Fear not, for they that be with us are more

This painting was inspired during a time when I was battling my inner demons more than normal. It was a tender mercy to have this image come to mind along with the scripture "Fear not, they that be with us are more than they that be with them" (2 Kings 6:16)".

As I kept this image in my head the scripture repeatedly sounded in my mind. I needed that reassurance and comfort that regardless of my imperfections and weaknesses the Lord and His hosts in heaven are always on my side. Battling your demons, be they Depression, addiction, heart break, loneliness, weakness, physical/mental illness, literal Satan and his followers or *insert your demons here*, there are more on your team and more rooting for you than you know.

As Ezra Taft Benson said "There are heavenly hosts pulling for us - friendsin heaven that we cant remember now, who yearn for our victory." Lets choose the right side and fight those %$@#&! demons.

I grew up on a small mountain farm in a little Idaho town called Orofino. I am the oldest and I have a lot of younger brothers. I was homeschooled and had the benefit parents that were very encouraging for the development of a creative mind. I've always loved making art, and painting anything I could get my hands on. While in my youth some of those things included walls, myself, pets and little brothers. Every parent's nightmare. I took my first painting class at age 16. Eventually I graduated from BYUI with my BFA in painting. Now I'm married to my sweetheart and we're raising our precious little baby angel muffins, who to my great enjoyment, love painting alongside me.
