My name is Diane and this is my Story, this is my Song!!!
My Blessings are many.
I'm the daughter of The King, a Jesus Follower since 1970 when He whispered my name and called me to be His very own. Knowing Him and making Him known is the desire of my heart. It's been the only thing that's brought true and meaningful change in my life. It's only by His grace that I can live a life of JOY! "Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his mighty arm have gained the victory for him." Psalm 98:1
I'm a Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mom, Nanna, Grammy, Artist, Gardener, Cook, Health Nut, Neighbor & Friend.
I'm a Yankee by birth, raised in Delaware BUT I got to the great state of Texas as fast as I could. The love of my life and I retired in 2016 and made the 1400 mile trek with 2 Uhauls, 2 dogs and a heart full of anticipation. We arrived 2 days later to our serene, peaceful 25 acre pine forest.
I have flower beds full of new and amazing plants in Zone 8b! That means Tropicals and Subtropicals during the Summer and hiding them in the garage during harsh winters! That means fruit trees I never dreamed of in Zone 6a; Pomegranate, Figs, Peaches, Sugar Apple, Moringa, Papaya, Native PawPaw, Native Plum, Mango, Hibiscus. Flowers like Canna Lillies, Oleander, Mexican Petunia, Gardenia, Mexican Lavender,Various Salvia, Texas Sage....and so much more! Learning how to have a container garden because although we own 25 acres, I have to chase the sun. We do live in a forest!
We were blessed with 4 Grand Littles! They are the joy of my heart!
We're blessed with slow food that’s grown with loving hands (mine). Texas kicked my garden butt my first growing season. I feel redeem with Summer Part 2; which most people call Fall! :) In East Texas we get a second growing season for tomatoes, peppers, all greens, beets, broccoli, squash, green beans, lima beans....Oh I'm giddy just thinking about it!
I am an absolute Right Brainer…TOTALLY!!!! Don’t ask me to add or count! My hands are my brain.
My tribe is made up of Christian girlfriends to laugh and create with...right brainer art sisters!
Gifts that include art, sketching, sculpting, knitting, pottery, quilting, cooking, weaving, hooking, basketry….and whatever I set my mind to.♥
My Spiritual Gifts are Giving, Encouragement, and Compassion. Those are the areas I shine. I also have the gift of Asaph from the Old Testament...his name means "to gather". Asaphs are concerned about the condition of God's flock. Asaphs love God's flock. I use to love my flock of sheep. They taught me so much about The Great Shepherd. I am a true Worshipper...I LOVE to worship God in unity of the body and alone in my happy place, the studio. There is ALWAYS a song in my mouth. A hymn of praise to my God!
A good sense of humor that gets me through life....laugh often, and laugh often at yourself! "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." Proverbs 17:22
A warm home filled with love. And an art studio, The Shepherd's Studio (God's Studio) built with Love!
Books, books and more books that line my shelves; Theology & Faith, Herbalism, Aromatherapy, Health, Novels, Livestock, Poultry, Knitting, Weaving, Dyeing, Spinning, Gardening…….I LOVE to read!
Jesus lover of my Soul!
Fun, Joyful Happy Art!
Handmade quilts on our beds.
Handmade sweaters on our backs and socks on our feet.
Flowers and herbs that give us life & wellness.
Music to calm our nerves & soothes our souls.
Peaceful mornings on our Texas porch that quiets our souls.
Laughter!!!
Love that fills our hearts.
And JOY…just simple JOY given to all who enter our lives.
