It started with a whisper...

Last spring, at our church, I went to a class called Create.  It was based on a book called Born to Create by Theresa Dedmon.  It has changed my life.   God released into me a desire and ability to paint, which I never had before.  The desire of my heart is to draw near to God and to listen to his whisper, that still small voice, which directs me and guides me, gives me visions and shows me how to transfer them to a canvas.  I have chosen this painting as my cover as it is so dear to my heart.  One morning as I was sitting on my porch spending time with God, I looked over the tree line of my porch and saw a bird flying in the sky.  I painted this that morning.  It is called "Come Away With Me".  It is a reminder of God beckoning me to come spend time with him each day. 
He said to me: Come away, come away, come away with me, my child.
I responded: I will come away, come away, come away with you, my God.
He said: Run away, run away, run away with me, my child.
I responded: I will run away, run away, run away with you, My King!
