A Highway In Africa
by sandihester
Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations. Isaiah 62:10
My friend Amy is doing just that – preparing the way and raising a banner for the people in Africa. She is a missionary in Africa. I love painting pictures my missionary friends send me or have posted on their blogs. Amy posted both of these on her blog. The first one is a very loaded down van on some sort of “highway”. I loved the colors and how it was stacked to the sky with stuff – last but not least – a wheelbarrow – you never know when you’ll need one of those in Africa :)! I painted this picture last night while cleaning the kitchen and cooking. I can do that since my painting “station” is my woodblock which is right in the middle of my kitchen – very convenient!
This second picture is of a lady at her sewing machine in a hut.
Dear Sandy, I’m Susan Moffitt’s sister and the proud recipient of two of your wonderful prints. Susan told me that you gave one to me–I love both the pear and the asparagus!!!! And your scripture choices are so right!!!
I enjoy your blog, and think your work is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so very much–I’ll enjoy every single day!
Love, Brenda
Hey Brenda! I am SO glad you love the paintings!!! Susan really wanted to pick the perfect one’s for you. The painting I gave you was a ‘thank you’ for the necklace you so beautifully made that Susan gave me. I love it and wear it at least once a week. How neat that our paths crossed through the gifts the Lord gave us!
