Let Jesus Be Your Business Manager!
2009 Art Calendars now available from Red Bubble
Each of us was born with free will and for me personally, all I know is that God gave me this gift of art. Without Him, I could never draw a stick figure. It's exactly how it happened: I just woke up one morning in my forties with the ability to produce art after a year of fervent prayer for God to restore joy and purpose to my life."
The ability to create art is one of the many gifts bestowed upon us by the Creator.
"and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship."
There was no art school in those days. I firmly believe that it's a gift, just like a beautiful singing voice.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. -Andre Gide
If you're a Christian, I hope that this lens will encourage you to strengthen and test your faith by trusting in God and letting Him make those important decisions for you. Only He knows what's best for you and if you allow Him to take complete control, everything will soon become very clear to you.

Even if you're not a Christian, I'm sure you'll find this lens both inspiring and informative. On the other hand, you may choose not to pay any further attention (believe me, I know how the name of "Jesus" totally freaks some people out. I wasn't always a Jesus Freak you know!). Trust me though, He knows what He is doing...He created YOU!

I think it's important to add that never in my wildest dreams did I aspire to be an artist. Never had a lesson in my life. I was just plodding along, doing my usual mundane thing but God changed all that. He had specific plans for me, all I had to do was ask Him what they were.
A Born Again Christian for about 15 years now, I'd prayed fervently for a little over a year and a half (I know, it's a long time but it was well worth the wait) asking God to restore the joy to my life and to give me that "sense of purpose" that we all desire so desperately to have.
God's timing is perfect and He knew that I wasn't ready until finally I surrendered to Him... and trusting in His promise...made the decision to truly give Him complete control of my life.
If you can bring yourself to that point in your faith journey, WELL...sit back and get ready to be totally blown away by what He will do for you!

Hello Ruth,
My son in Las Vegas asked me to take a look at your site.I did and I am impressed and a little shocked.Some of your paintings are almost like his.He has only been painting a little over a year since retiring from the Air Force and I have no idea where he got his talent except it must be GOD given maybe like yourself.His mom and I live in a little area called Oak Level in Virginia.I will be a constant viewer of your site from now on.
May GOD richly bless,
Clarence

Hi Ruthie!
I am trying to figure out how to do this...I know, when you first told me about it I was totally unimpressed. OK, you were right, I was wrong.
Hugs,
Vicky

I have just been blessed. I was doing my new thing on Link Referral and found you. I am exactly where you were. Been praying since Oct. for God to show me what it is I should be doing. Started making my crosses and just recently started selling them. I'm still waiting on that answer from God, but I'm sure it's coming. Was great to see you got your answer!
