Olive Tree Blessings L137

Write the song, God kept saying. As I finish this prayer for the world, we walk the people into faith. Faith is Home. Home is Faith.

When I was painting in God’s Creation at a Farmer’s Market in Mishawaka, Indiana, I had the sunflower painting in the works with the people and simultaneously creating mini miracles for everyone who came to see. After all, Jesus says, Come and See. Jesus also says that He already won and to not be troubled. He takes it further to say, Feed my People. What do we need to feed the people? Truth of Christ Jesus being the Song.

While painting the mini miracles, a man the Lord sent me asked for Victory. I gave it to him with my faith. God always says, Foam It. Faith of a Mustard Seed. After that, while sitting and painting I heard the cardinals getting my attention and knew someone important was standing behind me, watching me paint. Sure enough, a little girl and her Mother. I immediately got up and went to the table I had set for miracles to take place with my Spiritual Gifts of color and prayer and writing. I began to paint with the little girl and speak of The Legend of the Egg, the Resurrection of Jesus but not just from what I heard or read, no. I began to tell her the story of the Red-Winged blackbird, the Hope that was broken all across humanity, St. Monica and how Mary Magdalene professed her faith of the Resurrection turning the egg in her hand, red. After all of this, the little girl looked at me and gave me the greatest gift of all. She opened her hand, put it before me and showed me a purple egg.

We color Easter eggs because of Mary Magdalene. We know Christ because of Mary Magdalene. We know love because of Mary Magdalene. May she speak to you as she has spoken to me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

As I finish up this painting for God and to God, I see the journey of faith for women and their babies. Those had to be walks that felt unbelievable at most times, if not for every moment. My job is to help lift their crosses so they are not so heavy. Book of James. I thought about their walk of repentance and how them coming down the mountain would look. The right side. The right way is to walk in faith so took the color that represents faith to me, purple and painted their leftover shadows into it. By doing so, starting with the left over shadows and moving it upward I see the purple egg. So many people are drowning and God doesn’t want that for us. He wants us to be loved and to love one another. We have to be gentle and wise in our love for eachother. We are not to fix people, we are to lead them to Jesus. The safest way in my opinion is without words. We let people walk their walk but we can and do lift them up with prayer and spiritual gifts. Romans Chapter 12. Our duty is to serve. Our duty is to love. Our duty is to walk in love, light and unity. Our duty requires gentleness, inclusivity and acknowledging it is not us that saves people but our faith that God will through love. His Love. The L is God’s Love. Create boldly in faith. Watch God Work. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
