Watch your thoughts,

They define your words.

Watch your words,

They define your actions.

Watch your actions,

They define you habits.

Watch you habits,

They define your character.

Watch your character,

It defines your destiny.

My whole being, Praise the Lord.

I will praise the Lord all my life;

I will sing Praises to my God

Another Stroke of the Brush...

Seeds, Petals & Scripture Titled

"Son Shine Blooms"

The Yellow flowers represent the light of Jesus

coming into the world to serve and teach the truth.

The abundance of flowers is representational of us living in 

truth and the abundance we receive when we sow seeds in Faith.   

Enrich you soul with healthy thinking.

Meditate on the living word of

Jesus Christ.

The Power of Faith.....

Matthew 21:21-22

"Jesus answered, "I tell you the

truth, if you have

faith and do not doubt, you

will be able to do what I did

to this tree and even more.

You will be able to say to this

mountain, 'Go Fall into the sea.'

And if you have faith,

It will happen.

If you believe, you will get anything

you ask for in prayer."

Faith needs to be more than just

a Sunday event.

Love and serve the Lord

in your faith and

receive the abundance

only He can give.

More Than Enough, New Beginnings... Seeds, Petals and Scripture

Hey blog Friends, I have been working on a

series of watercolor paintings I am calling

Seeds, Petals and Scripture.

Over the next few weeks or months

I will share 1  0r 2 each new post.

Some I have probably posted before.

 I began these paintings because I started to think about how God

plants seeds in our souls...

seeds of hope...

seeds of healing,

seeds of dreams.

and so on......

It is about a process or a purpose , a planting, a nourishing and in the end

it's about a beautiful 

BLOOM!

 Our Spirits!

Original Watercolor Titled, "Field of Blooms"

In this watercolor you will see small specks of paint from a technique called

spattering, this represents the seeds all arround us.

 The blue sky represent the need for sunshine and a savior, Jesus.

The blooms reprsent the the spirit within blooming when it filled with the Holy Spirit.

Paul sowed seeds of God's words to the people of Israel,

Seeds of Hope, Seeds of Trust...

Romans 15:13

"I pray that the God who gives hope will fill

you with much joy and peace while you trust in him

Then your hope will overflow by the power

of the Holy Spirit."

Another stroke of the brush

Okay, God...

Soooo whats next?

How will you use me?

Where will you use me?

Are ya gonna use me?

Because I know you don't truly need little old me,

 a stay at home mother of 4,

with a desire to paint and serve you!

I"m just a needle in a hay stack of believers.

What can you possible use me for!

One believer...

One quite voice...

One mere mortal...

The Big Question???

Why have you placed this nagging desire within me?

Only to make it so hard to figure out the next step...

could you just call me up and say,

Hey, Deborah... Here is what I want you to do...

 I Pause..........

I Pray...........

 I am trying to be Patient.......

Directions please...

As I sit here looking out my window I can only see

a couple 100 feet or so...

It is super foggy here.

And that is exactly how I am

Feeling.

Foggy

Frustrated

 One step at a time, without seeing past the

fog...Is that the message?

A message of trust.

Because even though it is foggy I

do know whats out there in that

field just past the fog.

I have seen it on a million sunny days,

(okay maybe not a million)

I trust it is still there beyond the fog.

I do know this, God is also

there...

Just like he has been a million

times before...

He has given me more than enough...

More than enough signs,

More than enough answered prayers,

More than enough blessing.

More than enough Holy Spirit moments...

Moments when I truly know

 without a doubt

Jesus is right beside me,

right within me...

A tingling, a warmth and a indescribable moment

when I can truly feel his presence.

A persistent feeling I am right where he needs

me and saying just the right thing to someone

who needs to hear just the right thing...

And thinking Hey,

Where did that come from?

NOT ME!!!

There have been times in my life when I trusted no one.

I have experience deceit and lies, times when

what I believe to be truth was not.

But, the truth in my experience does always

reveal its self in time.

And whether we choose to believe it

or not trust surrounds us everyday,

even when we don't think we are capable of  trusting

We trust the other drivers to stay on their side of the road,

We trust the time on your watch or cell phone.

We trust the can of soup we are about to open

is safe to eat.

And I trust God does have a plan and a purpose for me.

And a purpose for each and everyone of us.

So I will wait and trust without seeing what is

waiting for me on the other side of the fog.

May you also trust God,

with your doubts,

your fears,

and all your worries.

At the foot of the cross we are all equally loved.

Romans 8:31

"What then shall we say to this?

If God is for us, who can be

against us?

He who did not spare his own Son

But handed him over for us ALL,

 how will he not also give us

everything else along with him?

Who will bring a charge against God's

chosen ones?

It is GOD who Equips us."

My thoughts:

 If then God equips us

with all we need to flourish,

 through his Son

 and with his enduring love.

Are we not called to

see that others are equipped

also.

Reach out,

Reach within,

Reach your arms

arround someone

who needs the

Love God. 

As much as I love my own

children, I believe it is nothing

compared to the Love

 God has for his children.

For I can truly say

with all my heart and soul,

I could not hand over even one

of my children,

for the sake of another.

I would surly give my own life, 

before giving the life of one of my children...

How awesome is this LOVE?

Everlasting,

Eternal,

Enduring

&

Never Changing...

Share this love with others and help them to

become equipped in the love of GOD.

 Receive this love by Grace through Faith.
