Sometimes the Payoff is Sweet

 All projects take time and commitment. Sometimes, that comes easy. Other times, not so much.
Take Amy's latest endeavor for instance. She is working on a mural for the church nursery; Noah's Ark to be exact. She was excited about it at first, but then reality hit.

This painting is BIG, and detailed, and intimidating.
She soon began to doubt her ability.
I love to watch her work. I think she makes it look easy, but she would disagree. She is struggling to get it done.

But she will.
Because she is talented.
              she has perseverance,
              she is Amy.

I love her hands.

Sometimes we just don't feel like being creative, especially with a deadline of sorts. 

I prefer to call it "meeting a goal" instead of a "deadline" because deadline is just about the most uninspired word that there is. 

And here is my inspiration for Amy: 

Yep, I painted those teeth myself.
And yet she doesn't ask for my expertise...
I really don't get it. 
Here was my "masterpiece" for the day:  A red velvet cupcake cake for Heather. It took a little time and commitment , but the payoff in the end was worth it. Something tells me that Amy's payoff in the end will be even sweeter. 

Love,

Dianne
