LONGWOOD, FL-Lucille Anderson, an interior designer and retired business owner, knows the joy of envisioning a design and making it happen. As a part of her daily work, Anderson saw, in her mind's eye, visions of her completed designs long before they became reality. According to Anderson, this creative energy is part of being made in the image of God. And God Said, Come! Create with Me (paperback, 978-1-60266-323-7; hardcover, 978-1-60266-324-4) proclaims that nothing should be impossible for us to accomplish when we realize what being made in the image of God is really all about.
In the very beginning, God envisioned the earth and everything in it and spoke all things into existence. Each of us is a part of His unique design, and He has only our good in mind. "God's desire is that we live successful and prosperous lives, not only in the richness of things, but also in the richness of the gifts and talents He established in us at birth," says Anderson. "These gifts and talents will bring our greatest success, satisfaction, and wealth, no matter who we are." When Christians recognize and pursue their gifts, they are able to see God in the gift, give Him praise for their joy and satisfaction, and build a prosperous life from the wealth that naturally comes from using their gifts.
Lucille Anderson is the retired business owner of Works of Wonder Interiors in Akron, Ohio. She is married and has one son, Terry, and one granddaughter, Terriona. She is a member of Harvest House Christian Center.
