There are moments in our lives where despair and doubt seem to be very real to us, but God’s presence with us gives us the Hope and the Promise that He is near, that He is our help in time of need.

He sent Jesus to give us hands of hope while we are in the mist. He will help us to complete our life journey.
This painting is a seascape with a boat going on a journey. I turn 55 years old this year.
