sing(ing)

T.J. Max is having their semi-annual 60% off all wall art.  I will, Lord willing, be moving into an apartment in August, so I felt like I was in a candy shop.  I wanted EVERYTHING (but, I didn't buy any wall art).  I saw items that gave me ideas for DIY crafts and color schemes for my bedroom and common areas.

This piece made me excited about the possibilities of that home. My home will be a haven for myself, my roommate, and our community. This piece defines a part of me. Sing. Gosh, my love for creating music with my voice has grown deeper and more profound because of #5.  "To tell about or PRAISE someone or something in verse or songs.  He sang of the artist's talents."  I love the italicized sentence. My role on earth is to sing of the Artist's talents. "We were meant to meet our Maker." I believe this, and I can do this in song, melody, and voice lifted.

So, thank you T.J. Max for the reminder of the possibilities of my HOME and PURPOSE.

Come August, you are welcome to sing with me in my new home. Let's sing of the Artist's talents.

bam.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Marianne Williamson
