It was 2016, and the convictions of the Holy Spirit continued, and He pointed me to Matthew 16:26, who says, "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul"? I saw the world I had lived in for so long as a reflection of itself and now only consisted in my life as a dependable paycheck leaving me unhappy as well as homesick, and I just wanted to go home. But where was home? He showed me as we painted this fourth one together. It is called Reflection, for it was a reflection of all that I knew of the world and was now replacing it with the truth in the reality of living for Jesus. It was time to go all in. I was a product of the "no matter where you go, there you are" and "bloom where you are planted" philosophies to basically buck up, make your peace with your circumstances and do what you need to do. But this thinking had passed its expiration date a long time ago. Because God cares, the Holy Spirit opened my mind that now was the time to work for God as an artist. After all, it was what I was birthed for. The job description that Jesus needed me to fill was to gift His hope to others. He had me at "He needed me." He needed the teaching and lessons I had undergone to share with others. His children were being bombarded with worldly wisdom and losing sight of His face. 1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" I had a vision of not just my working world falling away but all of the world falling away. I saw the city of Minneapolis on fire. I assumed it was because I was burning bridges. And yes, that was part of it. I heard Luke 21:25 "And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves." I saw the waters rising with no way out if I did not leave now. Even as I was ready to go and that my "career" was no longer meant for me, this was a tough switch because steady paychecks rarely depend upon faith and provide for earthly treasures that make life "comfortable," but I went, hesitantly but willingly. My belief is in Jesus is stronger. I found that the grass is greener on God's side. I am free indeed. Till the other side then.

This is Windows 5 the Portal of three little birds was long in creating and inspired by Luke 21:8 He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them. The legend of the sand dollar holds that when Christ ascended to heaven, he left the sand dollar as a symbol to help the evangelists teach the faith. Physical elements of the sand dollar represent events related to Christ's life and death. On the top of the shell, a star is clearly visible. ​ ​It represents the Star of Bethlehem that led the Wise Men to the manger when Christ was born. Around the star is the outline of the Easter lily, a symbol of Christ's resurrection. The sand dollar has four holes surrounding a center hole. The four holes represent Christ's wounded hands and feet after his crucifixion, and the center hole represents his side, pierced by the Roman centurion. On the back of the sand dollar is an outline of the poinsetta. Finally, breaking open a sand dollar reveals five "doves" (bird-shaped fragments within the mollusk) that represent the peace and joy Christ left behind. Times they are a changing people. The desert will be flooded and will expose the seven hills. Watch for the signs in the sky and the heartbeat of the people. Just as quickly as this desert piece began, it stopped. I waited. And waited. Months later the time came to work on it again. The desert was now being flooded and revealed seven hills. The aurora borealis was painted in the essence of an EKG in the midst of a meteor shower. And the door change or rather the sky bent to accommodate the door. Yes we all fall short of the glory of God. Yet the Bible says to not worry as everything will be all right for His children per Rev 3:8 'I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut. But know this... John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". Repent. Now you know. No excuses. See ya on the other side. Times up.

Chase your dreams.

The theory of evolution. In 2 Timothy 2:23-24 it says “Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil” I was asked “I am going to believe in evolution. What can you do?” To which I answered “What I can do is ask why not? If I cared to hear of the reasoning I might ask but what I will do is this. Nothing.” What I did do is walk away with a simple inner “meh” and wonder for about 15 seconds what snagged me into even answering this much in the first place. Their life. Their choices. They can be a monkey. I will be a child of God. Interesting that this picture shows a reflection. Like imitating the Creator.

