Doll Challenges




My passion is dollmaking as well as guiding others through their own personal journey of healing through the art of dollmaking. This past year I created a doll to send into a challenge called, "History in the Making." My doll did not place but I liked her because she represented to me what is true for all of us. Her title was, "Listen, honey, I am history in the making." We are all history in the making. Our stories are unique to us alone. They say that when a person dies that so does a library. What is in your library? We all bring such incredible gifts to share with one another.
Our pastor gave an incredible sermon on the Sunday before Christmas. He showed a clip from Britain's Got Talent. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mn6HGMfxIVQ
I have to tell you the story and the message that our pastor gave. The man (Paul) that you see in this clip (be sure to let it buffer before playing it) was a mobile phone salesperson. The judges ask Paul what he is going to do and he says that he is going to sing "opera."When you watch the clip you can tell that the judge on the left gives Simon the "yeah, right look." But, as soon as Paul starts to sing, the mood immediately changes both with the judges and the audience. The judges and the audience are in "aah." I would like to give you a little bit of background on Paul (as told by our pastor). As a child he was bullied by kids at school. After school he would wait for the bullies to go home, so to wait he would go into the music room and that is where he learned opera. The point of the message was, "you never know what special gift" lies within people. Look for the special gift within everyone you meet." Isn't that an awesome message? We all are so special. What is your special gift?
