One of the great ministries at Canvas Church is our Drama Team. This is a production from a Sunday worship service a few weeks ago. Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

God has been speaking to my heart about places in which He wants to bring change. He said that He means to challenge His people to a deeper knowledge and working of His Spirit. This means giving up old ways of thinking, whether from old training, tradition, or just plain habit. Change can be scary, [...]

Have you ever heard the song, “He’s an on time God”?   Jill told me about a house she saw for sale. She said it was in a nice neighborhood but was probably out of our price range. We had been talking about buying or building a house but agreed it would be better after [...]

It was Saturday.  Earlier in the day, we had two baseball tournaments.  After the last game ended, we rushed home and packed the van for a day trip that would last into the night.  Then we headed for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  “I am sorry.  The lot is full.  We can’t let any [...]

                                                                                                     Brokenness has been a theme that has run throughout my life.  It’s also something that God has been addressing in my life recently.  Brokenness can mean readiness of the heart for submission to Jesus’ way of doing things as opposed to mine or any other voice I might be listening to at the time.  [...]

It’s no secret that I am an animal lover.  I have several friends with companion birds.  In my experience with the birds capable of mimicking speech, I’ve noticed that they tend to practice.  My friend’s parrot, when trying to teach himself a new word, will quietly whisper it to himself over and over again in [...]

As promised, here’s another Video submission to our blog. Let me introduce it by saying this is a very special video indeed. It’s called The Chase, and it was used as the primary illustration for the latest Canvas Women’s Retreat held October 29-31st… but that’s not the reason why this video is so special. It’s [...]

Change

‘No problem can be solved by the same consciousness that created it. We need to see the world anew.’ Albert Einstein When the calendar flipped over to 2010, I knew change was coming. It is just one of those feelings you get. I am excited to see what this year will bring. I am a [...]

Awakening: Adapt

Posted: April 2, 2009 by canvasrhapsody in adapt, Awakening, change

It has recently come to my attention that I live a very safe life. Truth be told, I have done everything I could think of to create a safe life. The suburban house wife, the mini van and the all important, if not physical, symbolic picket fence. I didn’t have a lot of safety as [...]
