Worship Art

As soon as we got back from CA, I was asked to paint again during the worship segment of both morning services. I agreed to, but then the night before wondered why I did =)
I get quite nervous because of the time constraints and again needed to exercise faith to believe that I could do anything worthwhile in approx. an hour of painting (from start to finish). I believe the Lord wants me to do this, even though I'm not "comfortable" doing it. (Who is comfortable with what God calls them to do? Then I would be able to do it in my own strength!)
I have found that it's only when we step into the Jordan that it parts, or get out of the boat that we walk on the water. So by faith I did it, and of course God was so very faithful as usual.

(Crazy? Maybe - See my explanation in the archives of this blog under "A New Day Dawning" on Jan 4th, my first worship art experience)

"BREAKTHROUGH" Acrylic on canvas 30" x 24"

Here is the painting that I did during the service. Only a few days before, Sean, Al and I hiked up to these falls (Vernal Falls) and wittnessed the great power and majesty of it all.

I called it "Breakthrough", as waterfalls speak of breaking through the hard and difficult places, through the power of God only, at work in our lives. Scripture says that God is the Fountain of living waters (see Jer.2:13, 17:13).

The sermon which followed had to do with stepping out, and letting God's power work in and through us - "Step out and find out" as my friend says =) On Sunday I did!
