SACRED MOSAIC MASTERPIECES

Sacred mosaic masterpieces are made from broken hearts, fractured faith, and shattered dreams!

Pain, disappointment, and tragedy can scar and mar us as we travel down life's pathway.  But, if we will walk along side Jesus--if we don't quit, continue to walk in faith, and persevere on The Road of Righteousness--our lives will be transformed into something beautiful.

My mother-in-law would gather shattered pieces of a car windshild (which she'd find at the junk yard), paint the broken pieces various colors, cement them onto a large glass goblet, paint the cement gold, stick a candle inside, and light it.  The light filled the vessel--the colors GLOWED and sparkled...it was beautiful!

In like manner, this is what the Lord can do with our shattered, broken, fractured lives IF we will give Him all our brokenness, all our disappointments, and all of our pain.

He transformed my mess into a MINISTRY...
       He can transform your pain into a PROFESSION.
             He can give you "Beauty for ashes...the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
                       for the spirit of heaviness."
