"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

- Ephesians 3: 17-19

Daily Burden Entry: Cindy's New Art Class

"As I watched these women struggling with the clay I saw determination , the willingness to try something new, humility, frustration, and even a touch of despair. I thought of what they must have been through in their lives that brought them to this place, a shelter for battered women and their children. And I was humbled. What do I know of struggle? Nothing compared to them." - Cindy

Ladies' Bible Study @ The Gallery

This past Thursday, June 3rd, the Thursday Night Ladies' Bible Study group came to our Gallery!! It was such a fun night. We had 29 ladies there, and we borrowed folding charis from the church and had light refreshments. Everybody was given a piece of clay, and Cindy was blessed to share her testimony.

The parking lot was full!

The Gallery was full!

And Abraham, our gallery dog, was on hand to greet our guests.
Lots of shopping, laughing, talking, and sharing.

Thanks to everyone who came. It was such a blessing!

Adventures in Christ: "On time and on target"

"As we were about to leave, I just mentioned as an aside, "Oh, I'm an artist." This is where things got exciting! Her eyes got HUGE and said "What did you say?? You're an artist??" I nodded yes and she flung open the bottom half of the door and almost drug Pam and I into her office. She repated again with great intensity and increased volume, "YOU'RE AN ARTIST?" Pam started chuckling, which made me laugh (Pam has an very contagious laugh). At this point another woman stepped into the office, and Nora exlamied "LEAH! SHE'S AN ARTIST!" Leah's eyes bugged out as she looked at me and back at Nora. Both their mouths were hanging wide open. Pam and I were laughing pretty hard now, and they started laughing too. I still had no idea what was going on, but I sensed it was pretty cool."

"Sing to God, sing praise to His name,

extol Him who rides on the clouds,

His name is the LORD,

rejoice before Him!"
