And the sign says "everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray". Then they passed around a plate at the end of it all and I didn't have a penny to pay... by the 5 Men Electrical Band
More from my path... I love Jesus. And I love to commune with Him in prayers and meditation. And music! I have been finding so many music artists, whether its rock and roll, country, blues or the long hair stuff has a lot of really good stuff in it. And the old time gospel. I till hear my gram singing about His Eye is On The Sparrow. And I remember singing with my sisters G-L-O-R-I-A to our mom, of the same name ;), as we drove off to grams house. God was there. Because there was love. Because God is Love.
These memories continue to warm my heart long after they have left this place. Family is everything. They have a way of making an impact. Sometimes good. And God can take that and make it wonderful. Sometimes bad. And God can take that and make it for good too as a lesson or as a blessing.
You know, your prayer really does make a difference. Sometimes the answer doesn't come microwave fast but it will come. And I am blessed. I was raised well. To care. To pray. and because I am an artist. And a prophetic one as well. And God answers my prayers. Sometimes I pray and it becomes visual like a dream and I paint my dreams. Like this one. I was asked to pray for a new mommy who holds a really big place in my heart. And so I did. And this is what I saw.
Flash forward a dozen or more years and backpacking and facing her mountain with her dear husband and her then very tall baby boy. This mommy was well. Strong. Healthy and doing just fine. I shared with her that I had prayed, what I had seen and to claim her healing in the Name of Jesus and to pray the Resurrection Prayer until she was well. And she was healed. She was made well. And she's doing just fine.
Hmmm... you think that'd be the end of the story. Nope! I was urged by the Holy Spirit to paint what I had been shown and to gift it to her as she would benefit from His message to her many many times in the upcoming years. So I did. Wait! something is not right. He names all of His inspired works and this didn't have a name. Well then the only thing to do is wait. So I did. And then it was time to rework it a bit and then there it was! This is called Still Waters. As in Psalms 23. And it is in my top five of favorites :) The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me.
UPDATE! The end of the story? Nope. All is well and she fine and doing well with her two boys now.
