Spriritually Speaking:
As I mentioned before, the past months have been quite dry, especially as an artist. Even so, the growth has been rich and steady...like a horse with blinders on simply pulling the plow. I have placed one foot in front of the other, not knowing why or how, not even seeing where, only that God is guiding forward.
Times of trial, I know, are some of the most precious in the development of a Christ-like walk. I hope you recognized it in your own life: He is able to break down every part until I stand humbled to the core. Then He addresses issues that need cleaning in me, asks me to give them to Him completely. He then builds up new tools and training, and then when the time is right He will send me out renewed, refreshed and much more able to serve in what I am created to do.
A cherished friend told me recently: “It takes great courage to stand and wait when others are doing.” So, I wait. I answer phones as many hours in a week as I can handle, and I wait with held breath to see what our Great Lord Almighty has in store!
So, What Now...?
Ahhhhhhh!! The question that has plagued my mind for almost a year now! Only God knows the full story, but I can share the little I DO know for now:
I understand the website is far behind on updates. My sincere apologies go to each one of you as I have not been able to tend to it as needed. Please DO look forward to changes soon!
I am anxiously awaiting the promised change and fresh direction with Great Expectations! "See! Do you not perceive it? I am doing a new thing!?" God is at work and He is in control over every aspect. Money has been a tight issue and in spite of the fact that SOMEHOW God meets every bill in each month, I still find my tears staining the bills! He IS in control. And I thank Him!
Preparations are underway:
You will find the FINAL page to this letter will give you the details of the coming Spring/Summer work tours that are planned! PLEASE, PLEASE read the short letter as YOUR help fundraising is desperately needed to make them happen ASAP! (Donations are easy, secure & quick to make online! www.beyondwordsMIME.com/donations) THANK YOU!!
In Conclusion for today…
The Lord bless you and keep you each one, I pray for YOU that this 2008 would be full of amazing wonders, awesome moments, and the treasures of God's heart be showered onto each part of your being. He loves you and oh my, SO DO I.
Thank you for your time. Please stay in touch, pray with me and we shall see the Lord's work together! All the best,
