Someday...

Artsy Room. 

Mackinaw Island, MI. 

Love it!  Notice the floors - wood with colorful paint!  Yay.  : )

& the couch has a canvas back that the artist painted.

Someday....

I would love to have a room like this.

These days are soon to come, but for now we have the snow covered trees hit by the sun

& peacocks in Michigan to enjoy!

 We saw these beauties while driving and couldn't resist stopping!  I've never seen them outside of the zoo.  The whole car group got out and snapped photos.  It made our day!  We thought it odd people were passing by without stopping, until one of the neighbor's said that they are the neighborhood pets.  One even feeds them and one had a metal peacock sculpture.  There were about four all together - one male with three females.

& welcome to Michigan weather:  One day we have snow:

& the next day we don't!  I'm not complaining.

Captured at Play

...Let's go fly a Kite...

~Dominican Republic, 2010~

Captured at play, enjoying the day.

We were out in service in a little town far away with lots of small homes, shacks, more or less,

and the day was a beautiful one.

I kept seeing lots of children laughing as they ran in the wind with their homemade kites,

made from plastic bags.

Remember to take time to play each and everyday,

Stop and think about creation,

and more importantly the Creator.

We will have all the time in the future to use our creative brains to the full....

I just can't wait!!

Much Love,

Jillian Brea : )

Beauty-full.

A Poem for the beauty-full days we have enjoyed lately:

....Go Out....

Go out and look about
Beauty surrounds us in the world you see
You will see, it's not up to me
Who can number the stars in the heavens above?
Only One answer is possible, my love

Go out and look about
So much to explore
Out each and every door
Beauty surrounds us in the world you see
Come on a joyful jubilee with me!

More Photos!

Some more lovely photographics of the trip:

Meet Rebekah : )- a super sweet sister who's house we stayed at for the first week. Then the inside of the kingdom hall - notice the yellow walls I loved. Then comes the stadium we spent many hours cleaning and making a nice teal color (notice the before photo with all the friends working hard on their hands and knees scrubbing the dirt off & the after - all nice and clean). After that meet Courtney and the little boy from the neighborhood who helped us out - such a hard working team!. Then Katie at her post painting the announcers platform spic and span white. All in all I have hundreds more photos and will gradually put some on so you can see the story unreel.
