"Free to Fly"
12" x 18" pastel on Canson paper
January 1st, 2017
Today I kept having my attention drawn to sparrows. It kept coming up and then a friend suggested I "go paint something."
I've been doing a series of things in the Lord's hands, so I thought, I will paint a sparrow in His hands. At first I was going to paint the bird sitting timidly in cupped hands, but then I came across this image and it really blessed me.
Instead of the sparrow being cuddled in a position of fear, I loved how it was spreading its wings and ready to fly. So much confidence!
The Bible says we don't have to worry, and we don't have to fear, because we can trust God. He knows when a small sparrow falls to the ground, and the Bible reminds us how much more important we are to Our Heavenly Father.

When God first called me to ministry, He spoke a lot about flying. There was a song he used to minister to me by Jonathan David Helser. I will include it here. One of my spiritual fathers, Ken, is Jonathan's dad, and he had encouraged me to step out into ministry. He had written to me about facing my fear, getting my wings...and flying.
I remember sitting in my car during my lunch hour when I used to work full-time, and hearing this song. Weeping with fear…
Knowing God was asking me to step up and out!
My sincere prayer is, everyone who sees this painting and reads the testimony will step off the edge and fly without fear this year!!!
God has you!!!
