"God does not overlook anyone,
including you and me!
He doesn't worry about where you come from.
rather he looks at your heart.
He looks at your desires and
dreams.
He doesn't look back but looks ahead.
He wants to give you a
future
full of
hope."
from The Word Among Us
This was what I read before I went off
to the Art Fair last Saturday.
Art in the Park is an annual
art fair sponsored by the Museum Foundation.
It was my first time to join
and I was so excited ....
and scared too!
But God is soooo good!
Even before the fair started officially,
this nice lady on the right,
reserved one of my larger paintings!!!!
There were so many wonderful paintings!
and even mosaics!
And here I was, a novice!
I felt very blessed the whole time!
So many came and said they thought my work
was beautiful!
I sold 16 paintings and prints in all.
Amazing!
"Only goodness and love and kindness
and faithfulness and peace and generosity...and...
all around wonderful surprises
pursue
me! "
Psalm 23:6
"Think of it:
God's goodness and love
are running after you!
They are chasing you,
hunting you down.
So look for Him as you
go through your day.
Reflect on the events of your day,
and try to find those times
when God's goodness and love
are chasing after you."
Every week I choose one wonderful visitor
who leaves a comment
to receive an ATC from me.
I know it takes so much time and effort
to leave a comment
and I appreciate it soooo much!

You do great work! I love the truth you shared today, that God's goodness is pursuing me, we under his favor! Thank you for sharing! I found you on Hear it on Sunday, use it on Monday. If you are interested here is what was on my heart yesterday: http://seasontheday.blogspot.com/2013/03/uniting-believers.html
ReplyDeleteIt is no surprise that so many people buy your paintings, they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful to finally have a computer. Windows 8 has a few challenges and it has a bilingual keyboard which is a wee bit different. It has been a very long three weeks and I have missed seeing your beautiful artwork.
God Bless you and yours,
