About

Bio Karen Showell is a humble, yet an awesome Graphic artist and Gospel singer. She has traveled extensively around the world, including Europe, Japan and Canada. 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. King, Mille Jackson, and the late David Ruffin, just to name a few. Karen is married to Pastor Bradley Showell. Together they had four beautiful children. Joy, Diamond, (Deceased) Courtney, and Jeremy. Karen understands that her voice and her graphic talent are instruments and they will always be used for God’s glory alone. 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.

Waiting on the Lord.


By Karen Showell, 2015-05-19

Waiting on the Lord.

 

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage,

and he shall strengthen thine heart:

wait, I say, on the LORD.

Psalms 27:14

 

If we as Christian’s were to be honest with ourselves,

We would admit that waiting on the Lord is one of the hardest things to do.

We must learn to trust God because He knows what is best for our lives.

He sees the whole picture.

Let me give you an example of what of I am talking about.

Let's say that you ask God for a new car.

At that very moment your prayer has been answered.

You want the car right away,

We'll maybe the Lord sees you getting killed in that

car in the next few days, so rather than giving you

the car when you want it, He will wait to give it to

you until he knows that it is safe.

So saints of God let us thank God for his divine

Wisdom. For He alone knows what

is best for our...

A Question for you


By Karen Showell, 2015-05-19

 

 

 A Question for you

 

I am sure that just about everyone has heard the song: 

Bridge Over Troubled Waters. 

 It is one of my favorites. 

It is a all time classic! 

Our lives are filled with goodness, as well as troubles.

Sometimes the winds and the waves of life can overwhelm us. 

 

The song says: 

I'm on your side, when times get rough, and friends just can't be found, like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down." 

I hear Jesus saying that He has laid his life down, not just for me, but for everyone. 

No one took his life, He gave it up voluntarily! 

Thank you Lord! 

He loves us so much that He allowed them to put nails in his hands and His feet. 

He allowed them to mock and beat him. 

He allowed them to spit upon him. 

Jesus is saying that he loves us in spite of our sins. 

He allowed himself to be the sacrificial Lamb.

Nothing Intimidates Jesus.

Nothing Intimidates Jesus. 

No matter what difficult situation you may be facing today, Jesus can turn it around! You may be having money problems,The doctors may have told you there's no hope. Your bank account may be empty and the creditors knocking on the door. There may be trouble in your family or on your job. 

The devil wants to make it look like God is not going to answer your prayer. One of your loved ones may be in prison. You may feel that your problems are stacked so high that they are falling on top of you. You may have an addiction and it seems like you will never overcome it. Well!, 

Have I got news for you. 

Nothing changes God's love for His children.

Nothing changes God's love for His children. 



What is Agape Love? 
How does this kind of love express itself? 

The Apostle Paul gives us an excellent description in 
1 Corinthians 13:13 

Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong....
