They Inspire Me
I have spent the last couple of weeks drawing. I have done over 30 images of women who inspire me by the way they live their lives. They have supported me in all sorts of ways. Drawing all of them has been hard. I have literally worked until I couldn’t look at a computer screen. My eyes grew cloudy and burned continuously late into the night. I have learned how to handle new details of how to make each drawing better. As I learned new things, I had to resist the urge to go back and do it to the drawings I had already completed.
I have written stories about how these women’s lives have pushed me on. It is such a blessing to live in a community where there is good life. You are surrounded by good life, just step outside yourself and see.
This woman here is good at everything she does. She dances. She draws. She helps others. She loves her family. I love watching her life because when it is all said and done, life will be broke and she will be rich. She is using it all.

As I expand my horizons as a visual artist, follow me and see what comes next. I love this adventure.
ART Sale
In June I will have an ART sale. I will print and mat some of these images. Let me know which ones you like.
If You Are Struggling To Hear From God
after some time in prayer, you want to minister to someone else who is struggling. We work best when we work in community. I believe it is the perfect example of how our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit work.
I had some great reminders today as I ministered to some folks. As I encouraged them, I heard God speaking to me. When I first started this journey months ago, I had some real fears. I was afraid of drawing. My heart pounded at the thought. It was something I had never done before and was sure I had not talent for it.
Eight months later, the thing I feared has become my love. I love drawing.
So whatever you are afraid of.
Whatever you think is about to overtake you.
Let it.
It is the thing that is going to bless you the most.
By facing this fear and trusting God, He has blessed me beyond what I could have ever imagined. Stop struggling and go help someone who can’t do anything for you. You will find in those moments, God will speak clearly to you.
Let go and Trust God.
My Praise
For Lent this year I wanted to praise God through my art. It was hard to be creative and get my message across. I used some familiar verses that spoke to me, and some that fell fresh on my ears. Here are some of my favorite pieces.

Everyone Has A Story To Tell
Now is the time to write that book that has been in you. It has been brewing you. You have been toying with the idea of putting it on paper. It is time to share your story and help someone else on the journey.
We were created to share our lives with others to help them along the journey. I have a short time to help someone bring their project together. Contact me and see if you are a good candidate for this. If you are interested email me at uppcreative@yahoo.com
