Lost in the Land of the Flu....

Just a quick post to say,
 Hey!
Sickness has attacked
my oldest daughter and I.
We have been on the sofa
all this past week.
YIKES!!!
We are going to the Dr. today
at 2pm.

THANK YOU for
all the prayers for my mother in-law, Joann.
She has been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor
in one breast. They will be doing
a lumpectomy this week.
She will do radiation  and and
some type of chemo/hormone pills.
We are praying for a full recovery.

Nooo...

in my studio.
Hoping to be well and back soon.
Have a Blessed Week.

A prayer for my Mother Inlaw- Joann, It is an Honor to be a Guest at INcourage...

Hi Friends, I hope spring
is bringing new life and
new hope to you
where ever you are.

We just got home from an 11 hour trip
one way to South East Missouri.
Where the Cowboy's mother
has been diagnosed with
breast cancer.
Unanswered question?
More test!!!
We are hoping to hear something
Monday or Tuesday.
 So please pray for her and our family.

Lord, I lift her up to you,
surround her with your angels.
Lift her spirits when she is feeling
down.
Lift her up when her hope is
falling.
Lift from Joann the spirit of fear
that covers her soul.
Let her see the light of
her faith in you.
In the
name of Jesus Christ.

"I love the Lord, because He hears.
My voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live."
Psalm 116:1-2


ANOTHER STROKE OF
THE BRUSH...

Called...
 I am a Christian Artist



Can you hear the whispering voice of God calling you?
 It takes courage, 
It takes faith...
It takes patience's
 and complete trust in God my Father. 
Believing in the promise that the Holy Spirit is living in me,
 speaking to me.


“Art is a collaboration

between God and the artist,

and the less the artist does the better.

” Quote by Andre Gide
"My Favorite Quote"
 
 I have a  dream...
It is to minister to women through art workshops,
 retreats
 and bible studies.
 God has placed the seed of this dream in my heart and his plan shall prevail.
  
I hope you will stop in
at


Where do you feel you are being called?
A calling is not so much an
action or job...
it is a process
of listening and discerning
God's Voice for you life.

 has given me to use
 and share his love, grace,
 peace and forgiveness."

She Speaks Scholarship, The Contest for a Life Changing Conference...

She Speaks is having a Scholarship
contest. 
AWESOME...
This conference is an opportunity for
Christian women to take their
speaking, writing and ministries to the next level.
Equipping them with the tools they need to
be successful in sharing their vision and passion to
lead women to the heart of Christ.
You can participate too...
You have to get your entry in by March 11, 2011

Oh MY.....
My palms are sweating and my heart is
racing with excitement.
For me this would be the opportunity of a life
time.

 It is my heart felt
belief that this is the next step
I have been praying to God for.
(No Really!)

As you all know I believe we all 
have a purpose and calling to serve
God our Father with our gifts and talents.

When my passion and talent intersect I believe
God is right there with me,
leading me,
speaking to me
and calling me to the
heart of my purpose.
Which is to
 Honor,
Please
 and Serve Him
by serving others and sharing His eternal Love.

This conference is right on target 
with my desire to touch the
lives of women through my writing, speaking and
artwork.

I have been looking and seeking an opportunity
to educate myself and take the next step in my journey.
This step would include using my gifts and talents to
inspire women through art workshops, writing and speaking 
engagements. Encouraging them to develop
a life changing relationship with
Jesus Christ.
I want to share the
joy and purpose that I have found only when
I am seeking the
HEART
of God.

It is my deepest desire to help other women find their,
"sweet spot".
I want to inspire them to come closer than they have every been
 to the Heart of a God who can meet them right where they are.

The "Sweet Spot",
Described best my my favorite author,
Max Lucado
To find your "sweet spot" ---
that place where your passions and talents intersect.
"For a person to really live in their sweet spot, 
they have got to discover the
joy of pleasing and honoring God.
It's less about themselves and more about honoring Him."
"Your sweet spot is that unique combination
of abilities and strengths God has given you.
It's the zone out of which He intended for us to operate,
and in which we're most fruitful.
It's different for every person, and the closer
we can come to understanding our own unique
sweet spot, the more fruitful 
and satisfied we'll be in our work and life..." Max Lucado



I know that I have the ability and talent that God has
equipped me with. I am confident
this is the calling God has placed on my heart.
But all this talent and confidence is nothing if you do not
have the knowledge and tools required to 
succeed in fulfilling your purpose
and getting your message out there.

God is calling me to step outside
my comfort zone.
Nudging me to step outside of my studio.
I hear God's whisper,
"Step out, Reach out to women and trust me to 
qualify you for your purpose."

I have the Passion to
pursue this calling.
I just need the tools to take it to
the next level.
I want and need to be educated on
how I can effectively reach women
with the message God has placed on
my heart. 
 I am honored to be among the many others who
are seeking to serve God.

I want to Thank, Lysa and the She Speaks
community for this awesome opportunity
for a scholarship to attend this
conference.
For me it would be the next step in my journey to
 live my purpose.
For the Glory of God Alone.

She Speaks


ANOTHER STROKE OF THE BRUSH...
The Blessing,
Realizing the Joy it brings our Father God
when we use the talent he has given us.
And the gift of knowing this His truth and the joy
this truth will bring you. 

 God Loves you and me
Unconditionally!

Many Blessing, Deborah
If you quite your mind,
you will hear God
speaking to your heart.
