“I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.”

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Matthew 11:28-30

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”

Robert Frost

About Me

Karen
Texas, United States
I am a mom of four kids, now ages 26, 32, 36 and 39. I have four grandchildren and am called Grammy these days. So God has walked with me and taught me since these days . . .of finding myself, even after many years, unexpectedly living my life as a (struggling at times) single mom and at the same time, living in the peace of knowing I am where God wants me to be. I love photography, capturing that perfect moment. I love the written word, both reading and writing. It is my hope that sharing how God restores me will somehow be a blessing for someone else.

The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?

Proverbs 20:24
I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Psalms 121:1-2
"We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."

Winston Churchill
"The reproduction of the life of Christ on the canvas of everyday life is the finest of the fine arts."

R.T. Williams
“It is the artist who realizes that there is a supreme force above him and works gladly away as a small apprentice under God's heaven.”

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
