"Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear it's cries. - Dallas Willard, Renovation Of The Heart."

It takes courage to pursue our dreams. It takes time and patience to unearth buried treasure. But I believe with all my heart that we must do both.

This is my second post. I go to your blog after my quiet time each day to see how you are encouraging us in the Lord. I live in Newnan and so wish I knew how to see your work in person. Do you sell it at shows or in a shop? The Lord is using you. Keep bringing Him glory through the creative way He designed you.

So Mary, you really do encourage me and bring inspiration with your painting style and heart. I do believe you've overcome the fear thing when it comes to putting your imagination on canvas and doing it as an outpouring of joy from your heart. What a wonderful way to be. Can you reach through the screen and show me how to do that?

Smiles,
Lee Ann

Martha Lever said...

Thanks so much, Mar! This class is so much fun. I love Sharon's paintings and it fun to watch her paint.
hugs oxox

Martha Lever said...

Hey Mar! He He ...:))) You're so funny ...are you thinking of a mosaic? If so that would be a neat thing to do! I just am not sure how people do those things. There has got to be an easy way. Maybe Flickr does it. I am in Greenville right now and we might get some snow up here today. Papa Chaunce is flying in to Charlotte tomorrow and I SO hope he get here! Stay warm! oxox
