- Soulwalker, Lunar.
This is LUNAR. Psalm 104:19 He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting. The message...from Genesis came "In the beginning... and then God created man..." and then in Ecclesiastes 3:1He reminds us "For everything there is a season..." And it is our path to walk back to God. Till the other side then. Blessings.

- Remnant I. The Red Truck. Traveling Salvation Show.
Closing time approaches. You don't have to go home but you cannot stay here...The once brimming storehouse is empty and only used now for those symbolic things that were once needed to convey Gods Word to anyone who would listen. The abandoned truck with the shattered windshield. The Salvation Show no longer travels. God gave wisdom to Joseph from pharaohs dream in Genesis 37 to fill up into the granaries for seven years as there would be seven years of a great famine. This is called Remnants. Traveling Salvation Shows. The thought of "come back to me" was the mainstay as this one evolved. And as it came to an end, the thought was replaced with "take up my mantle". And again, the movie reel played in my head of times gone by, said to be a kinder and simpler time, times I never lived but felt such a part of. I could smell the musty inside of the abandoned truck as well as the corn that had once filled this elevator. I remember a time long ago of my mother telling me of a vision she had of seeing grain elevators overflowing like cascading gold and that Spirit told her "all this is possible if you come back to me". Hosea 12:6 "Therefore, return to your God, Observe kindness and justice, And wait for your God continually." Time is short. Hopefully you will be raptured. But know this... those who are will take the wisdom and knowledge of the Word of God with them. The ones who are left...

- Remnant II. One room schoolhouse.
This is called A Remnant in Time. It is the second in a series of putting to memories to paint. In Proverbs 22:6 the bible says Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. The Holy Spirit is walking me thru my history and healing me as we go. I would like to share that as I painted this abandoned one room in a memory of playing in the schoolhouse outside of Jeffers, MN in southwestern Minnesota, I remember the hot summer sun, how cold the water was coming from the pump and made colder by communal tin cup hanging from it, the smell of the corn, riding on the fender of the tractors, living out loud. I knew that my family consisted of the older children, the aunts, the uncles, the grandparents, and the cousins. Windows and doors, like hearts, were never locked. Jesus blessed me greatly when He put me in this family of mine. He wants it done with kindness and love as He does for us. "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." ( John 13:34-35). Especially the children. UPDATE!! The original is now at home on display at the Jeffers City Hall amongst the historical memorabilia of the village history. :) I could not be more pleased!! or honored.

- I plant. You water. God makes it grow.
In the movie Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche DuBois smilingly acquiesces as she loses all contact with reality, addressing the doctor with the most famous line in the play: "Whoever you are...I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Where I still have a firm grip on it, lol, my reality for a long hot summer at home tending my garden changed out for another adventure from the beautiful western hills of South Dakota its incredibly hot interior of dust and dirt to paint, pray and experience new lessons that I would not have learned tucked in at home. And because Jesus loves me, He provides. This represents a succulent called WATERED for Isaiah 58:11 “And the Lord will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail." And because God is good, especially to His obedient children, I was able to flourish as a succulent in my lessons as was my garden at home. God provides the watering and the waterer, like my wonderful neighbors, wherever and whenever needed. Until we meet in the Garden on the other side, continued blessings to all.

