<p>Life is about waking and knowing this world is full of God.<br />
A boy needs a father to show him how to live in the world.<br />
A boy whose fathers keep their love for them undisclosed go through life banging from guard rail to guard rail.</p>
<p>In what site of devastation has God called you as an artist and a creative to subvert the powers of evil through your arts, through your music, your dance, your words.<br />
Where are you called to apply paint to the canvcas until God returns.<br />
When people&#8217;s intellects are closed you can sneak in through their imagination.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid of transgressing your lives.<br />
For an artist to be truly great, they have to walk through the debrei field of their lives.</p>

<p>God graciously dries up our wells so He alone can satisfy our deepest desires.<br />
On Thanksgiving Day 2009 Lauren&#8217;s husband experienced a grand mal seizure  that later they discovered what was brain cancer.<br />
Matt went through surgery and has recent finished all of his chemo and radiation.<br />
Recently his doctor has given him 7-10 years to live.<br />
Lauren continues to hear that God&#8217;s steadfast love will sustain her, her husband and their family.<br />
A clean bill of health is not what sustains you, but God&#8217;s steadfast love.</p>
