Stars and Prayer

I spent a good deal of time marveling at the stars on this beautiful, clear night.
Every time I see the night sky, it's like seeing it completely new. It's so vast and glorious, totally unique and simple in an alarmingly complex way! 

And then I realized, talking with God is kind of like that. He's huge and wonderful, but He has provided such a simple way of communicating with Him. Even if we cannot understand how it works, we know it does. As much joy as I take in observing the stars (on fire and burning out), I find so much more joy in talking to my Heavenly Father.
Because I could yell at the stars for hours and nothing would change, but God in Heaven listens to me. Jesus, the Son, intercedes on my behalf every day and then puts massive spheres of burning gas into the galaxy to remind me that He's there and that He loves me. 

Thank you, God.

'Ello, World!

'Ello, World! I hear it's "the thing to do" to write an introductory post, so here goes!

I'm Susie: a nerd, a writer, a runner, and a Christian. I am loved by the God of the Bible and I hope to use this blog to share the love that He has given me. 

This blog is a general conglomeration of thoughts, opinions, and personal works (hence the sketchings).

I chose the name of this blog for several reasons: 
1) I am an amateur artist, working best in pens. 
2) Sketches, in my mind, are synonymous with scripts in the sense that they are the outlines from which great works are born.
3) "I am, and always will be, the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams." Thank you, Doctor Who.

I hope you enjoy this adventure with me.
