If there is anything to know about me upon collaboration,
here are some guidelines.
Every inquiry must be with respect.
I take my time and my values serious so every “yes” and “no” is intended to be.
I love people and I truly love to be of good influence.
Serving for a positive impact and mindful with my words;
to be intentional with every little detail can make such a difference.
Words are powerful, they can inspire a broken spirit
or they can destruct a fragile emotion down to dust..
There is intention behind inserting scripture all over this website,
because words truly are that powerful especially when they are the truth.
And the word of God is truly sacred, in my years of living, his word is all that I have found to be true. The scripture is shared in a way that you could hopefully relate and understand how practical it is written for our every day life. A small contribution in hope and prayer that you insert little by little through your days,
and see the goodness of God for yourself.
Nothing to harm you or offend you in any way.
I didn’t come from reading the Holy Bible, but I do now, so my intention in sharing the gospel is to share it with those that may have never heard it before either.
For me, I like to use my life for good, my words for good, my artwork for good, my presence for good. Anything I say “yes” to, I do so for the good of it. If I say “yes” to custom artwork it will be with intention, for my time is well invested and never wasted. I honor every detail because God has been teaching me the importance of doing so.
If I say “yes” to leadership or community opportunity, I am always going to offer honest advice. I have grown to show face as who God made me to be and show honor to every opportunity at hand. If I say “yes” to writing or poetry,
I am always going to speak and communicate carefully, respectfully and effectively.
If my answer is “No”, it has been well thought out; I may not be available to offer my focus or time at the moment. All of this is to say,
this Gallery of faith based and inspired artwork is very intentional
and just the start of something that will be forever growing.
If you’d like to collaborate with an opportunity, feel free to contact me.
THE SERENITY PRAYER.
In all truth, this prayer is not found in the Holy Bible because it is not scripture, but a prayer. Written prayerfully by a theologian, and adopted in the meetings and the suffering cries of members that made up Alcoholics Anonymous. That is where this prayer met my lips too, reading the first book I ever committed to, Alcoholics Anonymous. This prayer has now become simply a whisper on the tongue when I come across tough moments of emotion. Before this, it was a cry and a plea for God to grant me the Serenity, Acceptance, Courage, and Wisdom to get through the next 24hrs. But, guess what, now they are merely moments and no longer hours nor days of suffering addiction. Salvation is the gift that keeps on giving, and miracles happen for you to share your witness that you truly seen one.
I’ll leave this prayer here for you to meditate on, and when you find yourself in the moment to speak it aloud, Pray on.
“ You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Prayer can be unfamiliar, difficult, overwhelming and sometimes just foreign. The power of prayer though, that is something that will always be evident. I know at church, the call to the altar can feel like you're on display. And to ask for prayer can be more vulnerable than you would ever prefer to be face to face. So, if you would like to request for prayer for whatever you are facing. This prayer will be between you and God. I will just be in intercession.

MATTHEW 5:14 ESV
Did you know that if you speak scripture out loud, it will calm your anxiety? Just try it love…
The Lord Is My Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
PSALM 23 ESV
An Ode To My Lord
My Dear Friends,
To be honest, my forgiven sins are enough to keep me humble for the rest of my lifetime. I owe my life to Christ. Lord only knows that I had my grace period to live life at my own will and suffer at my own hands. That life, and those decisions as foolish as they were, taught me all I needed to know about the world. Those sins could have killed me, and because they didn’t my life belongs to the Lord. He saved it. That who saves it is worthy to claim it.
If you find something of repurpose, perhaps in the garbage or cast to the side… Don’t you too, pick it up, take it home, wash it from it’s uncleanliness? Don’t you picture all it could be and then you make all the efforts to restore it to that perfect image? Surely you make room, a designated home for what you have just restored. A perfect place to put those efforts, a mantle or perhaps a lampstand. A place of witness, where others can observe, learn, take note, be inspired and be in AWE at the work you’ve done? To let others observe what your eyes had imagined. Maybe that which you had put all your efforts into was treasure all along. Maybe it was just in the wrong hands and ended up mistreated. In all the wrong places, at all the wrong time. But what a thing of beauty to let others see what only you had the will for, and took the time to do with the lost treasure you’ve found.
Well, there it is, as simple as can be. Not difficult to understand.
That is exactly what God did for me.
He took me out of the fallen world, washed me of my sins, restored me, placed me in my new designated position and all by the work of his mighty hand.
We should ALL be IN AWE of the master at work. He is the God of all creation. Doesn’t it make sense that creation can only be sustained and maintained by the creator himself? I thank him every day. And if you ever did know me, Don’t you see what God has done?
GLORY BE TO GOD, FOREVER AND EVER
Amen,
Love Olivia
