Mist over the Solent this week. As i was waiting to dock into southampton, the water was flat and calm, bit we couldn't see a thing. All feels like something out of Genesis 1

Love this
DUET exhibition hanging The West Gallery. Quay Arts. Recently I have really enjoyed understanding more about the art of curation within a gallery space. 1. Technical work In order to hang work straight and in line there is some basic maths to be done, obviously accuracy is key to success. This took me a while to get used too and it can be quite time consuming to get right but equally it reminded me that the small details matter. This technical work also reminded me of the fact that when God made us and His creation, from nothing, it was done with extreme accuracy, love and devotion to the world. In the same way, we mirror this when we are curating an exhibition, behind closed doors, we need to hang artwork straight, with respect to its owner, in the right position in order to maximise the gallery space for the benefit of the general public. 2. Curating items. When hanging an exhibition, you get a fair amount of freedom on how to display the work. This leads to all sorts of questions that you need to ask yourself and your team you are working with. This may include, juxtaposition, colours, form, texture, theme/ question or idea. For Duet the theme was collaboration. the main questions was, what happens when two people come to curate something new? What motives them? What was the process for making? Ultimately for me I started thinking about the relationship between what it means to cultivate or create something new, knowing that we are made in God’s image and for his workmanship ( Gen 2:15/ Eph 2:10) . It puts a different perspective on things somehow when I am working in the galleries. It has been known that curators have completely changed how an artist first perceived the work to be hung by changing its position or placement in the gallery. It is interesting that when working in a group to curate an Exhibiton, as we were for DUET, so many new ideas and suggestions come forward, and it was hard at times to make a decision. 3. A third space Out of the discussions and questions, the end product reveals something physical for people to view and interpret for themselves. Our gallery at Quay Arts is public and free to enter, and therefore is a third space to ponder, think and question the artwork and curation process further. Overall it creates a third space for us all to ponder the bigger questions of life.
Through the break in the storms of this week, I saw a rainbow. It reminded me that even in the dark and gloomiest of times in life, there is hope that can shine through even the darkest of days.
Like a waterfall of love: as the Father is the lover and the head of the son, so the Son goes out to be the lover and the head of the church. ' As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you,' the Son says ( John 15:9) And therein lies the very goodness of the gospel: as the Father is the lover and the Son the beloved, so Christ becomes the lover of the church and the church the beloved.

Stormy winter walk
Hide us in your shelter Beside the stormy seas Decide our future plans
Between the wooden cracks Our story unfolds
Between the wooden cracks God's story is re-told Breathe.
Bright Star
Bright Star
BY JOHN KEATS
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
Just watched the film Bright Star which was amazing
Beautiful cinematography. Amazing cast. Showed off England to its best. Mentioned the Isle of Wight. Top night for a Saturday.
“Go home and say to yourself, ‘I am a wayward, foolish child. But He loves me! I have disobeyed and grieved Him ten thousand times. But He loves me! I have lost faith in some of my dearest friends and am very desolate. But He loves me! I do not love Him, I am even angry with Him! But He loves me!”
Stepping Heavenward - Elizabeth Pretiss
Here is a quote from a book that I have just finished reading. It was amazing to read a journal that contains so much detail about her walk with the lord and her attempts to live that out fully in day-to-day life. As the journal was written way back in the 1880's some of the language is hard to understand at times, however at times it is very rich and poetic and these parts I enjoyed very much.
There is a lot of wisdom in there about being a mother and a wife, something that I know little about, so maybe more relevant to mummies than to me. I did really enjoy reading about her relationship with her husband and how they worked together to honour Christ.
Overall I did really enjoy reading this book and I would recommend to any girls who likes period dramas and Christian Bio's.
Chilly cowes today. Trying Remembering some simple truths as I walk: Christ before me Christ behind me Christ in every footstep Christ in every misstep Christ in the sails Christ in the sunsets Christ with us.
I cant stop thinking about this:
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by[f] him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
Colossians 1 ESV
HE IS, IN HIM, FOR HIM, BY HIM...... its all for your glory jesus
Fantastic Day at Theatrecraft Conference last week with Arts Award crew. Amazing time going inside the Royal Opera House. However, London still seems to be able to swallow me up whole.
You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime #Chesterton
"You are secure not because you have control or understanding. You are secure even though you are weak, imperfect and short sighted . You are secure for one reason and one reason alone: god exists and he is your father. He will never leave your side, he will never fail on his promises, he will never fail to provide. And he has the power to do so- he is lord "- Paul David Tripp

First attempt at knitting. Didn't know what to make it into so turned it into a hand puppet ! Going to start on a head band next!
Art installation at The Vyne, national trust house. The top are 49 wooden pomegranates representing the amount of times Catherine of Aragon is pictured in the room. The carpet is lifted up because Henry VIII Covered up the panels when he divorced Catherine. The second is my favourite as it is lots of old books and paper cut outs and it shows in detail the story of the house and its literary connections to Austen, Toilken plus many others. I like the way the artists has the books open when traditionally we have books in a library closed and on a shelf. For more information on the project:http://www.unravelled.org.uk/vyne