I had a dream where a heard a fellow I knew speaking in tongues. When I awoke I texted him with the message I had received. It was ill met. Sometimes ministering for Jesus is a struggle. Some are very comfortable in themselves, their ideas, their habits and cannot hear the Father talking through the servant. They lash out, argue, point fingers back, direct sarcasm, laugh, etc. all in attempts to redirect the conviction of the Holy Spirit they are already under. How can you tell? Typical defensive moves. “They” make it easy to say “Not me anymore Lord! This is not what I signed up for. I thought it would be just me and you.” And when they laugh, sneer, or whatever mode their defense directs at me… I count on this, Luke 10:16, “The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.” And leave them to God. He does indeed deal with them and no! it is rarely pleasant to see. Those who challenge me to think New Age just might be on to something, to those who want to bring me into the caring of practicing witches, to those who think the supernatural is mixing Dungeons and Dragons with Christ, to those whose hide behind bravado. These “Fringe People”, are those who have asked Jesus into their hearts but not so much into their lives. I speak to all I am asked to. I am referred to as being user friendly who walks strictly with Christ. No, no emphasis on the strict part, just living as I also gave Jesus my life. I count on this… they cannot unhear what they heard, they cannot unsee what they saw, if they belong to Jesus, the Holy Spirit will convict them. If not… I am still in good standing with My Father. To those who make it a joyous experience… Hallelujah! Amen! I always pray a special treat to you from God!! 😀 till the other side then.

Does karma actually exist and seriously can it have any real effect on anyone's life, good or bad? Karma is a new age term taken from the Bible of reaping what yiu sow. To determine its "reality", all you have to do us wait as it is no respecter of right or wrong. I can only add “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7 which is a completely fair, unbiased, non-discriminating result of our words and choices. We get what we give. Decide what you want to boomerang back. It is being made up for you right now.

I read and hear of many who live by the “prophetic words” given to them. They cling to these words with such an obsession that they become tunnel visioned. I also noticed how much aggravation they go through when life doesn't match their plans. Yep, their plans. And I asked God about why my life story wasn't spelled out for me in such detail. In my asking Him, I referenced that my life seemed more akin to that of a pinball in play. He understood. He showed me how much the pinball has slowed down over the years and how I am not bouncing off the walls sending it off into other directions quite so readily. I asked Him why. He reminded me of when Peter asked about John’s future after the resurrection, where Jesus responded, “What is that to you? As for you, follow me” (John 21:22). Enough said. I like mine as He brings it. Que Sera Sera. What will be, will be. My life has exceeded my wildest dreams.

An all too human dilemma pops up everytime I have my bible time… and because of reading the Bible outloud, and the effectiveness of it, its my preferred choice, but I have noticed that I have just as many stray thoughts scampering around like puppies playing as when I read it silently. Today! the Holy Spirit mentioned that I can take a quick look at the thought, who, or what it might be and say a quick prayer of blessing upon them or it and let God have it and then return your thoughts to Him. Its a win-win. Ta-ta-dahhhh!! guilt free! thank you Jesus 🌹

I had a very odd dream last night… people were getting letters in the mail from the federal government from a list that was generated by the Census. Federal workers were first to receive them. I saw people opening the envelopes and taking out a white note card of instructions. Attached to this card was a rub-on like tattoo that they were required to put on the bottom of their foot, the middle of the sole. The reasoning given was to be able to locate them in case of an accident, at work. I saw people in a room at computers tracking the movements of the tattooed declaring it a success as their monitors showed buildings with people glowing like infrared in various places and were able to ID them. hmmm... not only are my spidey senses tingling but I think I need to dig out the tinfoil hat of the 60s…

In her 2011 speech to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Australia, the queen quoted an Aboriginal proverb: “We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love, and then we return home.” Just like her, we are each set to do the same. To observe from Gods point of view. To learn to be more like Jesus. To grow in our faith. To love as Jesus. Her faith stayed in tact. If it ever waivered, it was only temporary. And by our choice to return home. I am here to learn and to share what I learn in my stories before I go home. Its daunting. Its rewarding. Its evolving. Its often difficult, but its my path. Thank you Jesus. 🌹

