Painting: Breaking Free by Cathy Schock

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2

God LOVES to free us….I believe God craves to free us from things that beset us so often. He calls us and encourages us to run to HIM for help….even when it seems “noisy”.

I have the privilege of having a signed copy of this phenomenal image in my home after meeting this blessed talented artist Cathy Schock at an Arts Festival in Maine…she was anointed, kind and very encouraging. Her artwork is sooooo impactful and brings God’s heart and His Word to life.

I do actually believe that spending time with the Lord, fixing our eyes on Jesus… has a significant calming effect.

My KIDS can tell when I personally haven’t spent ENOUGH TIME with Him….as I start CRANKING more…lol

I appreciate freedom that GOD grants us when we take our heart, our goals, our problems, our kids, our spouses and our responsibilities to HIM!
