a little bit of art

Well, another staff break from work has arrived! KampOut is going really well! God is really doing some miraculous things in lives around here! Today, a little boy, age six, accepted Jesus Christ as is Lord and Savior! It was so unbelievable! It brought tears to my eyes! He is a beautiful creator and it was so coo to witness that first hand today!
This is a story I thought I would share with everyone!

Now, I would like to upload a little bit of art! I have partaken in just 1 art show that was solely my show, but I have also been apart of a few group shows. Send an email to my listed email account if you would like to purchase any personalized works of art!

Above: self portrait-acrylic on masonite board (about 24' by 24')

Above: ink and acrylic on canvas (about 24' 36' maybe)

These are just a few for today so I don't go over the top all at once! These are all paintings! More to come in later posts! 

May the odds be, ever in your favor! Have a blessed day!

Hello again!


I am currently on a night-off during my summer work with Kanakuk Christian Athletic Kamp! I have worked there for two and a half years now and I love it! Check out www.kanakuk.com to learn more information! They began a new kamp this summer called Kamp Out, which is what I am currently working for!
What Kanakuk Does:

• teaches the Bible to children (7-18) and Kamp out is 5-11
• gives an uplifting athletic environment
• healthy competition
• the ability and tools to go out and share God's perfect Word
• and so much more! Check out the site!

Well that is what my Christ sharing life currently looks like! We are studying the book of Esther this summer and the theme is Rise Up--Which is really awesome! We are getting to see God's faithfulness through Esther in the old testiment which has really been awesome!


Today's theme was Rise Up because He Rose for You! We talked about Romans 3:23 (for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God) and Romans 6:23 (For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus). This is SUCH good news! I don't know about you but man, that just gets me fired up! It is a FREE gift! He won't take it back, no matter how much I mess up after I ask Him to be my savior! Woo! 


I encourage all of you to check it out for yourself! Always check what someone tells you out in the Bible for yourself! Just to be safe!


Be encouraged in love today!

Summer Challenge

Hello my fellow readers,

First off, I am sorry it has been so terribly long! Life happens and things get crazy! I will be away from electronics for a good majority of the summer because I work at a Christian summer camp, but I will be updating the blog on my time off! Yay!

Yesterday I had a night of worship and a small talk from Matt Houston, one of the directors at the camp I work at, and it really was a good reminder, or challenge really. So, I am going to share it with you!

This summer I challenge you to pray for what you don't believe will happen. Pray for the unthinkable, the huge. So many times we forget how big God really is, we put him in a small box. We have to remember he is THE creator of everything, and there is no way that could fit into a box. So, the challenge is to not only pray for the tiny prayers but pray big, pray out of your box. And wait and see how He really is big!

I hope you all have a blessed week!
