Tired

It is sometimes a trying time when you follow the quote of the day from Henry Ward Beecher. Im have recently found myself tested and pressed in ways that make one tired both physically and mentally. I will not get into the reasons but I will say that anyone who has gone through such trials and feels exhausted from lack of sleep and stress knows just how tired you can get. There are a myriad of little things going wrong or happening that should not happen that add up to a lot of stress. Add to that the world around us seems determined to self destruct. The saving grace that carries me through such times is knowing I am not alone. Our Lord is always at our side and leads the way. Psalm 23 is ever present in mind and body. That's right mind and BODY. When it seems the body is fatigued and wants to stop new strength is found and you move forward despite the fatigue. I thought about skipping the post this week but decided to make an effort and at least post something to give others hope and encouragement. I don't know about you but I am not one to give up and admit defeat under such circumstances.

This week I am posting another of the images from Moontear. I will resume posting a few of these images in the next week or two.

The Copic colors used are;

That is it for this week. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Always Love The Details."

  1. Thank you for not giving up and choosing to bless us with you post, Jim - there certainly are times when we are totally exhausted, spirit, soul and body, but God will always carry us through!

  2. I think we're all tired, weary, and stressed over the world we find ourselves living in, but putting one foot in front of the other is what we choose to do rather than give in. That's another gorgeous image colored to perfection once again. The way you color her eyes is simply captivating. Wishing you many blessings and better days ahead as well.

  5. Jim, I hear you loud and clear. All God's children get weary in this world that bears down on us, yet we can have the courage to stand tall and strong all because of Jesus. May He bless and keep you!
