hAPPY nEW yEAR!!!

Well, it's been a while since posting anything.  The Christmas time here in Howick is one of celebrating with family and friends, chilling (the church office closes for the week between Christmas and New Year) and enjoying the South African summer - yes, this year it's been sweet!  It's been a time of relaxing and refreshing, recharging the batteries, letting the dust of the year settle.  In all this I've often thought through the creative process, tried to get some fresh perspective for the new year, creatively speaking.  Visiting Galleries and seeing art always inspires.  The urge is there to paint, but I'm in that place of waiting for the "one" to paint, sketch etc.  It will come, it's exciting.
Much has been said about 2012, films produced galore, theories galore.  For me, I'm going to be an "opportunity seeker".  There is a call of our Father to rise in Godly authority, to overcome things like compromise, to remain pure and holy.  Also to remain in His Presence and to draw from His love!  My prayer for you on your journey is that you will press into Father God like never before, stay close to Him no matter what, remain pure so that you may behold His face entirely, and be a grace carrier - bless you abundantly!!!!
My prayer for you is that you reach fresh heights creatively.  Let the father provide for you, speak your dreams and visions into being, let the puzzle pieces come together.  I pray for such breakthrough in your life.  Right now I feel such love from the Father for you, such compassion.  Let that drive you forward and enable you and overflow through your art.
Those of you who write songs and poetry, I see you picking up your pens again, and through your words, brining much healing for yourself and others.  many have laid aside their giftings. It's time to rise again.  No matter what has happened, repent, make right with God and others, be restored and move on into fresh glory!  It's not a time for holding back.  BLESS YOU!!!!
