I started this painting five years ago in tribute to my Dad. He loved orchids. I have tried and tried to grow them and have never had much luck except to barely keep them alive for a while. I finally finished it this past April.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1
I have the free will choice to choose.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Every time my anxiety flares, my doubts and fears creep in and I find myself struggling in some way. I find that I am giving myself over to bondage and the worries of this life. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
It takes time and grace to work though it. When I can bring it back into perspective and remember Jesus is on the throne (such a good service Sunday) all of it fades away.
To remember to live like I have been set free. To choose life.
The whole business of serving God becomes simply a matter of adjusting yourself to the pressures of existing conditions – Hubert Van Zeller
My name is Julie, I love cowboy boots, food, art, and all things vintage. Married to Sean, a talented, hard working man (who can build anything I draw out for him) we have three children, two boys and a girl. I thank God every day, the ways He is revealed to me through them is astounding. My passion, the reason for this blog...developing the gifts God has given me, sharing what he lays on my heart through painting, and turning useless junk and forlorn furniture into something fabulous.
