With today's painting I wanted to be able to express a visual prayer to God. At this point it seems almost that I have run out of things to pray to God, aside from saying the same things over and over again. That's when I am most thankful for other forms of worship/prayer combined. Through music and painting I can express words that may not be able to be put into verbal form.
Right now Aunt Carla is just holding on, sort of in the middle of present life and eternal life. This is very hard on her I'm sure and also her family. It seems that most everyone around Carla is praying for mercy, myself included. In talking to my mom #2 today (she is currently in Georgia helping when and where she can) something she said made me to think of the song 'Have thine own way Lord'. It just sort of stuck a chord with me and has been in my head, sort of something i've been singing over aunt Carla through prayer today.
The painting I did today I just wanted to represent kind of where Carla is. She is in the middle between our prayers (the praying hands at the bottom of the painting) for mercy and quick healing. The hands of God which are going to lift her body (which is red signifying the eternal healing blood of Christ) up whether physically or spiritually. The hands in which are lifting are a hymn, "Have thine own way Lord", because that is what we are praying over her life. Whatever God's will is, that is what we pray over her.
