I guess it is kind of <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4you.com\/blog\/category\/scarfstories\/\">my &#8216;scarf&#8217; story<\/a> but it was a gift for someone else. If she ever sends her story in I would be interested to see how it works out. So here is the story&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>There was an art piece that was released and I immediately thought of a friend of mine. It was called <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2018\/05\/anointed-for-war-knight-light\/\">Anointed for War: Knight Light<\/a>. I thought of my friend Ron who was a Krav Maga ministry and is a very anointed warrior, physically and spiritually. But I couldn&#8217;t send a piece to him without sending one to his wife also. Yiska is his compliment and &#8216;help meet&#8217; in every way and just as anointed in battle and dance. I started a conversation with you, Meghan, about created a sister piece for <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2018\/05\/anointed-for-war-knight-light\/\">Knight Light<\/a>, so they could have a set, a pair. But you can&#8217;t rush God, He creates when He is ready. I was patient. I forgot about it for a long time, no worrying, just keeping it in the back of my mind. Something reminded me of it a good 9 months after <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2018\/05\/anointed-for-war-knight-light\/\">Knight Light<\/a> was created, and I decided it was time. Around the beginning of December, Channukah season, I decided to send Ron and Yiska a set anyway. I pulled up the <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/gallery\/\">Dyed4you Art gallery<\/a> and pulled up all of the images that reminded me of them. I whittled it down and had it narrowed to 5. I talked to my husband, telling him about the original piece I wanted to send (<a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2018\/05\/anointed-for-war-knight-light\/\">Knight Light<\/a>), eventually we decided on three art pieces. One for Ron (<a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2011\/01\/destroying-strongholds\/\">Destroying Strongholds<\/a>), one for Yiska (<a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2011\/04\/worship-warfare\/\">Worship Warfare<\/a>) and one for them both (<a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2018\/06\/gibbor-mighty-one\/\">Gibbor: Mighty One<\/a>), none of which was the original piece (<a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2018\/05\/anointed-for-war-knight-light\/\">Anointed for War: Knight Light<\/a>). The one thing I did notice was that all three of the art pieces had lightning in it. The funny part of this story is that the sister piece for <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2018\/05\/anointed-for-war-knight-light\/\">Knight Light<\/a> came out less than a month after I sent Ron and Yiska their art. It is called <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2019\/01\/anointed-for-war-rallied-warriors\/\">Anointed for War: Rallied Warriors<\/a>. Did I make a mistake? Should I have waited longer? I don&#8217;t think so. Should I send them the set now that there are two, like I had originally intended? I don&#8217;t think so either. I like to believe that God had a reason for having me send the art pieces that I did; a reason for prompting me to gift them at the exact time that I did, and even a reason He didn&#8217;t release the other image until after I had sent them. I hope to hear the other half of this story. Maybe I will tell her about the other images someday. Maybe I will still gift them at some point. But for now I am satisfied with being a faithful servant to the Good Father who loves His children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the proof is in the pudding &#8211; her friends were very blessed by the Dyed4you Art they received!
