Roots Of Faith
New life sprouting from the remaining trunk of a broken tree.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—
This was drawn after last year's hurricanes and inspired by the verse below. But it is significant to all the storms in life. :-)

Corry -
I'd already been by and had seen your latest tree drawing, but just haven't commented in a while (too long). I really like your drawing and thoughts with it and it reminds me VERY much of the blog post I gave the award to (that you MUST check out) and the picture the young man, Scott Simpson, took that I had in my winners' post.
Here's the link to that specific post, "Listening to Trees" from last January.
I do not know this young man except by that post he wrote and a few others I read when "checking" him out, but based on that post alone, he's a gifted Christian writer and thinker.
His post reminds me so very much of your's here, Corry.

P. S. How are you doing with your injections? I read your post about giving yourself your shot for the first time. That's great that you're able to do that now. I just hope you'll be able to do so without having sore muscles afterward.
Hi lieve zus :)
Just drop by to let you know that I've been thinking about you and Noor. She is beginning a new chapter in her life on 14 Aug. I'm so excited for her.
God bless both of you abundantly!
Corry, there are times in my life that I feel like being hard-pressed, perplexed and struck down. The storms in life can be daunting, but in Christ we have hope and help. Great drawing sis. You are sooooo talented! :)
Dee,
Thanks for the link.
I have no problems with the shots anymore and the only thing that hurts is the fluid when goingin, but that is so minor it's neglectable:-)
Audrey,
Thank you, lieve zus. It's so sweet of you to remember that. :-)
God bless you bunches as well!
Kitty,
Amen!
Thanks girl :-) Still waiting for your picture, hehe.
God's Grace.
Corry, I'm just stepping out of the shadows where I've been *lurking* so I can drop in and say HI. Hope all is well with you and yours. Blessings...
Claire,
Nice to see you, girl. I think I have been doing the same. I have been reading but not commenting much.
I hope all is well with y'all too. I pray your medication is helping and giving you some relief.
God bless you.
God's Grace.
