Rise Up

Posted in: Me

rise up

I am a musical person. This isn’t really the season in my life where I truly celebrate that, it is the season for paper and glue and being a mommy. It is ok that my music happens by singing in church and along with the radio, it is still there. It is still deeply important, and it will wait for me.

Felt like doing a layout with this photo and couldn’t find the words to describe how I felt that day in the mountains. It was a really hard day. A gut wrenching day; but it is over and here I am. Ok. Still singing. There was music in my soul that day, and certain songs that calmed my heart and nudged me in the right direction. I am a person to whom God speaks, and He usually opens my ears with a gentle melody and a powerful lyric. So this layout was born. A little cheesy, but all me.

I used My Mind’s Eye paper and transparencies & Inque Boutique “French Quarter” alphabet stamps.

  1. That’s a lovely layout! It inspired feelings in me of joy and perseverence. We’re at a time that we try to enjoy at the same time we are just trying to survive and the little things like “making a joyful noise” help bring sanity and happiness.

  6. Rise Up. That goes so well with how dragonflies live. They begin buried in water and go up and up and finally they are in the sun flying high. Very cool layout, so symbolic.
    Dragonflies are beautiful and so are you inside and out. Dragonflies are awesome and contribute the greatest service to mankind, they eat mosquitos! They look like they are darting here and there in confusion, but much is being accomplished. Your contributions are great too. You may think you are buzzing around in a spastic manor, but what you do is wonderful and so very important. :)
    Soar high Lou.

    Love, Mom
