LittWorld<\/a> provides a unique opportunity for\u00a0people to think outside the busyness of their day-to-day challenges and tasks. Here\u2019s how God answered one woman’s prayers for new creative blessings at the last LittWorld:<\/em><\/p>\n

Lisa Haskin has dabbed paints on canvas for decades. \u201cI\u2019m really detailed, precise, and\"\"<\/a> my work looks like I\u2019m anal-retentive, which I kind of am,\u201d she laughs. (See orchid painting at right.)<\/p>\n

A few days before Lisa boarded a plane for Nairobi to attend LittWorld 2009, friends gathered to pray for her journey. One woman prayed that the Lord would bless her artwork in a new way.<\/p>\n

In Lisa\u2019s free moments at the conference, she relaxed in the gazebo overlooking lush foliage and tea plantations. She started sketching with the few art supplies she\u2019d packed. With limited time, she quickly scribbled with color pencils, then took dozens of photos of the surrounding flowers and cottages.<\/p>\n

After returning to\u00a0Chicagoland, Lisa started a worship notebook in which she drew pictures she felt the Lord was giving her. \u201cI started working with the scribbly style of colored pencils and black pen over it,\u201d she recalls. But Lisa still didn\u2019t know if she should pursue the new style.<\/p>\n

Last summer at a barbecue, her pastor\u2019s wife asked if God was leading anyone in a new direction. Lisa shared about the style she\u2019d experimented with and her uncertainty. Immediately, someone affirmed Lisa should pursue what God had given her.<\/p>\n

That week-end Lisa sat down with her photos from LittWorld and completed 6 to 8 paintings in an hour each, using the loose, scribbly style she\u2019d started in Nairobi. \u201cIt\u2019s like they came gushing out of me. That\u2019s the only way I can explain it,\u201d she said. Her other paintings each normally took a week-end or all week to complete.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very freeing and less about being precise and worrying about the end product. I don\u2019t know how the drawing will turn out, I just continue until I feel it\u2019s down. That way, it\u2019s not planning, but letting God use me as the brush, the tool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Please join us in praying that this unique gathering, LittWorld 2012<\/a>, would <\/em>spark more new ideas to satisfy global hunger for the written word via books, articles, magazines and graphics\/illustrations.<\/em><\/p>\n
