I looked out the window over the town below and out at the mountains across the small valley. Splashes of red, yellow, orange and gold illuminated the beautiful fall season.
I said “God I love how you designed the trees to show their true colors when they die. Just as my true identity shows when I die to myself”.
The Lord told me “Grab your water colors and paint a tree for every woman at this conference and remind them of this”.
I said ”God are you crazy? You know my art skills are sub par!”
He said” Yup a little bit – on both accounts.”
I painted for a week, picked a Bible verse a teammate had given me during a team activity that I loved. “ She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future”. Proverbs 31:25
We presented them on a Friday night. I explained why I made them. One woman’s eyes teared up. I didn’t know why.
Afterwards, two woman approached me and said, “We were just talking about the trees and this concept the other day. We were talking about this verse as well. I even wrote a poem about it this week. We want you to know we think you have the gift of prophecy.“
This was just one of so many cool moments that happened in Bulgaria. To hear and see more about month 3 check out this short video!
