Bella Grace Blog hop

I'm so thrilled to be a part of the Bella Grace blog hop….







Bella Grace is a new publication from Stampington. This image-rich book is a peek into the lives of artists. It goes beyond the behind-the-scenes. To me, it's more about the spirit of creating. What drives us to create. The why's. Then takes you there….nestled into a backpack for a view upon a mountaintop. It makes you want to travel to these places. To spend time with the artist over coffee. And I think that's just what you'll do with Bella Grace. She certainly lives up to her name.

One Sunday I wrote and painted this. I hope it inspires you to lay out among the stars. ponder the smallness yet vastness that is You…..

I am Rooted in His love.
my story holds everything
through spirit I embrace Grace.

I am a light.
A shared light with the one that came before me
I am here to point to His Glory
To cherish what is so freely given.

To be still
to lay with the stars as one
to hold and acknowledge
that I am all God says I am.

I am one with the trees
the birds
the deer
I am one with the Maker of all these things.


Rooted in His Love

***inspired by the words of Cody Carnes, All He Says I am

  5. Mindy, thank you for these powerful words of truth. It's a wonder how much we are truly loved by God. His love runs so deep within us! I first realized this deep-rooted love at a very young age. It's about having a personal relationship, discovering your own uniqueness, and sharing the great love you've received to someone else who is looking for it, too. Thank you for the chance to win this beautiful publication!

  17. Love your poem and your painting - it reminds me of Chagall. It's nice that things of a spiritual nature can be shared in such a beautiful way. So much of the world is strident and harsh these days. God bless!
