Reaching for strength!

It takes strength to reach for wholeness....for your dreams....and for changing direction. I don't often paint figures but this woman of the Bible has always been compelling to me. Fighting the crowds and having the faith of her own longing to be entirely whole, she reached out with expectation. Living with the longing no longer suited her.....she put her hopes to work and reached for it. She took action and came away a new person. It reminds me of the friends that have been such an inspiration in learning new things, reaching for their wholeness and using their faith and hope to create!
