FAITHWALKER



This is the first piece of artwork I did that opened the doors  to my artworld.
She is a wave breaker who helped me realize...
Who I am as an artist.
Still learning and getting closer 
with each canvas and each poem.
Each piece of artwork is really time spent in His presence 
where His world is way better than any drink, drug or worldly pleasure .
I am so thankful for the visions He gives each moment of my life.
Hope you enjoy...

The righteous man leads a blameless life;
blessed are his children after him.
Proverbs 20:7

WHO IS SHE?


SHE IS HIS.
HER CHILDREN ARE
HIS
AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE HIS.
SHE HAS AN IMPENETRABLE FOCUS
ON THE ONE SHE ADORES.
SHE TRUST IN HIM SO.
THAT SHE "BALANCES" HER LIFE AROUND HIM.
SHE KNOWS THAT HE WILL TAKE HER 
AND HER CHILD TO THE OTHER SIDE
ONE STEP AT A TIME.
SHE DOES NOT PONDER HER SURROUNDINGS
BUT JUST PUSHES THROUGH
FROM GLORY TO GLORY.
HE HAS PROVIDED HER WITH ALL SHE NEEDS
AND WILL NOT STOP.
SHE WEARS A BOWL ON HER HEAD
TO RECEIVE HIS CONTINUAL BLESSINGS
WHICH WILL BE PASSED ON
TO OTHERS WHO COME TO RECEIVE.
HER DEADLY DESERT
HAS BEEN TURNED 
TO HER SEA OF LIFE, HER OASIS.
HER NAKED TREES
HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH HIS GLORY
AND COVER HER 
IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY.
SHE ENDURES.
SHE PRAYS.
SHE LOVES.
SHE IS HIS!


The photographed woman in this picture was taken by Carol Beckwith.  The woman is from an African tribe - The Wodaabe of Niger.   Many who would attempt to walk in their shoes would become destitute and hopeless.  But, instead these people are filled with color and joy. 
The African woman and the photographer are inspirations to me.
Just had to put it into the world in which I see her in.