- A Ruth by any other name would not smell as sweet.
"The life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there." ~John Piper. This painting of Faith parallels Ruth's story in the Bible. That no matter what has happened, all those shut doors, road blocks and false starts, the best will still come. This depicts a young Native American woman wearing a wool military blanket or “trade cloth“ dress adorned with Money Cowrie shells, from the California coast. Long before any European contact, these shells were an important trade item in North America which were brought inland from the Pacific coast by Native American traders. They were rare, and had a high trade value. Thus the name “Money” Cowrie. The more cowrie shells adorned a dress, the wealthier her family was and worn with great pride. She holds a cross carved out of Pipestone, a red rock that tells of the story of "a great flood whose swirling waters overran all the earth and its people" carrying and crushing them into a quarry until their blood turned the stone red . One beautiful maiden survived by being stranded on a high butte, possibly Wyomings Devil's Tower, where she is rescued by a giant eagle, the Sioux's most honored friend. He takes the girl to his nest and makes her his wife. Together they have twins, a boy and a girl. When the children are older, the eagle takes all three in his great talons and carries them to the Great Plains. He sets them on Mother Earth, and tells them to make a great nation. Sounds like the story of Ruth. Ruth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When he made love to her, the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!” And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David. Ancestor of Jesus. Genesis 16:13 She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” PRINTS AND GICLEES Available at https://www.propheticsgallery.com/store-warehouse/art_print_products/store-warehouse-fty9rprv10q Creator. Father God. Help me to see my physical body as a living temple where you live. I know that to treat my physical body with respect, love and honor is to respect, love and honor your creation. Amen.
- Even Butterflies Bleed.
Perched on top of the iron nails that crucified our Jesus is a Monarch butterfly. It is said that to see one is a pretty good sign that you are on the right path in achieving your goals. Good to know! When my children were younger, they brought in a cocoon from the garden. A mason jar, grass blades, a stick and a lid with air holes made up its new home. Soon enough a Monarch butterfly emerged from the cocoon releasing a blood red liquid. Science says it was digestive juices but to a child it bled as it was born to live free. This crucifixion cross made up of iron nails, a symbol of hope and rebirth through metamorphosis. Jesus bled. For us to live free. The Native American woman’s ribbon skirt, a symbol of hope and rebirth through metamorphosis. They bled. For their people to live free. All sacred. To our Creator. God. He has seen. He has heard. He promises... Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Out in the western Hills of South Dakota this painting came forth. From my camper I had visions of Native women dancing in a circle to the Great Creator, God. Yep! Ours. The One and only. Some of these beautiful women were wearing a ribbon skirt where others were wearing a jingle dress. All dancing in praise of Our Father. From multiple sources came the prayer over and over again as I was led to paint this. It is called To Bleed. Created in oils in for Our Father at the request of The Holy Spirit who validated it through Luke 11. 1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;... You have me. Until the other side then or at the bakery. Whichever comes first.

- Can you hear it? The sound of FAITH!
As God's chosen king over Israel, David is also the son of God ("I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me...” 2 Samuel 7:14). God entered into an eternal covenant (treaty) with David and his line, promising divine protection of the dynasty and of Jerusalem through all time. It has long been contemplated that the First Nation and Native Americans are of Davids tribe. I beheld an audible vision to paint a dress adorned in jingle cones in a worship dance to God. The original jingle dress dance is said, by the Ojibwa peoples, to have originated through a medicine man's prayer and meditation for a young girls healing as he was given a powerful vision about a sacred healing dress adorned with tiny cornets from the Creator. God. OUR God. Not my God or his God or their God but THEE GOD. And to dance in worship just as in 2 Samuel 6:5 “And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.” This man first made the cornet shaped jingles from chewing tobacco can lids, rolled into cornets and as he bent and rolled each jingle, his faith grew. He prayed for this child who had succumbed to a disease that had already killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide and more than 600,000 in the U.S., including thousands of his fellow Native Americans in 1918 and 1919. When the dress was finished, the women danced for her in prayer to God our Father. And in Gods divine mercy she was healed. It was not the dress. It was not the jingles. They are but tools of the vision. It was by his faith. Interesting that I have been tasked to paint its story during this new pandemic.

