Isaiah 61:1
John 10:1-30
Psalm 34:18
In this painting three sheephead are hovering around a center pylon. All three fish are facing the viewer. Thus, making the viewer one of the focal points in the piece. The focal point has a duality because although the fish are directed toward the viewer they are also hovering around the pylon.  The pylon however points upward to yet another unseen center of attention, creating a bridge between two unpainted, unseen main subjects - you, the viewer, and that which is above. The painting fills in the rest of the story. 
So why did I choose sheephead around a pylon?
Sheephead in their natural environment hover around pylons for their food source. While sheephead are fish in the Ocean we read from the Bible references to the sheep we see on land. Did you know the stories of the Bible equate us, God's people, to sheep.  Time and time again it reminds us of the importance of listening to our shepherd. 
Jesus is our good shepherd!
So what is the message hidden in the painting? The prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 61:1 points again to a coming Messiah. He speaks for the Messiah and says that He will come to heal the broken-hearted. Again in Psalm 34:18 we read that the Lord is close to the broken-hearted. To illustrate this I included broken rocks in the foreground. Beyond the brokenness there is a clear but narrow path leading to the single post. 
In the illustration of the sheep and the shepherd, it paints a beautiful picture of the relationship of love, care and dependency. As a young man I could relate to a certain point because my family raised sheep. I would be on our family ranch in New Mexico and as a kid I loved to go out with Joe the family ranch hand and call the sheep in for the night. They would never listen to me but they HEARD the voice of Joe and knew he was their good shepherd. As an act of obedience the sheep in a single file entered through the gate to safety be inside the pen for the night. I always took that for granted as a child. Because of my childhood experience and my adult relationship with Jesus, the good shepherd, I, too, know His voice and better understand the illustration in John 10. Jesus came to give sight to the blind, to heal the broken-hearted. He came to give life in exchange for His own. It is offered to all who hear His voice. When those that are broken-hearted hear the message of hope and listen to their shepherds voice and follow Him in an act of loving obedience, only then can one be HEARD, rescued, healed and yes, counted too.
As in the painting, the sheephead are in their natural habitat feeding on the pylon. We as God's people are in our natural habitat when we stay close to our center post - the cross. There is no other way to be fed spiritually. One God. One Son, Jesus. One Holy Spirit. 
Have you HEARD the good Shepherds voice?

Solid Omegaverse!
Format: Kindle
4.5 strong stars!🌟 Overall great story solid omegaverse. I love how they’re fighting their instincts. Lots of spice, TONS of slick and heated moments. **Slight spoiler sort of** I was nervous reading this for pretty much one reason and that was the other “O” listed. I knew it wasn’t another female and I would have been happy/fine if it was but the concern lay in not knowing or being guaranteed the smexual preferences of our three alphas so realistically this gave me anxiety on how the dynamic would work. Anyone who has read omegaverse knows there’s usually one omega in each pack. My fear was the male omega connecting only with the female omega and that dynamic doesn’t wholly work for me. To me, the male omega needs the alphas as well so I was relieved with how this turned out.

Good plot but definitely slow burn
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (not a ton of spice scenes for an Omegaverse) The plot, character development, scene progression, and action throughout the story was done really well. I did wish there was better pacing for the spice. I felt like the big spice was really rushed. During some scenes the story was a little hard to follow. I think some parts could’ve been cut. Overall I would read more from this author! 💖

omg loved the story
Format: Kindle
I’ve been in a reading slump DNFing so many books and finally found a story to keep me captivated… now with that though there were still some parts that were a bit of a struggle like Tatums struggle with the past trauma she dragged that on for ever I get it pasts are hard to overcome sometimes. But honestly it was easy to get over it falling in love with all these little psychos 🤣🤣🤣 absolutely loved Kodi’s obsession with getting Easton even though he doesn’t know him but smells brownies everywhere and missing the mark it was hysterical.

Omegaverse with rival families.
Format: Kindle
Tatum is trying to raise enough money to treat her omega mother who has fallen catatonic due to the death of her mate. To make the money she needs she agrees to work at a gentleman's club scantily dressed. There she meets the twin Hayes brothers, Declan and Kodiak, what she doesn't know is that their younger half brother is the high school sweetheart that ghosted her after helping with her first heat. Tatum also meets Easton, the mysterious male omega that pops into her life but she finds herself strongly attracted to. I enjoyed all the characters, even those that were not major characters, the plot was good, the storyline was well done. I would recommend this book if you liked Omegaverse stories, mafia storylines, and good romance with why choose.

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
Who doesn’t love morally grey men obsessed with their omega who isn’t afraid to call them out on their unacceptable behavior and make them grovel? Tatum really is a survivor through and through. She is willing to do anything to get her mother the help she needs, even deal with the man her broke her heart. If you love brothers playing jokes, crazy stabby omegas and rich men being told no, you will enjoy this book. Great spice and great ending.
