~Branching Out Art & Photography~

I am so humbled and excited at the same time!

There is nothing like pouring your heart into something.



Nothing like creating out of the truths that are unfolding

within your heart.



Truths that you are finally receiving for yourself.

And having others embrace it too

for themselves

These pieces that I created were born out of

the whispers in my own spirit

that were meaningful to me.

My own personal photographs

and words that have been a message to my own heart.

From others, from within, from the Word.



Each of these pieces have found a new home.



A place to speak to another heart.

I love the relationship that forms when the message of something created

speaks to another person's spirit.

It is good to create

and for others

to respond.



The connection is fulfilling to me.

It is good to work hard at something.

And see someone else delight in it.

It is a gift to me from the Lord

that I have experienced in creating these pieces

for others

and in writing the Believe Truth e-course

for others.

There is fulfillment as these projects

that have flowed from the depths

of the Spirit moving in my heart

have gone out to the lives of other people.

Fulfillment is His gift to me

that I have felt over the past year.

As He has given me opporutnities

to speak,

to teach,

to write,

to create,

with love

and passion

for others

to know

that He is

the LORD

and there is

no other.
