Great Expectation....


Well today has been a Awesome! day. My sister and I woke up this morning, and ran (walked too) 2 miles. I have been focusing on my art work I have a few things that I am working on. I wish that I could show them to you but now, but now is not the time. I will be able to show you what I have come up with, within about 3 days. But I am switching my style as far as painting, and drawing. I'm coming out of the box, have you ever thought about doing that? Setting your expectations greater than what you believe. Well for those of you who don't know tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 25 years old, and man have I come a long way but I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today without a little bit of FAITH! I painted a picture about a month ago called "Out", and basically the painting, itself is self explanatory. As you view the picture you see a woman coming out of a voidness (if that is a word), out of this black cannon ball, out of a troublesome storm. She wants out but as she comes out she is bringing others with her. And that I feel is what I am here to do. Which is as I move up, help my brothers and sisters. I said that to say this, when we have a little faith and we expect great things to happen, or if we just believe we set the atmosphere for our future. When I eat everyone eats that is my duty to let everyone know of the the greatness of the lord. (James 2:17)

Back to the Beginning...


Hey EverYOnE!
Welcome to my blog. My name is TaLacey. And first let me introduce myself. If I could pick any two words to describe me they would have to be vibrant and humble. Well I started this blog, because I wanted to give people, the opportunity to get to know me and my art work. Ive been drawing before I was birthed, if that makes sense. I was birth with many gifts. Drawing and painting are just a couple of the gifts that the lord has blessed me with. Well I named this post "Back to the Beginning". Because of the fact that many of us get off the course of what we are suppose to be doing. We lose focus of what is most important. Whether its your children, husband, cooking, loving, and caring just to name a few. Well lets make myself an example, I am willing to do that (I'm not ashamed). Well starting about two years ago, my grandfather passed matter of fact in 3 days will mark the 2ND year anniversary of his death (Rest in Peace Grandaddy George), well anyway after his death, god allowed a shaking to take place in my life. I was very complacent with my spiritual life. But in reality I was not where I was suppose to be (rather where god wanted me to be). So I moved to Atlanta, Ga. Where I started doing things that I normally didn't do but in the back of my head I knew I needed to straighten up. Moving right along, after I begin to seek his face, a few things happened. For one, I would always drive like crazy (especially speeding) and coming down a back road leaving my aunts house. My engine in my car blew up which at that time I had no choice but to stay with a good friend. But after that things began to happen, I had no choice but to fall on my face to the lord, and he brought me out, where now the real focus is him and the many gifts he has given me, painting being one of them. I am determined to use it. To let the world know that hey some of the simple things we take for granted and forget we need to add that back into our lives. (Ya know what I mean). So I say to you stay focused and put your mind on the lord, and he will provide you everything you need in order to be the best person, you can be. I said all of that to say "Back to the Beginning... ", you see Genesis 1, god created the heavens, the earth, and everything in it. He even created us to be like him (Gen 1:27, Gen 2:22-23), and before man (& woman) ate from the tree of forbidden fruit (Gen 3:6) we had everything we needed, and in order to get back where we need to be, we should seek our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Because without him we are just in existence, we will never get to experience life, and life more abundantly. Until we realize that we need him, especially in this world, today with so many things going on. I pray, and I have faith that my blog, as well as my art work reaches someone who may not understand their situation, who may need that extra push for that new business, for that someone out there who needs someone to understands their struggle. We all are human, we all are different, our struggle was created just for us. There is something that we need to get out of it (Meaning your struggle). And with that being said I hope that I inspire someone, child, woman, man, or teenager. To push toward the mark. The mark of excellence, the mark of greatness. I pray that you enjoy my art work and all that is to come.
Much Love, TaLacey
