Otherwise, it can be snagged and used by anyone.
    If this painting is an example of your work, it's too beautiful for you to not get the credit for it.

    Hey Papa, didn't you once give us a link to some of your paintings? Still have it available?

    Thank you...I am going to look into that. I know a young wonan who has had success in her mixed media art and sells and shows her work as originals and prints. Also a woman at our church does this printwork. I'll bet she can show me how this is done.

    That piece was done in oils. I really enjoy them. The mural was done in acrylics.

    I think your advice is good!

    Really good Lively. My brother was a working artist before he died a couple of years ago.

    I have over 800 copies since my mother died before they were all taken through her seminar ministry. If anyone wants one, I can send you one.

    She was a pastoral counselor (of men and women as well as pastors), and her ministry kind of became focused on many people coming to her for help concerning the story from a friend who had opened up to them about their childhood sexual abuse and incest. This is often how the survivor first opens up---to a trusted confidant. So, people would come to mom and would ask how they can best help their friend.

    She, with the help of Holy Spirit was soon inspired to develop a teaching based on the book of Nehemiah (did you know that the name "Nehemiah" means "Comforter"?), a book of rebuilding of ruins---symbolic of the burned out gates and rubble of a life torn apart by ruthless attacks of the enemy. This series of teachings brought great wholeness to a remarkable number of men and women. One day, her close-knit group of women she ministered to got together with her and asked her to tell the world their stories in a book. So, she devised a fictional account where their stories are woven into the main character (most of the experiences of the main character in the book encompasses the life of one of the women in particular).

    The Lord gave her the story and the chapter titles (in order) after waking her late one night and she went from there, took a sabbatical from the church staff position, and set to writing in earnest. The Lord instructed her to begin a seminar ministry where she would take weekends to teach these wonderful freeing truths in various churches around the country and in the USA, and she could sell her books that way.

    It was a busy season for her, but sadly, short-lived. She developed Pancreatic Cancer and lived only 7 months after her diagnosis. She gave me and my sister the remaining books, which amounted to about 1000! So, we sell them at a very small price, or give them away to people who have a real need.

    It is truly an anointed work, and I am blessed to have been a part of it, having edited and helped with the polishing and was used by God to come up with the cover illustration and the chapter page illustrations as well...all according to my mother's God-inspired requirements!

    I would love a copy too. Do you do paypal, or just cash or cheque?

    Inner healing and deliverance is my main calling, as well as prophetic intercession.
