Sunflower Art


Simply


excited


to share


new


art


with you . . .

Truly.
What you believe, is how you will live.
That is how important belief is.
What you believe about yourself, about others, about life.
You will live the truth of your belief.
Sometimes I have to stop, take a breath, and ask myself,
"What am I believing today, in this moment?"
And then ask myself this question,
"Is this thought that I am believing true?"
"Am I going to choose to believe this, or something else?"

We all believe something.
It might as well be true.



Hold out your hands

to feel

the

luxury

of the sunbeams.

~ Helen Keller ~


Better is one day in your courts
than thousands elsewhere. . .



For the Lord God is a sun and a sheild . . . Psalm 85



I found this sweet little childrens song
in my great-grandmothers hymnal ~
"Jesus wants me for a sunbeam"

  11. Gorgeous artwork, and I love your words about belief, they are so true. I can see with the journey that I have been on over the last six months that a lot of my beliefs hamper me. Making the choice to believe what is true takes a lot of hard work, but it is so worth it.
