Welcome to my blog where hopefully we can talk about seeking more of Jesus and beading which is my new love in life. If you are a real Christian you'll know how hard it is to remain honest and free in this age when so many things have grown darker and darker. Church for me seems right now to not be an option. I was so hurt in the last church I was in I'm still finding it very hard to recover.

If you have experienced this in your walk with God believe me we are not alone!

Art has become my way of surviving the turmoil I so often find in life here on earth where so many cruelties are prevalent. I write this because I want others to know about spiritual abuse. I'm sure its not new as really nothing is here is it?

In any case if you have suffered as I have, we will be fast friends. If you have not suffered maybe its because you don't expect church to be like it was in the beginning. My big mistake was in thinking it was supposed to be what God intended it to be. Or maybe you don't think you have or ever will have a problem with church, that could be also because you don't speak out or ask questions or maybe you go to a good church. I am hoping you have found that, its the best of all isn't it?

Jesus will always be my best friend as He never turns any of us away and never says anything critical or demanding, that's just not who He is.

Most of my blog will be about my interests in life which are art and beading which I consider my art, and life as I now know it.

I am a cancer survivor and a crime survivor, an abuse victim, and fibromyalgia sufferer although Ive never understood that illness. if that makes any sense?

Please feel free to comment on my work which I will be showing. I love to bead. The word says to keep your hands busy and for me this is very peaceful soothing work.
