I was painting at a conference, but skipped out on a session. I was in school full-time as a single mom of two young kids and I just needed sleep. In my dream I had this vision and decided to paint it.

One of the speakers, and several other people came up to me and told me how much they loved how I depicted that last speaker's message, for it was exactly what they had preached on the session I napped. He never ceases to amaze me, meeting me where I am each day.
