Create-A-Day: your daily dose of creativity #143 — Beautiful Sculpture of Christ
Standard
Brenda Angel with The Lamb of God sculpture
Today’s creative inspiration is a video of Brenda Angel, an untrained artist who was determined to create a 16-foot sculpture of Christ on the cross. Her original inspiration for this project was through a dream. She literally dreamed it and then made it into reality through her faith in God to equip her for this task. The sculpture is amazing! Her determination to accomplish the task despite her lack of train is incredible! Definitely worth the watch! The statue is on traveling exhibition. You can connect with Brenda Angel on Facebook to see where the exhibit will be next.
Has God has ever asked you to do what you think is “impossible”?? Have you tested God in this impossible task? If not, you better get started!! For we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!!
