About Me

My photo
I'm a 25 year old, mother of two. I have been a homemaker since the birth of my first child. I may seemingly have little to do with the world around me, due to the fact that my impact on the world goes unseen in a lot of ways. I take my job as a mother very seriously though, because it's not one life, mine, thats going to be affecting the world in my eyes, but rather the lives of my children that will make an impact. Therefore I'm doing the best I can, as I learn, to try to teach them how to live meaningful lives. I praise God for everything that I have and especially a newly found ability to paint. If it wasn't for the events good and bad that he's lead me thru and out of in my life I wouldn't be the person I am today. So in everything that I do I pray that He will get glory in it. I'm not perfect so that statement doesn't come with a guarantee, it is just simply a prayer and a hope for my life.

I can do all things through Christ

I know it's been forever it seems since I last got on here and wrote.  To be honest, I've been putting way to many things in my life off until later dates.  One of which, and the most important, is God.  Have you ever had an elderly person in your family, like a grandmother or grandfather that you love more than you can put into words, but your life seems to get away with you and you find yourself driving by their house saying, "I will stop next time and visit".
As horrible as it sounds that is how my relationship with God has been for quite some time.  And believe it or not it has effected my painting in a major way.  I love God and I want to sit down and spend some good down time in the bible so that I can feel that intimacy with my creator, because there is absolutely nothing like it. But I feel like Paul, in that the the things that I want to do are the very things that I don't do.  Like I will sit down and look at a magazine, a book, or anything else but not my bible...and I feel like I'm more strongly drawn to those other things, even though I have a longing and a knowing in my heart of which one will be better for me.  To be honest i feel like I am under a major attack, and I know it's because of painting, because I set out to do this for God's Glory and the devil is trying to stop me from being able to. But I've only got one verse for the devil and that is, I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Phillipians 4.13!!!!!!!!!!


On a painting note, the most recently finished painting I've done is one for my brother (it's a christmas present).  I highly doubt there is any way that he would ever read this before christmas, that's the only reason why I'm talking about it.  It's a painting of the Samford Hall at Auburn University.  That is his alma mater.  I'm so excited that Auburn is doing so well this year.   I'm going to post a picture of the painting, the picture is one of the painting before it was completely done.  I will try to post a completed version after I have time to take another picture
