Freedom


E-vin, jake and my's church has started an Art Group. We are beyond excited to share the gifts and talents that God has given us with others in our community. But mostly we love putting our hands to something to bless God and to give Him all the glory. Our first event happened on the Sunday morning just before we flew out to Minneapolis. The Presence of God and the Joy in my heart that morning were immeasureable. I think mostly it hit me during worship, which was done accustically off the stage with a couple guitars and a Djimbe...it was music for the soul. I wanted to post a few pieces of art that various people in our congregation put together for our expression of Freedom. One talented friend of ours wrote a 20 minute drama for the occassion and asked Jake to act in it...(I got to do a voice over. that was fun.) I don't have snaps of everything that contributed to our first art event, but here's a preview.
Enjoy..and Praise God in everything because He is the reason we have Freedom in the first place!This is part of the drama...jake's character struggles with addiction while his friend encourages him to get some counseling, Jake's character chooses to refuse freedom


My amazing friend Susanna choreographed a dance to a song. she's wonderful.



The woman who painted this had never attempted art before. God came through in many ways for her. You never know until you try eh?







This is the ASL sign for Freedom. I thought it came together nicely.

This one speaks for itself. I'll try to add a video, but last time no luck.
oh well. guess the stills will have to do.
