White House by the Sea seems like a dream…but I would call it more of a vision God has placed on my heart. White House by the Sae is where I envision assisting women that have lost their ability to feel joy and have fun in life. We want to assist them in cultivating their creativity while flourishing in their faith so that they are able to once again reveal their most vibrant self.
The urge to create inhabits everyone, it’s of our making!
Women will come to the “White House by the Sea” to replace their feelings of emptiness with the tides of vitality and creative energy that God has placed within them.
Art and Heart
There is a huge main room with crisp white walls adorned with beautiful paintings. A chandelier made of tiny white lights and ribbons reaching all around the room makes a cheerful statement.
They’ll surround themselves with open-minded women at a beautiful white mansion by the sea. There are huge white couches all around inside and outside the house on which women sip tea, read the Bible and engage in open-hearted conversations. There is a huge main room with crisp white walls adorned with beautiful paintings. A chandelier made of tiny white lights and ribbons reaching all around the room makes a cheerful statement. In the middle of the room, there are rainbows of paint next to brushes, white canvases, and table easels. In other rooms of the house, women can dance, pray, mingle and rest…it’s a safe environment that offers a multitude of ways to feel revived, alive and closer to Jesus.
Gardens and Easels
A large garden opens up into a stairway made of limestone bordered by thousands of little orange flowers on each side that give access to the beach. There is always time for a swim in the ocean and to come sit by a fire on the beach. There is plenty of good food, lots of fresh fruit and veggies served throughout the day.
This is a wonderful retreat for women where they feel safe and can find their true selves again. Each woman plays a role in uplifting others with her own life experiences. This is a White House where women feel like a Queen for a day, a week or a Month! A White House where women speak an international language of Love and Art.
Nathalie, I want you to know I am enjoying the book of Flourishing in Color. The above story is wonderful too and I am finding more enthusiasm in my own world of art. I hope to use the book in a bible study for my younger students at some point.
What an inspiring story and Art and writing truly heal the heart and soul
Thank you so much for reading and commenting on my post Larry.
I’d love to see this vision coming to realization. I continue to pray for guidance, faith and inspiration.
