First overcomers outreach meeting success!

It is very exciting to be running my ministry group for women "overcomers" at church. I still am pinching myself to see if it's a dream! The first meeting was held last Tuesday evening at 7.30pm. There were two of my wonderful friends and I. Although we were small in number, the meeting took shape and was awesome!
At onset of meeting, I began speaking, giving my testimony, sharing my story, giving background and idea for God's vision for my ministry while friends listened, taking notes. I then went through meeting structure and optional activities we could run...there was opportunity after that, for my friends to share their thoughts or suggestions, and also their story and experiences. They were not obliged to do so. We had an awesome prayer time which took us into what was on our hearts to pray, and we all prayed for each other and future progression of group meetings to come. What I hope to do eventually is to compile an overcomers book with testimonies of each overcomer member, and how we all have overcome by the word of testimonies, through the blood of the lamb. Praise God!

This is an old-fashioned bed that I produced. The medium I used in all of these pictures was conte pastels.

letter from survivor of the Titanic

This is a romantic piece, I think; as it illustrates a heart-felt letter written by Rosa Abbott, a survivor of the Titanic, and her adoration for her partner. I enjoyed producing this particular picture, making streaks of water spilt over the paper, to create the sense of viewing this letter underwater.

Surreal picture of the ship of dreams arriving in New York

This is the biggest of the 13 pictures in Titanic series. It is probably one of my favourite pieces. I wanted to create a hauning effect and also dream-like with the Titanic arriving to America in spirit.

This is Rose, who in James Cameron's Titanic movie, was played by Kate Winslet. I originally drew her naked, but my teacher thought it looked kitch..so, she is in a modest gown now! Lol.
