Something about the simplicity of this train painting was too perfect for boys. I got the idea for turning the word "train" into an actual engine while watching <i>Word World </i>with my own boys. I hope Brittany and her boys enjoy it for years!</div>

I'm somewhat partial to biblical names... So, I love doing paintings for children whose names are directly in a scripture. Noah and Joshua both were like this. They turned out so perfect for little men of God!<br />

He's now 8 months old and has joined our house FULL of boys! His brothers are 3 1/2 and 2 1/2, and he is making his mark in this family as the joyful, easy one of the bunch. I stay busy here at home, and at any given moment, you can find me playing with Thomas the Train or Lightning McQueen, singing praise songs and making or own "stage," or pretending to be shopping with our mini grocery cart and play food. It's a fun life, and I'm certain that these are the best days of my life.<br />
<br />
BUT, I'll admit that I <i>miss </i>painting and embroidering from time to time. So, every now and then, I make time to craft. I manage to fit in a few minutes here and there, but crafting now is not a priority and I've had to learn that. My family comes first, but I sure do enjoy using the other gifts God has given me. I'm crafting, just at a slow pace, and in the next few posts, you'll see what I've been up to since I last posted. <br />
<br />
Thanks for following and supporting!<br />
<br />
Love and blessings,<br />

While I certainly believe God called me to this a few years ago, I feel as though He is now telling me that my time to paint is over. With the sweet responsiblity of raising two children and with a third on its way, it is best that I get to work on the precious canvases in my life. <br />
<br />
My family has not always come first when it comes to painting. I have often made them wait while I finish this or that painting or while I stay awake in the early hours of the morning making certain the details are perfect. My husband and children do not deserve my leftovers... They are to get the very best of me, and to be honest, painting has taken that from them.<br />
<br />
So, with that being said, Gifts of God Paintings will be closing at the end of 2011. The blog will remain open so that I can continue to showcase the gifts and talents God allows me to share with others, but as for taking orders and creating any new paintings, I will no longer be doing so. I hope to finish my current wait list by the end of this year, so I cannot take any new orders. <br />
<br />
Thank you for understanding and supporting this small gift of mine. You have blessed me with your love and kindness.<br />
<br />
Blessings,<br />

<br />
After prayerful consideration and looking into the eyes of my sweet toddlers, I have decided that it is time to stop taking orders for Gifts of God. I began painting years ago after being inspired by these verses in Deuteronomy 6 which state, "<em>And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart... You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates</em>. I had time to paint before my children were born, and I was honored to create special pieces for our home as well as over 100 others during that time. However, my two boys demand much of my time, and I am blessed to say that I am able to stay at home and give them all the time I have. <br />
<br />
Painting requires much time, and I honestly do not have it to give. The doorposts of my house (and those who live inside them) need my attention. Thus, painting will now be on hold...<br />
<br />
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to create for your family, friends, and houses. It has been a privilege.

Hope it blesses Reilly and his family for years to come!<br />

It took me forever to complete, but only because I was indecisive. Anyway, I really love the simplicity and beauty in this painting and its scripture. <br />

However, Christy has done an adorable job and wanted these two pieces to finish off Logan and Brody's room! Cannot wait to see these little ones once they arrive...<br />

Lily's Mom wanted a special painting with the perfect scripture for her baby's room. I seriously could cry thinking about how intricate the details were in how Lily's Mom and I met, and then again over the fact that THIS VERSE is amazing for Lily. If you only knew...<br />
<br />
Thanking God for my new friendship with Lily's Mom, and for Little Miss Lily... She is<em> truly</em> a gift from God.<br />

While<em><strong> the above set</strong></em> actually made it into a preacher's office, there were three paintings I had done originally for his <a href="http://giftsofgodpaintings.blogspot.com/2009/01/office-space.html">Office Space</a> as seen here:<br />

After seeing these ALMOST completed, I decided they were a bit too detailed and "girly" for a man, so I held onto them, thinking that ONE DAY someone would love to have them. Many "one days" came and went, and here we are two years later with a dear friend who decided she'd like them for a Christmas gift. <br />

<br />
Well, I am. It's a decision that's been carefully considered for months now, and I prayerfully know that God blesses His people when they follow His lead. I never imagined <a href="http://giftsofgodpaintings.blogspot.com/">Gifts of God</a> would ever have this much support, but when it did, my family continued growing and getting less of me. The exposure of Facebook has been incredible, but I don't have the time to paint by the dozens anymore... I'm completely okay with that. <br />
<br />
However, I know that this is a gift God has given me, and I've seen this work touch so many lives over the past three and half years. There is no way I could EVER stop crafting, yet it is time to take a step back. My wait list is still full, and I suspect it will take me until March to complete all that it entails. However, after those are completed, I will open up a specific number of spots each month for paintings. I hope to spend more time on family and less time on painting... Friends and family, this is great news for you. I really want to create the pieces you've been wanting for years! You are my first priority; I want you to always know that.<br />
<br />

After a <a href="http://jennarjohnson.blogspot.com/2011/01/can-i-share-more.html">very difficult loss</a>, I needed time to heal, and painting wouldn't have given me the time to do so. So, because I decided to stop painting through the holidays, God has miraculously allowed me to experience His grace in a mighty way. He's spoken to me regarding life... and my craft. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Stay tuned for details on that.)</span><br />
<br />
However, I'm creative and crafty at heart; it's the way God's made me. It wouldn't <em>feel </em>right if I wasn't crafting something. Here are a few things I've done throughout the holidays:<br />

A new friend of ours in the ministry ordered 8 paintings as gifts for their friends, family, and church members. You'll see how challenging this was after you see the details. However, I'm so grateful for it because I was stretched me beyond my usual limits and forced to be extremely detailed and intricate. Please notice that NONE of these paintings were small paintings... They were all quite LARGE in size and detail! :) Thank you, Tina and family for allowing me to create these special pieces for all of you!<br />
<br />
The following three paintings are for three of the Madsen's church friends, who just so happen to all have the last name of Glass. Not only were the paintings going to have the same last name, but the same verse as well. I was supposed to make them look completely different. Here is what we came up with:<br />

I had so much fun creating these because she gave me free range on the designs and layouts for each. Tina knew the verses she wanted for each child, and I l-o-v-e-d her choices! The two boys share a room, and I wanted to be certain their paintings matched but were different in some ways.</div><br />

(#2)I met Debbie at a Girls' Day Out event in Bowling Green, KY, and she was certain she'd like a couple of paintings for her two sisters in Arkansas. Once I finished them, she couldn't wait for her sisters to see them and had me ship each to Arkansas for her! Hope they enjoy these precious Christmas paintings for years to come... (forgive me for not taking pictures of the bows... they were gorgeous).<br />
