THE VICTORY - I"M ALL FIRED UP


While reading "The Torch and the Sword" by Rick Joyner, I took a big-----mmmmm gulp and accepted the fact that I was to be a torchbearer. Seems a bit scary, but hey, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me----- RIGHT??? Anyway, one thing that REALLY 'makes my baby jump' is seeing what God has going on in other places (particularly in the Arts). So, one night I was surfing the web and found some metal wall pieces...and commented to my husband that it would be cool to make that kind of stuff. SO GUESS WHAT.....I just got a late mother's day present.........and yup.....it's a torch, goggles, and some metal. I can hardly wait to get started. Of course I'll need the help of my hubby to fire up the torch and all.

And, I have to testify that I was nursing the baby to sleep tonight and normally I would have turned on the tube to occupy my mind, but I decided to talk to the Lord and he gave me an image for a metal piece. I'm stoked! He also gave me clarity on two different silk pieces that I'm to make for some other folks. SO, if you want to veg in front of the tube, you just might miss what God wants to say.

Blessings friends! Love ya!

Above is a piece entitled "Victory". It's Jesus laughing in front of a river of blood, created by foam covered in two different types of cloth. The center panel of the tryptych is a satin and the outer pieces are a textured matte finish material. The painting of Jesus laughing is by Ralph Kozak. "The One whose throne is in heaven sits laughing" Psalms 2:4, check the beginning part of Ps 2 and you'll see it talks about enemy trying to mess with the saints, and our Jesus sits enthroned laughing!! YES, YES, YES --- WE R VICTORIOUS. This pc is like 4' x 6', I got the poster size pic at Praise Prints online. www.jesuslaughing.com

Blue Mountain - Thoughts from on High

GOD's all about UPGRADES
Whew, what a trip.............my last computer died, and now I'm working with one much better...yee ha..................so it's been awhile.

God is up to something, and I'm really trying to tune in! A friend and me are considering trying out for something *amazing* tomorrow............we'll see how HE leads. Maybe it's just a divine appointment to evangelize to some peeps in line. That would be cool enough. Hey, I just want to see Him glorified and praised on the tube. it's fun to dream.


I'll be painting some more flags here soon...............it'll be great to break out the silk again. I think I'm finally getting things under control here at the homefront............thank you JESUS!

To Love Him is to Obey Him.........

ok, Lord, how'm I gonna do this??? You want me to start this silk painting business now?? You know I have 3 kids you want me to homeschool right? Alright Lord, well......here goes then.

Our first public appearance, well, I wasn't there, but Blue Mountain Ministries was represented by my dear friend Keri K. at the Annual Dance Celebration by Chenaniah Studio for the Ministering Arts in April 2006. Thankfully, there wasn't a flood of orders and I trust that God orchestrated the precise amount of exposure He wanted. Well friends, here I am with my 3 little girls, Danielle (5), Madison (4 next mo.) and baby Christian Joy (5 mos) on location in Ocean City, Maryland. Inducted into the flag, banner and prayer cloth making "business" by our Maker, I humbly present my gift to the Body.

......whatcha gonna do with a God like this? (Check the Luker's for that tune) You just gotta do what you hear Him telling you to do, whether the timing makes sense or not.....we just trust and obey, there's no other way......you remember that hymn.

Anyway, this is the start of further outreach..........I have no idea how to create a webpage, but I saw this blog deal and figured what do I have to lose on this.

Blessings to you!
love,

Declare His Majesty
for HE IS GLORIOUS!!!

The least I can do is obey what He is telling me to do...........HE has brought me out of the miry clary, put my feet upon a rock, and now I KNOW!! Praise Him for His Excellent Greatness! Praise Him in His Mighty Expanse.

Taste and See that HE is GOOD!
