A New Day a New Way

This is a hard. I have so much to give to you Lord. It is hard to let go of my boys, my business, my life. This is what I want to do. Why is it so hard.

Cover them with your healing. Fill in the spots that are rough and weathered. Restore them to wholeness. Build their confidence in you. Break the will to be in control, in charge. Let them open their ears to hear and see authority and give them the wisdom and courage to follow direction. Break the avoidance. Help them press into their fears with you and not avoid them with defiance. Wrap them up with your peace while they are away, protect them and bring them back filled with your joy.

When I got started on the exhibit it was Fall 2002. I prayed that the Lord would reveal the number of paintings and the scipture that I would dive into. We had been at Gateway for one year and I was sitting in the auditorium soaking up John Burke's words of experience and wisdom. He said, "if you are ready to get close to Jesus reading His word is the best way. Read either the Gospel of Mark or John." That was it. After church I opened up my Life Applic...
