On our first anniversary I asked Rawlins for a baby. He said not yet.

On our second anniversary I asked Rawlins for a baby. He said, “you’re still so young, Anastasia.”

When Rawlins was away on a trip, one of those convention things for the advertising industry, he told me to stick close to home. But I really wanted to head on down to the ocean, walk the beach, maybe take some pictures. I had a painting in mind and wanted to start on it when I got back. I was sure he wouldn’t mind.

The September day flew in and out on a warm breeze. The sand, heated with sunshine, accepted my feet so lovingly. Such a comfort from God overcame me, and I praised Him there on the beach, a blanket spread beneath me. I took pictures, talked to the man at the caramel-corn stand, sketched, and ate Boardwalk Fries. Even the drive home felt supernatural and so important, giving me that assurance that just living was suck a noble thing.

When I got home that night from the beach, I picked up my brush and wow! I stayed up all night painting! It was wonderful! I hadn’t felt like that in years. It was like dancing. And you know, I felt God’s Spirit with me. I really did. I felt Him breathing behind me almost as though He watched and rejoiced with we. I actually painted two canvases. There was something special there finally, something I’d lost years before, as though someone had found a precious childhood toy of mine on some unfrequented byway and sent it to me special delivery. And I knew all that wandering in the desert wasn’t wasted. Oh, the plans I had for the next day when I lay down at six a.m., tired but hardly out of ideas. The plans! The next morning; I called down to Towson Art where a friend of mine worked, and he delivered two stretched canvases at lunchtime so I didn’t have to stop. It felt more like play than work, that I’d tapped into something holy. I felt so free and wonderful! It seemed like the start of something big in my life. Something huge and wonderful.