Just the picture of this pudding box and I am thrown back to the truly good old days. All the windows are open. Summer breezes are wafting in making the curtain pulls rap repeatedly on the walls. The laughter of generations of daughters fills the air. This gathering was like all of the gatherings, any reason would do. Go! Gather in gram's tiny one bedroom house around an old round pedestal table that squandered the entire kitchen. A ring of vinyl covered chairs that had been recovered oh so many times, yet they were still making do just fine. Oh but there is new blue and white flowered wallpaper on the kitchen wall. Hmmm... someone brought their style to gram's house again. A platter of home made buns with sliced ham from Loy's City Meats and buttered! Both sides. Don't be chintzy. And gram's lemon pie, a legacy. Funny how a product that began about the time my gram was born in the early 1900s, still lives on. Good things last. And memories don't really fade. They can be brought back from the recesses and seem like yesterday. And just like that I can hear gram's crazy voice singing "nearer my God to thee..". I can hear my sisters laughing with our cousins. Mom and her sisters continue their unbreakable bond. My heart is so full it beats loudly in the lump in my throat. No this isn't a shameless plug for any particular product yet there are few I have ever found that can best it. The recipe is right on the box. You made it right if the meringue is at least three inches thick. Summer days. Memories. Pass it along. "Be present at our table Lord. Be here and everywhere adored. These mercies grant that we May feast in paradise with thee. Amen" "Girls come and make a plate" " Sit! Eat!" Gram! You should have made the pie in a cake pan!" "Did you know that..." "Did you hear that..." dishes clatter...silverware scrapes...the smell of egg coffee...more laughing... and I think to myself what a wonderful world... ohhhh yeahhhhh

For a while I denied my art. Then I got the call from God to be what I was born to be. And then!! It’s like the song Drift Away says … And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me And when I'm feelin' blue The guitar's comin' through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know I believe in your song Rhythm and rhyme and harmony You help me along makin' me strong…" I am at last at home in my soul.

I have to share this! It's about angels. Being one. All week long I thought I should run into town. But I heard "no". Finally on Friday morning I thought I should run to the store now, its early and won’t be many people there. But I heard “go mow the lawn”. So I did. Finally around noon, I felt released to finally go get my errands done. First I went to the hardware store an picked up the hose. Smooth sailing! In and out and done! Ta-ta-dah!! As I walked to my car I noticed it looked like it had been hit! What?! Nooo…I Nope just a reflection from the pickup truck parked next to me. Whew! Thank you Jesus. Then I drove over to the pet store and picked up the dog food. Long line and one cashier working. I have been working on my patience and just stood in line with the 24 pound bag and just waited. Eventually I it was my turn and finally! I am out of there. I walk back to my car, the key fob is in my pocket so I set the bag down when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and looked right into the saddest face I had seen in a long time. I felt the Holy Spirit rise up in me and I asked the young lady “ohhh what’s the matter?” She replied “I have been waiting for you to come back to your car. I am so so sorry” and the tears were streaming down her face. I asked her why she was crying and she told me of driving this big car and misjudging just how big it was and that she had hit my car and that she had her insurance information all ready to show me. I asked her to show me where the damage was as I had not seen it. She pointed to a dime size smudge on the back panel. I touch it and sure enough there was a smudge of her paint on it that wiped right off. I said “well that’s nothing don’t worry about it” And then she really cried. Awww… Then I looked at her, or rather Jesus in me was showing me her. I saw a scared new driver who made a mistake. And a very small one. But she stood there and she owned it. It’s like the meme that says “stand up and speak even if your voice shakes”. And she was doing it! I then felt my self make a “mom move”. I said “it’s just a car. Do you need a hug?” And she said “oh yes please!” Instantaneously I reached out and hugged this sweet young sad woman and said “its okay, really. Its just a car an it is such a beautiful day out. Please just go and enjoy it. Everything is fine. And thank you for telling me.” So now I know why God said to wait on the errands until they were on His timing. He wanted to see if I could love a total stranger. And I did. And He wanted her to see the mercy of Jesus. She did. Yes, it is just a car. No, it is not just a soul.

Jesus says in John 15:18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." I need to think on this a bit. I need to pray on this. I need to resolve a long long conflict in me about those who hate me more than they love their own. I have tried my way to always bow out, to stay out of the way, to love those who love me instead and to "handle" this as needed and only when needed. But I am not evolving. I have hit a stalemate. Well that's not good! The most important thing to me is to be closer to Jesus and so this protective wall has to go. Oh but.... oh dear... oh but...and my mind fills with each and every ill mannered speak, thoughtless gestures, self centered egos and and and and and... And then Jesus says in Matthew 5:41 "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. 43 You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Oh I cannot do this on my own. Too much has happened. It is just too much Lord. To which He replied in my Word, in Isaiah 43:2 I promised you "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you." To which I replied "oh so you have met them". And then I hear "And I love them too. Now do the same in Me." Blessings! and looking forward to seeing you on the other side.
