May we see the painting?



You have rightly pointed out that we may not be able to bear another's troubles. It's a struggle for me, moving from one day to another. Sometimes I am so happy that I sing and dance and some other times I am very upset and bitter. This has been my story for the last so many years.



I may not have gone through Job's sufferings. Or Christ's sufferings. But to me, my cross is big enough and my problems are big enough, isn't it? That is why I tend to wallow in this pit. I guess I need to get out of this state swinging back and forth.

Btw, I am a brother and not a sister.

And so maybe each one having their own is special for them and not anyone else

Sure I had posted it in a less popular thread the other night, but here goes...

This is beautiful! I think it shows how your life can sometimes be dull (black and white) and sometimes colourful. But you need both sides to complete the picture. But no matter which phase you are in, you will have those tiny bulbs (?) giving you hope.

Sorry Brother, so I am reminded I am human a non perfect person, thank you, yet from God's perspective is there male and female? Forget sometimes I am put back here on earth, been dead, died on the operating table a few times, was resuscitated each time
And so have you said to God with all these troubles thank you for believing in you back? How much travail did Paul go through? And what was his reply to all troubles? Contentment? James as well saw this you think, and Peter, John, Noah, Abraham all stood in Faith and by the Faith did as God asked, by trusting God alone you think?
And no one is specialer than another, no respect of persons from God you think, I am thankful to Father for this, I am not better than anyone else

Me neither. It is a humbling experience. I am only special in God's eyes because I am unique in His eyes. If I thought that everyone was special on earth that would be a meaningless, ordinary sentiment as it would apply to everyone.

Sometimes, I wish I were more trusting. Other times, I wish I weren't put in situations where I HAVE to trust people.

I was working on my computer , the modem, something was wrong with the modem. My husband helped me, oops forgot to pay Verizon. O there ya go.

Big canvases can be intimidating, huh? But SO FUN!! This one was 48"x36". I painted over it three times (frustrating numerous people with my perfectionist tendencies) before settling on a Louisiana theme to appease my small amount of cajun blood.

Angie, painting is so cool! I like how you offset the fleur de lis - gives it a real contemporary feel. My crazy french grandmother was born in Louisiana, then raised in France. Your painting reminds me of my mom's side of the family. Kudos on the good work!

Congrats. And I wonder how many times you're going to have to explain that, that avatar pic isn't your reaction to him asking the question.

Thank you and yes, I've already had people say they thought my avatar was an engagement photo haha

where did the expression lovey dovey come from? Are doves known for being particularly romantic creatures? Is it because people in love tend to coo (or be cuckoo)?

I think it's probably because doves mate for life and always appear to be very much "in love", cooing to and even kissing each other.

Well, it's called kissing, but they're actually puking into each other's mouths.

More importantly, while searching for a zombie picture I discovered there is a plants vs zombies 2 game. I think I know what I want for my birthday now.

I LOVE PVZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm rather fond of the bucket head zombie. It reminds me of Joe Biden.

When life hands you a lemon, question where life got its hands from!!!

Gypsygirl, MissCris, and Catherder: thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. This afternoon was very stressful but I tried my best to plow my way through it. When the evening came, things got better, though my mom did still put a bit of a damper on it, but none of that matters now.

I am officially a future Mrs.

YAAAAAYYYY!!!!! If I could, I'd hug you!!

No it took me seven years or work to pay off the bill that taught me those big words.

I don't remember seeing that. Looks like that's above a fireplace. Was there a fireplace in your living room? I don't remember there being a fireplace there.

There is a fireplace in my livingroom, but this painting wasn't mounted above it. The painting was made to go over the mantle in my old home, where the photo was taken. It is now hanging in my bedroom in the current house.

Congratulations!! So happy for you!! I'm glad you survived the stressful day.

I met a girl yesterday, it was fun.

That's great! Feel free to share.
