I must first and foremost say that I am a follower of Jesus Christ, I love Him and gladly follow Him, I want to love Him more and give my life more to His calling. I am a wife, mother and artist, and have the wonderful opportunity to see God's creation through artistic eyes! Wow, I am so unbelievably humbled by What God has made, and feel so privileged to be able to put down onto paper a glimpse of His Majesty!
I have my own website, www.carolinewillmore.com, should you wish to view my paintings. I paint primarily in pastels, but also in watercolours. I would call myself a landscape artist as I love to study the light dancing in each new landscape which unfolds minute by minute. My passion is to love and serve my Lord and to tell others about the amazing life I have found in Jesus. Nothing can satisfy, only Him.
I have been through deep dark valleys in my life and I can only say that " If the Lord had not been on my side, all my enemies would have swallowed me alive". Thank you my Lord and Saviour for your amazing grace that saved a wretch like me!
Ever felt like you have been thrown into the deep end and you can't swim? When my husband's business went into liquidation and he went into deep depression I felt just like that! I had to get a job which couldnt meet all the families needs and I worked very hard from early in the morning to late at night, I know what it is like to cry out to the Lord and to question and ask why and then to start looking at myself and what the Lord was doing in my life through it all. My husband has since got up, after 2 years, and God has restored the years the locusts have eaten, but I can truly say, its a choice, do we respond to the Lord in the deep dark valleys and say Lord, I trust you, take my life and let it be consecrated to Thee, or do we choose to have attitudes and anger and resentment? Choices!! I set before you Life and Death, Which will you choose? I praise the Lord I chose life, and guess what? I have to conciously chose life EVERY DAY I live! Each day I have the privilege to CHOOSE and I choose LIFE!! I pray you may have the strength to choose LIFE too!
