Very first easel delivery & purple butterfly
The day when I got this easel delivered to my door step, it made my day!! I am so blessed and excited to share this life experience with you all! For it was a day of VICTORY!!!
That was the day when I just received my first easel ever as a gift from my lovely husband.
To tell you the truth I was so nervous when I heard the box being delivered, because I was already expecting it.
I opened the door and brought the big box in, but I just couldn't open it the whole day!
When my boys came back from school, my youngest helped me open it, we got it out of the box and set it up.
And there it was right in front of me for very the first time!!!
A dear friend had previously asked me months ago to paint a vision she had, she was praying and God put me in her heart to be the one to illustrate that vision. And right away she contacted me to let me know of her vision experienced and what God had put in her heart. I was so excited about painting it, but was busy for some time and when I finally had the time to do it, I was not feeling it due to discouraging events in the process (2 rejected commissions) so my spirit down, I was saddened by it for some time and I felt incapable of creating anything. But still I attempted to start it but didn't get too far at the time, leaving it incomplete for another few months. . . until last Saturday!!!
I thought if I'm gonna use my very first easel for the very first time, this would have to be the first painting that I want to paint on it, so I did! But little did I know that, that vision and painting was, and still is exclusively for me!!!! In its process of becoming it gave me a life lesson, examining it all while painting, observing and absorbing, listening carefully in my spirit through the frustrating process of getting it right, doing it well. Trying to make sense of it all...
I've struggled with my mind feeling blank at times. Not able to see in the spiritual. And other times when God shows me something, my hands feel unable to depict it. It has been frustrating, but I am still learning, learning to trust Him.
That's when the thought came....
I compare my life story with that of the butterfly: it starts as a caterpillar crawling everywhere. Then it turns into a cocoon, that painful process brings the amazing transformation, it can't skip that process! It is necessary, and if you think about it, it doesn't train flying when in the cocoon there's just no space and has not finished wings yet! But it trains as it performs the first wing flapping ever, it may even be clumsy! It may even fail a few times before its wings gain complete expansion and full strength to get it right, and then suddenly, takes off!!!
I want to be like that and I will, because it is not about my abilities or skills, but about what He can do trough me!! And I am willing!!
God has put a desire that's been burning deep into my heart for a very long time, and here and now, is the time!!! Here and now is when my clumsy little wings expand and gain their strength!!!
When my friend found out that I was working on her vision to finish it after months of neglecting it, her reply was:
"Wow sis! What a powerful testimony. I was recently thinking about my vision and I'm so blessed to be connected to your new beginning.
The butterfly as you know symbolizes;
RESURRECTION,
HOPE,
JOY,
NEW BEGINNINGS,
REBIRTH,
TRANSFORMATION &
CHANGE.
She prayed over me this beautiful prayer:
I declare increased anointing over your imagination & vision, over your hands & paintbrushes. I declare strength in your wings, grace & ease as you soar (paint) and joy in your dance. May you reach heights in your spiritual awareness that you could ever imagine or hope for. Love you heaps my sister. I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece. ❤"
So today I'm sharing with you the finished work, hope it speaks to you as it did to me in the process, may you get a word of CONFIRMATION, a sense of INSPIRATION, or a dose of TRANSFORMATION according to the season of your life and stage your heart is in!
And not kidding but purple is my favorite color!!!! GOD is an AWESOME GOD of POWERFUL CONFIRMATIONS!
GREAT INSPIRATIONS!
& AWESOME TRANSFORMATIONS!
AMEN!!! 🙏🏼🕊️❣️🎶
