Old, New, Borrowed...not so blue.

Things change fast. Seems like when I am just figuring it out there is a switch-a-roo. Part of the plan? For sure. Keeping me on my toes, testing my faith and calling my heart's desires to be refined and sharpened. 

What's next? Not so sure but there is for sure a next. In the mean time I'm doing stuff, things old, new, borrowed and not being blue.

Not much cheers me up like spending time with fam and friends in the valley. I did a bad job of taking pictures during my trip home but I did get a few shots of something new...

Yeah, that's right my first experience with Mongolian BBQ. It was great, complete with tofu (although I'm still fighting my bitterness against the BBQer who dropped most of my tofu on floor while he was cooking it.) Thanks Madre & Padre, you guys are my favorite!

Then, something old. When I came back to Mac I brought with me all my design school stuff. It's been too long school supplies. I love you colored pencils, rolls of tracing paper, strange rulers and big pink erasers. And my very favorite, my collection of Prismacolor markers, a color expert's dream. I'm loving getting back into the habit of lettering with my old sketch book and the sweet watercolor combos.

Which brings up to something borrowed. Here's where I admit that I'm back to my old ways of reading 12 things at once. Let's be honest, being focused on one book is not me at all. So, I've got a few things going, but I'm ready to devour (I say devour because I think it's going to take that type of attitude), John Steinbeck's East of Eden borrowed from Matt. Wish me luck!

See? There's no time for blue! But there's always time for coffee...brew it up!

Cheers!

What I know lately...

My "best" is small in comparison to His reality.

My life is far more than what I can see now.

Searching for hope doesn't always mean feeling hopeless, sometimes it's just being patient.

Calm can come just as quickly as the storm.
