When I was coloring this it reminded me of a "peaceful life". As I look over my life of 54 years I am blessed for I can say I am at peace, I have no regrets, no anger, no un-forgiveness. All my trials were for my good and I learned that lesson at a young age that even in evil towards me God was working for my good. Not long ago I saw some ladies that I grew up with(old gang members) yes in my early years I was in a gang, seems like a life time ago, one is in a mental institute, some in jail, some heroin and crack addicts , some has aids, and all I could think about was this could have been me, but for the grace of God He reached down and plucked me out of the fires of this life style and saved me. And from that moment over 3o years ago, I have been blessed with a life of peace, O yes I have been through great trials in my life, but none the less The God who was able to save me from that life style I believed that He could work out all the rest.This is my stamp tv sketch challenge#13, the stamp is by creative images and the paper is basic grey, colored with pencil and oms.
Blessings

God is truly gracious!! Your post reminds me of the verse:
"I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, to give you hope and a future." I often think of this verse when things are not exactly going my way but his plans are for the greater good. Thanks for sharing!
