382087_10151152861092548_713736885_nWow! 2012 was an awesome year! Looking back I see a year filled with change, excitement, love, new friendships and a few good byes. We laughed, we cried, we loved.

            The most exciting thing about this last year is seeing God’s hand moving in everything that happened, the good and the not so good, in the pain, in the lose and the morning, the terrible storms our country faced, the unthinkable horror of losing school children to the hand of a troubled soul. God was moving in all these things, loving people through the acts of kindness from strangers, to the arms that comforted the morning.

This year also brought three young men that my family has been praying for, for years to a saving grace. It is unexplainable and  awesome to see a soul turn from being troubled,  and on the verge of suicide, to being filled with an overwhelming inner peace and Joy! God is so good!

If you have had a rough year; If you are struggling just to breath your next breath, please know that the God of the universe loves you dearly and wants good for you. Call on Him for help, He will meet you right where you are. No matter what you have done, or how unworthy you feel you are. Jesus Christ loves you and was willing to lay down His life to pay the payment (Punishment) for your sin. That who ever believes on Him, calls upon him and repents (asks forgiveness and turns away from sin) and asks Him to take control of their lives, will be saved.

I asked only yesterday to hear the testimony of a young man who gave his life to the Lord on Christmas day. He said he was an alcoholic and suicidal and felt that there was no reason to go on living, no way out of the mess he was in. Out of desperation,  and in tears he asked his father what he could do. His father had the wisdom to tell him that only God could change his life and prayed with this precious young man to receive Christ into his life. My friend said he felt the weight lifted from him and was filled with peace and joy! He no longer has any desire for the alcohol! That is the God I serve! He is the living God, the only one who can change you from the inside out.

My prayer for you is that you will come to know God as this young man did this year. May God bring you to a saving knowledge of Him that goes far beyond any peace you could have imagined! Happy New Year!

“Classic” 11″x14″ Acrylic on canvas

As I painted portraits of my children and grandchildren for Christmas gifts this year, I really wanted the style of painting to fit their individual personalities as well as resemble them physically. My Daughter Esther is a Classic. She is Warm, easy going, caring, fun and genuinely loves people! She is my daughter, my friend and my prayer partner. So for her portrait I wanted to include those aspects of her personality in the style and color choice. So I went with a classic portraits style. simple lines, blended skin tones and and over all soft look. It is not as beautiful as the original but I do believe I captured her in this piece.

My Grandson loves super Heros. So when I was deciding on what to do for a Christmas gift for him I thought I could paint him as Super man. This was challenging because it calls for a different style then I am used to painting in. But it was easier then I thought it would be and I love the results. My grandson it truly SUPER!

“The Force”16″x20” Acrylic on Canvasfb the forceMy Son in Law Bryan is a huge Star wars fan. So as his Christmas gift I decided to make him a family portrait set as a star wars poster! This was a fun piece to paint, as you can imagine. Here we have Bryan as Obi wan kenobi, Esther as Queen Amidala, my granddaughter Emil as Princess Leia, and grandson Josh as Luke Skywalker.

This piece also has hidden treasures as the light sabers glow,the  x wing fighters shoot lasers, and the rebel symbol glows  with ultra violet paint that will light up when lights are off and a black light is shone on it.

So, I am going through the process of getting bifocal contact lenses, right? I have had three weeks now of different stages of blurry vision. One week I can see far off, one week close up, one week not so much of either and oddly enough, much better of both. Weird!Night driving has become a huge challenge this last few weeks with headlights being beautiful large stars.

So yesterday I get my last fitting, and things are looking pretty good, till the sun went down.  Good News is I am no longer seeing large stars in the headlights. Bad news, I am seeing space stations! Huge  glowing space stations! I got into the van to drive home and I had to pull over after just a mile of freeway and let my son drive the rest of the way home. Kinda gives a whole new meaning to Death Star! Yikes.  I may just have to go with Glasses, this is crazy! ~~~ I love my life!

I Love My Life! ~ Sing Along

Lindsay Guitar   So, I’m sitting at the computer working, Isaiah is doing home work and Isaac in his room… my husband sitting on the sofa, picks up a piano lesson book my son brought home. Before we know it he is singing, (in his best Judy Garland voice) “Somewhere over the rain bow, way up high, there’s a place that I dreamed of once in a lullaby, both hands now!“  And he starts laughing and says “what is that suppose to mean?” then without missing a beat he continues to sing the song! Working his way through the book singing a line or two from each song he recognizes and making some offhand remark about each. Like a one-man comedy act; all the time the rest of us are giggling to ourselves unbeknownst to him, he is entertaining us without even realizing it.  “With Gilligan, the skipper too, the millionaire and his wife, movie star, the professor and Mary Ann, here on Gilligan’s Isle”…. I love my life!

Painting In Progress ~ Holy Fire

 Holy Fire 12″x12″ on canvas

382087_10151152861092548_713736885_nToday’s Piece was inspired by several scripture references.

Matthew 3:11
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Matthew 3:16
When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

Along with other scriptures that describe toe Holy Spirit  Synonymous with fire and or a Dove. I love the peacefulness and gentleness of the dove mixed with the warmth and Power of fire. I wanted to convey the beauty of the Joy of the Holy Spirit that should always be mixed with a reverence for the Power that Abides in Him.
This piece has inspired my soul!
