recently I've been picking up on the words "passion" and "enthusiasm." This morning I was reading an excerpt from a book by Jack White. He's an artist and an amazingly wise man. (I've read his first book.) He was saying that the one ingredient you must have to make it as an artist is passion. The chapter I'm on in The Artist's Way right now is speaking about enthusiasm. Julia Cameron says "Enthusiasm is not an emotional state. It's a spiritual commitment, a loving surrender to our creative process." In the car today, the song said, "Whatever happened to a passion I could live for? What became of the flame that made me feel more?"
~~Hmmm. Passion. Enthusiasm. Am I living my life with passion? Am I enthusiastic about my life?
~~And speaking of passion...I just have to say how much I love this guy. I truly believe that he is a blessing from God just for me.
He was talking to me today about my art and he had such a sparkle in his eyes and a big grin. His enthusiasm floors me. He believes in me more than I could ever believe in myself. Thank you Baby. :)

Aww, cute family! :)
I'm trying to figure out your exciting thing but I'm failing! :( I need to pull out my Artists Way and start morning pages again. I've got a new journal and it is itching to be used!
Thanks Misti!
Okay, another hint: It has to do with numbers. (and it's probably not exciting to anyone else but me,lol!)
