About

A shy girl, Karen gained confidence through her singing, which she did every Sunday in the choir in the Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her Great- Grand Father the late Emit Hill Sr. Was the Pastor and founder of the church. Karen recorded her first single when she was just thirteen years of age. Her hit single 'I'm just a little girl in love and We’re not too young to fall in love, written by Jackie Beavers co-writer of Someday will be together by Diana Ross and the Supremes. In her later years, Karen moved to Tustin California, where she sang background for Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. Karen went on to sing as opening acts for such superstars as B.B.

Karen’s graphic art and music are raw and powerful. Karen is a songwriter. Karen also writes Christian Poetry and Short stories. Karen has never really been concerned about becoming a superstar. Her concern is that Jesus Christ shines within her. Karen's songwriting, graphic artwork, and music has blossomed into more mature, meaningful material because her focus is on her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Karen has made it no secret that she has struggled with years of drug addiction. She is not proud of the past, but she is proud of the fact that she has overcome her addiction. Karen has made it her mission to help others who are struggling with their addiction. She is also in the process of writing her biography called 'Finally free'. In her biography Karen talks about how hard it was making it to the other side. She states that “it could’ve been a lot easier if she had just let go and let God”, but instead of turning it over to him, she kept trying to quit on her own. She finally realized that every time she tried to quit, in a manner of a few months or sometimes even a year, she would be right back to doing drugs again. It was only when she completely gave it over totally to God that he delivered her once and for all. She now realizes that there is a difference between her quitting and God delivering her. She knows that being off drugs is a gift from God and that she would never abuse the gift that he has given to her again. Karen turns to her artwork and gospel singing as a release from her drug addiction. It is her mission to help others to get free from drugs. Karen realizes that it is only because of God's grace and mercy that she is drug free today. It is because of her gratefulness that she chooses to use our craft only for the glory of God. Karen is also an ordained Minister of the Gospel. Karen lives to spread the Gospel of her wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through her artwork and music. She is bold in preaching the Gospel, yet at the same time she very loving in her approach to spread the good news. She is not ashamed of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Karen's music and artwork inspire others to become more Christ like. She is very humble and down to earth. Karen continues to keep it real as she spreads the good news of Jesus Christ. Karen is on a natural high, when she is writing, doing her artwork and performing for her Lord. Her music and art is a must have for any person that is going through the fire.

Amazing Love

There is no one on this earth that I love more than my beautiful Jesus! 

There is no one on this earth more important to me than my Beautiful Jesus. 

This is what I have tried to portray in Christian walk and everything that I do. 

Do I mess up? Yep! every day!

Do I struggle with sin? Yep! every day! 

If you are honest you will admit that you do too.

I just thank God that He does not hold our sins against us. 

I thank Him for His precious Blood.

 

We as Christians, need to stop judging one another and start praying for one another. 

My grand mother used to always tell me, "when you point your finger at someone, accusing them of sin, you got three fingers pointing right back at you." 

Now ain't that the truth?

Jesus is everything to me. He is my best friend and I can trust Him, when I can't trust anyone else. You can too!

I love Him with every fiber of my being and I know that he loves me even more.

He loves you the same way. 

I have been walking with the Lord, for over thirty years and He has never once let me down. He will never let you down either.

The devil wants to make it appear that God is not hearing your prayers, but Trust me, HE IS!

If the devil can keep your mind on worrying about things that we have no control over, then he can get your focus of of Jesus. 

He wants to cause you to lose your faith. 

Would it surprise you to know that worrying is a sin?

Well let me tell you, It is!

What you are saying to God, is that you do not trust Jesus to do what His word says!  Now this may be a little harsh, but what we are saying, when we worry, is that God's word is not true, because if we really believe what God says, then we would know that He is not like man. He does not lie like man. So what we are really saying is he is a liar?

Don't let that shock you, When God first revealed that to me it hit me hard too LOL!

But I learned a lesson from it. 

Don't let the devil trick you with his lies.

The devil is the liar!

Do not let him win.

 

Don't you know that you are a winner?

You because a winner the moment that Jesus got up out of that grave! 

It is because of Jesus that I am not afraid of death. 

Am I ready to go?

No! Not yet, because I still have work to do for Jesus! 

One day I will share with you why I am not afraid of death and what God allowed me to experience about death and heaven.God had to take me almost to the point of death to experience, just a taste of what Heaven is going to be like.

The only thing is it is very frustrating, and hard to explain in human words, what I experienced, and what the Lord allowed me to go through. 

Just know, when I tell you that if you really love Jesus with all of your heart, you do not have to fear death!

The Bible says in, 1st Corinthians 15:55

Jesus took the sting out of death!

O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?"

Jesus took care of ALL of that for us and He will meet us at deaths door!

He loves you so much!

 

He never judges us. 

When we mess up, 

He never holds our sins against us. 

He simply loves us out of our sins. 

God loves all of His children this way. 

 

He loves us all unconditionally.

That is what I love about him the most. 

Our minds will NEVER be able to FATHOM HIS LOVE. 

Because there is NO LOVE like it on this earth!

Trust me, When I tell you that! 

Our beautiful Jesus is awesome. loving, merciful and kind!

I went to Bible school for two years and the only thing that I learned was about how merciful, kind, and loving, Jesus really is.

 

Just know that Jesus has your back!

Who else would give up their life to save a sinner like you and I?

His love is SIMPLY AMAZING!
