Here's a story for you.  Recently I was asked to create an image for the First Communion Program at our church.  That was good, because I had been pondering doing such a painting for years, but how do you get brave enough to actually tackle "the Eucharist" without someone coming right out and asking you to!

I knew right away that I wanted a choir of angels in this painting.  And I have been asking God if He wouldn't mind just sharing a peak at them with me so I'd have something to go on... Well, I've been watching for them for years and so far, ...nothing!
 Anyway since I am not necessarily a painter of people, I thought Bouguereau wouldn't mind sharing his inspiration for his painting "Regina Angelorum" with me.  Here's where the story gets interesting.  You see, at first I had a priest in this painting holding up the Blessed Sacrament, surrounded by the choir of angels.  But something was just not right about it and I didn't know what.  I asked many people for their input, but most were just too nice to say anything negative... Until my good friend Cathy came over.  She said she just didn't like it but couldn't exactly articulate why.  And then she was off to Adoration. 
About an hour later I got a phone call from her saying,  "Ann, this has never happened to me before, but God said to tell you to take the priest out."  Halleluiah!  I knew exactly what to do then!  Of course, with the priest in there, the focal point was very tiny.  But now it is as it should be.

And I feel so blessed that even in all of His glory and Majesty, God would care enough to assist me in my little dilema.  He is such a loving Father. 
The other cool thing is that the readings for this week were about the Lord speaking to Samuel, in the Old Testament.  When Samuel finally realizes the voice he has been hearing he says, "Speak Lord, Your servant is listening."  How timely, for me.  And how beautiful it is to hear His voice.

Blessings to you!
