Then it happened, I had left the most difficult part of the mural as the last and the worst feeling came over me.  I had stopped to take a break and found myself unable to go on, my brain was tired and I was burned out.  It is a feeling that I now recognize as God’s way of moving me on, changing my direction, reminding me of who really is in control. 

I can remember sitting there on the cooler panicking as I looked at the 4 x 5’ piece of blank wall.  As I sat there I began to pray, I prayed for strength to continue, I thanked Him for all that He had allowed me to do in that room and marveled that I was able to capture some of the beauty that I take for granted everyday.  I sat there for twenty minutes admitting that it was only through Him that I would have the strength to continue.

And then it happened; it was like that first warm breeze in the spring.  My energy was refilled; my clarity of the task was as if I had just begun and I finished all that I needed in the final 3 hours.

I thank the Lord for giving me such a wonderful miracle for He continues to show me how real He is to this day.  I have found in my life whether it is my art, my family, my teaching, my sharing of the Lord’s power and love, that with Him at the helm, I have the power and without him I am still sitting on the cooler wondering what happened.
