AMBITIOUS ADAN ART?


This is the Adan, the pineapple-like fruit that grows on trees that can be found along most beaches on Okinawa. I tried to draw one I'd photographed near the place my sisters and I had our picnic before spending a night at the resort in Feb (Feb.15 post).

It was my first attempt at drawing a sunbeam along with that tiny visual prism-thingy, but it didn't turn out at all like I wanted...oh well...everyone's gotta start somewhere. You can't grow if you don't wanna make stupid mistakes trying things you don't know how because you never did it before.

I am glad God, to whom nothing is new, is so gentle in bringing everything down to a level I understand; then patient as I try to learn, and I can feel comfortable about sharing anything with Him--He's never laughed at me I don't know what I'd do if I had a God who expected me to get it right all the time! I think I'd either be a phony or a nervous wreck.

Thank you for praying for Joyce. The doctor has given her medicine to take at home and will give her another checkup in June, so she will begin her round of churches in a little over a week now--whew.
