No need to be perfect or find financial embellishments to feel fulfilled and successful.

Your talent/s explode in expression, no matter what form they take. Always exploding to the glory of God.

I too sometimes wonder if I had been obedient early on - what God could have done with me - but I'm happy to start from NOW and continue to minister using my God given gifts. Thank God He never gives up on us...<br />We are indeed the oil that brings light into the world!God Mission Possiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816994830182436771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432903033078402293.post-83678791733579387342011-12-17T13:02:37.871-07:002011-12-17T13:02:37.871-07:00Vonnie, I agree it is sometimes frustrating to be ...Vonnie, I agree it is sometimes frustrating to be so close to our dreams only to see them shattered. You are also right, someday we will know the reason behind it all and I have a hunch it will be more amazing than we can visualize.

I griped and complained during the years of color clinic and basic stuff, but it has paid off. I am happy to share what knowledge I have, John. A lot can be shared through our internet connection. Blessings to you and your creative endeavors. You already have a wonderful gift of art in your drawings. Those are beautiful renderings.Cecilia Marie Pulliamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155201232666678307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432903033078402293.post-14684988729138519412011-12-17T12:54:31.548-07:002011-12-17T12:54:31.548-07:00Thank you too, Lorna.

So ...In some ways my life so mirrors yours Cecilia. So often in the midst of frustration I have asked God the question-Why? Why did He bless me with abilities and talents,which appear to achieve nothing?<br />But, as you rightly say, what He has given us is to share, not necessarily sell.<br />One day all our question will be answered, and I pray we will see the fruit of our work. <br />I don't want to be like the man who was given one talent and buried it. I want to use all that I am and have for Gods Glory.<br />Thankyou for this wonderful encouraging post. <br />You are a brilliant artist and a beautiful lady.YILeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313259784475975839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432903033078402293.post-4242324757275258992011-12-17T09:42:34.311-07:002011-12-17T09:42:34.311-07:00What a beautiful life lesson, Cecilia.

Your writing, lovely fine art, are so beautiful, I only wish you could tutor me as I wish to create more realistically, I have not ever captured realism like you do. But you are an inspiration for sure, Cecilia. And your message is so selfless and wonderful.
