"Quiet in the Whirlwind" is an inspirational 8X6" photographic print mounted to A4 that speaks of our pain, but also the comfort we get when we pause and find moments of quiet with God and ourselves. Frame it on your wall or on the mantel piece for an emotive reminder to take moments of quiet and peace even when life is swirling around you, or simply display it in a Dorm or bedroom, or send it as a gift to someone needing to be inspired and encouraged This was printed from an original Acrylic painting created during the 2020 Lockdown in the Uk.

Hands – hypocrites – that belied the happy notes they struck; Tapering fingers of nerves, weighted with glittering ware; Tired hands, where veins throbbed in the hope they might keep still; Beautiful, yet too white, wavering wearily on, Playing the song of life when the dirge of death had begun. – Marion Strobel (1920) Parmigianino Portrait of a Collector (detail) ca. 1523 oil on panel National Gallery, London Agnolo Bronzino Portrait of a Young Man (detail) ca. 1550-55 oil on panel National Gallery, London Johannes Stradanus Christ driving the Money-Changers from the Temple (detail) 1572 oil on panel Basilica di Santo Spirito, Florence Philippe de Champaigne Moses with the Ten Commandments (detail) ca. 1648 oil on canvas Milwaukee Art Museum Jusepe de Ribera St Jerome (detail) ca. 1648 oil on canvas Fondazione Cavallini Sgarbi, Ferrara Carlo Dolci Allegory of Charity (detail) ca. 1659 oil on canvas Palazzo Pretorio, Prato Pietro Dandini Allegory of Concord (detail) ca. 1675-85 oil on canvas Palazzo Pretorio, Prato Ubaldo Oppi The Surgeons (detail) 1926 oil on canvas Museo d'Arte della Città di Ravenna
In Paul Griffiths’ 2008 novel let me tell you, Ophelia tells her story using only the 481-word vocabulary given to her in Hamlet: So: now I come to speak. At last. I will tell you all I know. I was deceived to think I could not do this. I have the powers; I take them here. I have the right. I have the means. My words may be poor, but they will have to do. What words do I have? Where do they come from? How is it that I speak? There will be a time for me to think...

Understand your body, become a braver speaker.
Every person has within them an emotion which their subconscious is hiding. Which emotion do you think your subconscious is hiding from you?
"She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue." ~Proverbs 31:26 Aren't we are always growing as women and how we speak to others? I cringe when I think about my younger days and how I know I needed to be more mature and careful in my speaking. I lacked discretion and spoke too freely about how I felt sometimes! But the Lord got a hold of me and started convicting me about areas that I needed to work on and He is still working on me today too in different areas. I am so grateful for that. "Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water." ~James 3:5-12 I want to be even more diligent in this area as I speak God's truth to my children over all the various life issues that they are going through because I know that God can use it to speak profoundly in their lives. "Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ..." ~Ephesians 4:15 I know I don't have many more years with them, several are already adults, and I want to take advantage of the time that I have left with them. As I thought more about it I want to be a woman that: PRAYS BEFORE SHE SPEAKS We need to get wisdom from God. He will direct and guide us so we need to take the time to pray and seek His face. MAKES SURE HER WORDS ALIGN WITH SCRIPTURE We need to be in the Word of God so that we can share it and make sure what we are sharing aligns with it. Not just speaking our "mind" or speaking from the flesh but giving wise counsel as we should. SPEAKS IN LOVE We are told to speak the truth in love- but we need to do it also with GRACE and MERCY putting others before ourselves. SPEAKS WITH A SPIRIT OF HUMILITY We need to talk to others with a spirit of humility and not be prideful because we are sinners just as they are. We need to practice self control and not act out in anger or self righteousness. SHE SPEAKS TO BRING PEOPLE CLOSER TO CHRIST We need to not let the focus be about ourselves (for example: always wanting to be right or winning an argument) but our ultimate goal needs to be to bring people closer to Christ. The Bible also exhorts us to be a peacemaker at all costs so if we are stirring up dissension, especially among believers, we are not doing His will. SPEAKS SO THAT CHRIST IS GLORIFIED IN THE END Can we look back and say that Christ was exalted through this conversation? If not, we need to ask for forgiveness to God and/or the one we offended. It takes humility to do that, but it is what He has called us to do. Remember that no one is perfect--we have all sinned with our tongues one way or another in the past. Ask God for forgiveness and help to do better in this area. If we obey God He definitely bless us and help us along the way! Here is a list of Bible verses for further study on this topic. Dear Lord, please help us to be wise as we speak the truth to others. We need your help to do this your way and not our way. Thank you for forgiving us when we have failed and showing your grace to us. Help us to love others the way you have faithfully loved us. In Jesus' name we pray--Amen.
