Sunday 11th September 2016
Today as its Sunday I went to church. As I have said before I have gone to church since I was a child.
When I was younger I use to sit in the meeting, after my Dad would ask me what was said. I could never remember.
About 5 years ago I started to draw what I heard and ever since that day I have been able to retain the information. I can now look back at my pictures and I can tell you who spoke and what they spoke about.
I now do a Facebook page called ‘The WORD’ in pictures and a few people from church follow me. The pictures though are very rough because they are drawn in a relative short space of time. I get a lot out of them.
Today was no different I still drew my picture. We on occasions do a series where the theme is the same for many weeks. The theme at the minute is called ‘Stretching without snapping’
We are only 2 weeks in but I have to say it is speaking to me right where I am at. I feel this year that I have been stretched and stretched and I am surprised that I haven’t snapped yet.
It is amazing what a little willpower and determination can do. It has definitely stopped me from snapping.
The whole series is about Isaiah 54, in verse 1 it says how the Barron woman should sing. Sing through the trials and sing through the hard times.
I am not a very good singer however I do like to sing at church. I am very loud and off key. I unfortunately,to all those near me have one of those voices that carries. My Son turned to me once and said “Mum I think you have sang enough”. I don’t care I like to sing.
To sing though in the hard times is not as easy and I have had some really hard times this year. I have a whole load of issues that I am gradually working through. As far as I can see I am still singing on through. I hope it continues.
