     I painted this during worship at Emmanuel Fellowship Church, Sweetwater, TX a couple of Sunday's ago.  It was one of those days in which I had no ideas.  I was busy that morning with other ministry duties and couldn't take time to focus.  I was about to take the stage, with brush in hand and no clue.  It can be a little frightening.  I think of the musicians.  They take the stage and have practiced and practiced and have music in front of them.  They have a clue!  It's different with us artists.  I look at this tree and even right now as I'm writing the Lord revealed something to me.  I realized that this painting might have been just for me!  It is when I go out on a limb, that He always comes through!  His promises are always yes and amen for me. Why should I ever worry?   I wasn't thinking about that as I painted.  I was just thinking...what now, Lord?  What can I do next?   

   Interestingly, the sermon was on blended families in our "Family Matters" sermon series.  It spoke to my pastor, Eric vonAtzigen.  He thought it expressed the beauty of blended families.  My husband, Paul thinks it looks like a pathway into Glory.  I love prophetic art, in that it has a Godly message that can be so different and so personal to different people.

     This is number 19 of the 30 in 30 challenge.  This was an image I saw in my mind's eye as I sat in a School of the Spirit at Emmanuel Fellowship Church, Sweetwater, TX  I couldn't wait to paint it, but had to wait just over a week.  While in a waiting room for a few hours, I worked it out on my iPad, just to play with colors, and the idea.  I was so amazed that, the very  same  day my pastor ran across a logo of a similar drawing!  He emailed it to me, and I was so surprised.  The Logo was in black and white and mine was definitely in the fiery colors, but it was confirmation to me that I was indeed supposed to paint it.  I was the artist during worship today, so this is what I did.  You know, "When the Son sets you free, you are free indeed".  John 8:36.  

Encircled by His Love

24x30 Acrylic on Canvas Worship art piece done during worship service at Emmanuel Fellowship Church, Sweetwater, TX.  The dialog that was happening between the Lord and myself while painting was amazing.
