Prayers


I am especially excited about this project because, Through the years my life has been full of prayer, and I have had a burden of intercessory prayer for others.  I think it is something I inherited from my mother, if you ascribe to the idea that you can inherit spiritual gifts. I do know there has been generations of faithful Christian women, and I'm immensely pleased to be a part of that inheritance.

  • Over the years, many have said that my talent for sculpting is a "God given gift."  That is a huge responsibility.   I pray often for that gift and guidance.
  • Throughout my career, I have done several sculptures of people praying.  Years ago I had a garden sculpture line and created two sculptures of children praying. One was of a little girl, and the other is this one of a little boy praying and peeking up at God
  • One of the first pieces in my God's Word Collectibles line was of two girls praying with the scripture James 5:15 "Pray One For Another." Each sculpture in the series comes with a letter from me saying why this scripture is important in my life. 


Pray one for another...


Confess your faults one to another; 
and pray one for another; 
that ye may be healed. 
The effectual and fervent prayer 
of a righteous man availeth much. 
James 5:16

The praying boy was a part of my life size
garden sculpture series that I created
years ago.
The Card Inside
Pray one for another

Some give simple trinkets to show how much they care,
but the greatest gift we give a friend are simple little prayers.

Spending time before the Lord to petition for a need, 
or crying to our loving God to simply plant a seed. 

Praying for a healing, coming to the throne again,
or praying for a tired soul when hope has all but waned.

Thank you for agreement, “for wherever two or more...”
Through you, and this I now do know 
what friends are put here for.

I can never quite thank you for being there for me, 
lifting up my life to God as you intercede

It’s important that we realize just how much we care
with this special gift given silently in prayer.

OTHER INFORMATION- Generations of Christian women...For the last years of my mom's life I asked her if she would agree to pray with me on a regular basis for the talents that I possess and so that I might know how to  use  them to the best of my ability. She agreed and we prayed, and through that special prayer time many things happened. I grew closer to my mom. She loved the regular meetings and began to depend on them.  Then I asked mom if she would like to podcast. A woman who had a strong ministry but was homebound from her age and illnesses was now blessing people in ways that she could not even imagine.  Mom passed away in 2009. We had even podcasted about the possibility of her death and dying. If you are interested in hearing more about mom's ministry and the Generations podcast where three generations of Christian women shared their thoughts about different issues and aspects of life check out the host bio page or the 5 years of podcasts.
