Art Together!

One of the biggest blessings for me, is to be able to help others in some form or another.
Being able to do this with my art, is the best!! I am amazed
at the opportunities God gives me to donate my art so others
can go out and share His love with the world.

Recently, my daughter Lizz and I combined our creative talent
giftings, her awesome photography and my paintings and jewelry,
and had a benefit sale at our church to for two Sundays
in a row. All the proceeds went to help with her expenses on her
journey with YWAM. She is going to be trained as a team leader,
then actually lead a team in one of the programs called "Call to
All", then for three months, go with that team on an outreach mission
to some overseas country.

For her, it is her calling at this juncture in her life, and for me, to be able to use my talents to help her get there,
well, there's not much else more satisfying.

Our church, RiverLife Fellowship, was so generous and bought most of our art!! I am amazed to see how when
you step out and go with what the Lord leads you in, His faithfulness is overwhelming!!

Lizz leaves in one week. I will be so excited to see what amazing things happen for her in the next few months...

but am going to miss that girl so very much.

Adventures=Treasures!!

One of the most wonderful things is stumbling upon an awesome find. My son Chris and I went out today and found this road we've never traveled on hidden back in the woods, so we did some exploring. We ended up at this cool old barn where we thought we would give ourselves a self-guided tour. Oh the wonders we found!!!

There were old bottles galore and with no "No Trespassing" signs anywhere insight, we thought the mice wouldn't mind if we took a few home. Some were old 1 gallon jugs.
Here I found a very old "Par T Pak" wooden crate with most of the bottles still in it.
Here's such a cool shot of the wooden crate and bottles, adorned my by the weather beaten barn. Simply picture perfect!!

I absolutely love adventures and what they surprisingly bring!!

I can't believe I have a blog spot. I've finally joined a large portion of the world, and am going to let it be known, what I've been up to! This, is kind of scary. But here I go!!

I am an artist. That, when it comes out of my mouth, sounds so wonderful. I have always loved art and doodled on most everything that came to rest in front of me. But not until this past year, I became what is know as "The Working Artist".

I am a Christian. My love for the Lord, and the wondrous words that He shares with me, hold a high place in my heart. When he tells me..."Your art will change the world"...I first laugh, then when it starts to unfold doing just that, I BELIEVE IT!! This is where the name "bordersBEgoneART" came from. I truly believe that my gift was given to me, to help people go out into the world and share the love of Jesus. He has given me countless opportunities to create a work of art, and the proceeds given for that very purpose. I consider it a joy and an honor.

As I continue this blog spot, I will hopefully be sharing all what that looks like. I'll be getting picture posted of my art and the things I've been drawn to create. It all is very unique and reflects my love for the things on this earth, and who I am...but that's another blog all in itself.

I pray you will be blessed...as I am, to be able to do something that I love, and help others along the way.
