Cutting-Up’s Artist Blog

For those of you following our Mary Miracle, where Mother Mary has beautifully appeared on our Faith t-shirt, here’s an email received from Miraclehunter!  We’re proud to share our sweet story!  Hope it brightens your day!

Hi Jo Dee-

Thank you for your interest in Miraclehunter.com and for sharing your fascinating story with us. My only advice to you would be to continue sharing news of this event with those you know and meet - hopefully those who see it will be filled with faith and be drawn closer to God. 

If you are interested in getting your story further investigated by the proper authorities (esp. if you have any additional miracles/healings involved), you will have to bring it to the attention of your local archdiocese who will have a person dedicated to such investigations. Unfortunately, there have been many instances of Mary (typically in the form of Our Lady of Guadalupe) showing up in various places (e.g. hospital  windows - Boston, buildings - Clearwater, Fla, water stains, trees, rocks and shells) but there has not been a single one definitively indentified as being miraculous by Church authorities.

Thank you again for sharing your story and God bless!

-Mike

Truthfully, I’ve no idea how to start this entry. I won’t make it long, because I don’t want to dilute the story with my ramblings; but, I hope it’s blessed with humility and reflective of our awe and gratitude. Besides… isn’t a picture worth a thousand words?

Months after the printing of our Faith t-shirt, when Colleen was in Chicago working with Bekah at Stylemax, Bekah asked Colleen… “Is Jo Dee Catholic?” Colleen said, “No, why?”… “Well, the Virgin Mary is in the design of that t-shirt…” And, sure enough, as a result of our collaborative efforts, Mary has appeared…

Our creative process begins in my hands and is passed to Colleen who then works to further process the art to best suit t-shirts, applying different affects to different layers of the art. I think Mary’s presence is a miracle… I like to think it’s a reflection that our desires to share a positive, uplifting vibe is pure and embedded in our hearts - and it’s now visable - it’s also embedded in our art.

Soon after Colleen shared the Mary story with me, I went to tell my parents. On a beautiful Texas afternoon, having lunch on the back patio with my parents, I told them about Mary appearing in our Faith t-shirt. And, my mom brought out a little box… she had a present for me and for Colleen already waiting… She had been shopping on Ebay… and she had purchased two charms for Colleen and I - charms of the Virgin Mary.

I don’t know why I’m so lucky… but I know the gratitude and awe is overflowing and constant. My cup truly and continually runneth over. Thank you, Jesus… for all the blessings you offer us in these subtly miraculous ways. I am humbly your servant. Thank you for using Cutting-Up for Your good and may it… may we… always be a blessing to many. Thank you for working through us! I LOVE You… and I LOVE MARY!!!!! Welcome, Mary!!!!
