In early 2015, at the beginning of what was to become the hardest 4-5 years of my life, God gave me this vision in my minds eye.

I saw my hand holding a golden goblet, studded with gemstones, and a pearl in the stem. Into the goblet from a golden jug, was being poured rainbow water from Heaven, which was running over the sides.

God whispered gently, "My cup runs over." I knew He was quoting Psalm 23.

At the time, my circumstances were the opposite of abundance, and soon became so overwhelming that I was forced to lay down my brush for 3 years. But God was kind enough to prophesy this beforehand.

When my heart finally stirred to paint again I knew this was the one.
