Introducing, Sincere Love.  Sincere Love Laveda D. Rockford Dallas, Texas  USA Sincere Love Laveda D. Rockford Dallas, Texas  USA Sincere Love Laveda D. Rockford Dallas, Texas  USA I have to laugh because I'm going to tell you a little secret. This is the first oil painting I have ever done. I love it and must say, with Christ, all things are possible.  Never underestimate the possibilities when you serve a BIG God. I give thanks for this painting and His blessings. He always amazes me. I hope you get to a place where you can enjoy the blessings that He can provide for you. Does that mean that my life is wonderful all the time, NO. I just know that He is here, in my heart, surrounding me, and loves me through it all. It is the feeling that I get when something good happens that I cannot explain. Like painting this. Oh, how I wish you understood. My joy would be for you to experience it on your own.  Sincerely, ...

Happy Valentine's Day! Here are a few photos of my painting. I decided to call it, Sincere Love.  I looked through the Bible for a good verse to use on this occasion. Though there are many that talk about love, Isaiah came to mind. I long for the day when...  "For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, So the LORD God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all nations." ~Isaiah 61:11 Sincere Love Laveda D.

I give all the glory to God. I hope each of you have a wonderful day!  #HappyValentinesDay2019 #paintings #painting #roses #beautiful #JesusLovesYou #author #LavedaDRockford © 2019 Laveda D.

A prayer and a swipe of the brush with a mixture of colors can achieve things that are difficult. While I enjoy painting, I had to work on the vase to get the base right. It's not easy to paint. However, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I hope to tell you more about the sequel to Captive Deliverance. I'm waiting to hear back from a publisher. Until then, I hope you enjoy looking at these photos of my painting. Painting Laveda D. Rockford Dallas, Texas USA  Here is a close up of the flowers and foliage. Painting Laveda D.

While you are waiting for my next book to be released, here's another update on the painting that I am working on. There are times when I am not sure if I should post. When things happen for no reason or because of hatred.  For the life of me, I don’t understand how people can get so far away from the love that you can see in the world.  Look at the trees and flowers all around. If you live in the desert, look at the artistry of the sand. If you live in a cold area, look at how the wind blows across the ground to make interesting designs out of the landscape in the winter months.  The love of God above created that for us.  Even if you don't believe in Jesus Christ, there is a built-in ability to know right from wrong. To know the difference between love and hate. Choose love. I chose love and I chose Jesus Christ as my Savior.  Love, Laveda D. Rockford  #artist #writer#author #LavedaDRockford  © 2019 Laveda D.

I finished my second book and decided to do something fun. Take a look and let me know what you think. I enjoy painting and I hope you enjoy this post. Remember, God made this beautiful world. Not that everything works out in our daily lives like we expect them to, but joy comes in the morning! I decided to paint roses because of Valentine's Day. Here's my drawing, a rough draft. Here is the most recent photo of my painting. I hope you like it.  God bless and have a blessed day! #artist #writer #author #LavedaDRockford © Laveda D. Rockford

Looking out over the hills and valleys, and to walk in the steps of my ancestors. The Southern Missouri Fields of My Ancestors  The joy of hearing an ol' 'coon dog tree a squirrel, remembered in the here and after. Oh, the joy of momentous cry, the triumph of the skilled. Joyful as the years go by in my Missouri ancestors fields. Singing for good on Sunday morn' my Grandmother's voice could be heard. Rejoicing always for the good through the twists and turns of this world. While the hills and valleys of these woods continued all the while. The patter of feet in the old white house, wind blowing through, children gathering in the room while large snowflakes flew. Covered in white, Oh so bright, the southern Missouri hills. Joyful as the years go by in my Missouri ancestors fields. A righteous song could be heard rising through the throng, past the hills and past the woods up to the Righteous throne. Rejoice, rejoice, my Missouri anc...

When a new year begins, I, like most people, decide what resolutions I would like to try. At times, I strive and succeed.  One resolution that I have this year is to finish my second book. I hope to have it completed in a few weeks.  However, I have been working on a few resolutions for many years. It helps with my daily life. I hope you can benefit from this list.  To live in personal  peace  regardless of the situation, to love  more regardless of the recipient, and let the LORD fill my heart with joy  to overflowing so that you can understand the importance of that. These resolutions are a constant.  To live in personal peace regardless of the situation takes practice. Every day try to find a way to practice this principle. It is one thing that Jesus Christ gave us, therefore, it is obtainable.  To love more regardless of the recipient is a little more difficult. Not all recipients will accept a kind word or a kin...
