Yesterday morning I was all set to do a post but Windows decided to do a major update that took up all the time I had. It was extremely frustrating but God knew I would need to do one this morning even more than yesterday. Today is the first part of the nuclear stress test so my morning coffee is taboo. By blogging I can hopefully ignore the caffeine cravings. (Smile.)
It also ties in with this drawing.
I tried to capture the idea of a tapestry of life. The hearts on the top represent the generations of people who have gone before us as well as our own lives. The books represent our stories. The clocks are the passage of time but also stand for divine appointments. The various drawing tools are God's.
The central image was my attempt to touch on everything in the universe from the wonders of the natural world to the evolution of human society. Science, medicine, art, music, invention and exploration are a small part of this world.
The beauty of this idea has filled me with peace.
What surprised me was after I drew the cross, I was inspired to set it on a pedestal representing the Jewish Law. It ties in with the entire idea of this tapestry, that all things converge so that we may live out God's plans for us.
Aside from the drawing, I've been thinking about all that had to happen for me to be sitting here this morning, typing away. All the past choices, all the lives that have intersected my own have led me to be right here, right now. Even lives that have long since faded from memory are part of this moment! It's mind blowing, isn't it?
But I also find it comforting to know that despite my choices, God has me covered. He's had me covered since before the dawn of time. It's why I didn't blog yesterday, right?
So when a convergence of coincidences happen, when a storm of difficulty roars in, when sudden changes manifest themselves, when someone comes to mind, it's all God. He has a plan.
(Smile.) Now if only I could learn to absolutely trust that plan!