- 10 minutes!
I had a vision of ordinary regular doors rising up from the sea. Portals. A means to enter or exit depending on one's perspective. These are the gates that of the Bible's book of the prophet ,Ezekiel, prophesied that the city "the Lord is there" will have twelve gates, one gate for each of the tribes of Israel and that the exiles from both Judah and Israel would return to Palestine and a new covenant would be made with the restored house of Israel, to whom God would give a new spirit and a new heart. I was concerned as I worked on this as it had no verse, no song, and the inkling of a title. But the directions still flowed as to what kind of door and what color to assign it continued. I noticed that there were to be no double doors. All doors were single access only. There were waves yes, but not gentle ebbing waves. There were building waves for a storm is brewing in the distance and the sky is darkening. And after weeks of working on this, the day came when I had a pretty good idea that it would soon be finished. And there came the song! Your Love Has Lifted Me Higher by Jackie Wilson Your love, liftin' me higher than I've ever been lifted before So keep it up, quench my desire and I'll be at your side forevermore You know your love keeps on liftin' higher and higher. I said your love keeps on liftin' me Now once I was downhearted disappointment was my closest friend But then you came and h e soon departed and you know he never showed his face again That's why your love keeps on liftin' me higher and higher ... As I sat down to write the story of this painting called Ezekiels Gates (yay! we have a confirmed title!), a memory is brought forth from when my daughter came over with her family. As our visit would draw to a close she would inevitably give out the warning to her toddlers “10 minutes!” signalling that the time is here to pick up the toys, to find their socks and shoes and to get ready to go home. As with all little ones, procrastinating was inevitable amidst pleas for just one more snack, just “one more minute mom so we can play” and to my heart leap “ mom can we spend the night?” On one particular day the 10 minute warning was met in a giant dose of toddler sheer frustration “I don’t know what that means mom!” Then dad stepped in and got eye to eye level with the frustration and said simply “ it means put your toys away now. Find your socks and shoes and put them on now. It means it is time to go home now. It means that there’s a stop for a treat because you are cooperating.” It all seems to logical and easy. Just do it. Comply. Cooperate. Dad said. And the verse arrived! Thank you Jesus! Ezekiel 3:12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me, “Blessed be the glory of the Lord in His place.” Doors signify communication and agreement. When a door is open, there is communication with God and others. When the door is closed, the conversation is over and the action has been met. Oh but there are thirteen doors illustrated here. There in the corner is an innocuous little wooden door, symbolic of the crucifixion cross and standing on the rock. Jesus, our only open door. In Revelations 3:20 it says " Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." Sooooo...your ship has come in and is waiting. This is your last call for as it speaks in Luke 21 and verse 25 in particular "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;" Oh and the boat... aptly named Carpe Diem. Let Jesus lift you up. He will not let you down. Blessings to you until the other side then.

- Another Day Till Paradise
Give me Jesus give me Jesus. You can have all this world But give me Jesus And when I am alone oh, when I am alone, And when I am alone, give me Jesus Give me Jesus, give me Jesus. You can have all this world but give me Jesus. ~Author unknown. And this is called Yeshua's Cairns. He is your guide. This is the day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad. Stacked rocks, Cairns, along the trail are a marker signifying you are on the correct path and serve as a guide or offer signage to keep you from becoming lost. This is your sign from Yeshua, which is the Hebrew name for Jesus. It means "Yahweh [the Lord] is Salvation. " From Hebrews 13:12 "So too Yeshua suffered death outside the gate, in order to make the people holy through his own blood." As I paint this I hear the song ‘In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus.’ Now for a little backstory! We were sent back to the Black Hills of South Dakota for two reasons; my husbands work of rebuilding bridges and God had more for me to see and pray on. I returned to the Center of the Nation and sadly the windpipe was gone, but that didn’t stop the winds from blowing over the vast prairie or from the Holy Spirit from giving me another assignment. As I stood in this empty place where the green pastures spread out as far and wide as any sea, I lived Psalms 23. 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever .

- The Road Less Traveled. GO!
Isaiah 66:22, "As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me," declares the LORD, "so will your name and descendants endure".Interesting that "The Center of the Nation" in South Dakota is celebrated 22 miles away with an official granite monument in a proper Visitors Center. Obviously more convenient as it is closer to major highways, parking lots, rest rooms, as well as the local pizza joint. I visited the true center known as being " a small metal pole stuck into a pasture, off of a gravel road". Surrounded by sheep. A sea of grass. And a sign lettering YESHUA. But it was the stacked rock holding a rugged wooden cross that brought about the memories. Seems like I've heard this scenario before but it involved a manger. And out here in the the middle of nowhere, I felt like I found my way home. I walked out to the wind pole and listened as I recalled my childhood hearing my gram singing hymn "The Old Rugged Cross". ...On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross The emblem of suff'ring and shame And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged Cross And exchange it some day for a crown Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world Has a wondrous attraction for me For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above To bear it to dark Calvary... 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Yes! There will be a new heaven and earth. Go! Step through the gate. I look forward to seeing you on the other side. And this is The Center. Blessings till then.
