Fear not

5/7/2020

We have been painting murals on the clinic property for about six years. I had an idea a while back for one, but kind of wanted to do it myself, although I did not think I really could. But this week I gave it a try in my free time before and after work. Never done anything like it before, might never do it again, don't know.

I thought about just putting a picture up on Facebook...but this is just a little too personal to share without sharing the story as well.

I don't know...something about Snoopy's battle with the Red Baron as a kid I found reassuring. Grit, fear, calm...quite the range of emotions displayed.

I am not a kid anymore. But I still need reassuring.

I did it in English, and painted it in such a way that no one will see it really unless they are coming down the stairs from where we are living. I did it that way because I figure it wouldn't make sense to most people just seeing it.

But for me...I can see it every day...and remember.

It means something to me, and helps me, to remember that whatever is going on in my brain, or around me...whatever situations or possibilities I think could happen, the real and imagined, the dark, the scary, that which gives us good cause to freak out and be very much afraid...God is there.

There may be scars along the way, we may lose our lives along the way...but He is with us, and no matter what, it doesn't get better than that.
