John 3:16
For God so loved the world (that's us), that He gave his only unique Son (that's Jesus), that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

The reason I paint is because I believe when I place a part of myself into a painting, I am reflecting the heart of my Creator. I paint out of love for beauty, goodness, and truth because that is the message He has given me through a relationship with Him. It isn't because I deserve anything but because I have responded to the greatest act of love anyone has ever done. And it wasn't just for me. Jesus paid the ultimate price and paid for everyone's sin if they are willing and open to accepting it. Through God's grace that is what I have done and because I'm believing in Him I know that heaven is not something that only happens when this life is over but it is beginning now. That is why I paint. I want to share that hope with everyone!

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13 

A simple prayer that I've said many times throughout my life is this:
"Dear Lord, I ask your forgiveness for my many sins. I know that I've chosen my own way and hurt you, others, and myself. Please forgive me. Thank you for your forgiveness and I believe in you as my Savior. I surrender my life to you and ask for your help in believing and trusting in you. Thank you Lord

Some steps to understanding the heart of your Creator

1. Get a Bible and read His Word (I personally like Psalms and the book of John)
2. Talk to your Creator on a regular basis (Prayer is simply talking to the One that loves you most)
3. Listen to praise or worship music that tells the truth of His goodness and love
4. Get involved with a church or fellowship of believers so that you are encouraged in your journey of faith
​5. Ask God for and find ways to serve and encourage others
