Journal entries ispired from messages heard at my church.

After the horrible experience from our last church finding a church like Mosaic has been a true blessing. The following were all birthed from messages from Mosaic.  It was actually one of Naeem's that got me thinking about picking up my art again.  Thanks Naeem.

This was the painting that came from THE message that got me thinking I should start painting again. It says "My name is written on the palms of His hands!  The very same hands that created the universe, holds each star and knows them by name.  The same hands that formed me. The same hands that broke bread and provided for multitudes, brought sight to the blind and held the face of a woman full of shame.  The same hands that hold each tear I shed.  The very same scarred hands that say "Oh how I love you"

Some of my journal entries so far.

 Bloom again was done during a snow day we had.

Simple childlike faith

I am chosen and dearly loved

 I am chosen and dearly loved was done for an e-course I am taking over at Willowing  Tam's heart is so giving, gentle and full of sincere love for others.  I love to listen to her as much as I do watching and learning from her. OMG, I just realized that dearly is missing its "r".  hmmm...now the question is whether I leave it like that or change it?

This is the cover of my journal.  It says "A visual conversation with my Abba"

Pick me!!!

This piece is homework I did for my counselor. I found it easier to do in the form of art than writing or telling her. 

Art journal LOVE

Connie from  Dirty Footprints Studio is the reason I finally took the plunge to dear blog ville.  I have been hemming and hawing the idea but was simple too chicken to do it.  That was until I saw her contest for her Art Journal Love Day party.  Being one who loves parties, art journals and giveaways, I decided now was the time to start so here I am.  Thanks Connie ( I am acting as if she reads my blog and we are bffs-indulge me)

The sad thing is I am so new to this whole blog thing I am not too sure how to give her the proper credit.  Hopefully, the link and picture show up on the actual blog post, we shall see. :)



Dirty Footprints Studio

This is the one I have entered as part of the challenge/contest.  I need to get better at taking pictures.  In time my friends in time.

I really hope I win the contest there are so many amazing art teachers offering their e-courses.  I am drooling at the thought of taking one of them.  Keep your fingers crossed everyone.

Finding my heART again

I can't even begin to express the joy and healing that I have discovered since picking up my art again.  It has been 20 years since I have done any real art and I didn't even realize how much I had missed it.  I am loving what I am discovering about myself and about God.  Many of my pieces are from pictures I get while spending time with my Daddy. I am going to give the whole blog thing a try so I can journal my journey.  Since painting again I have found myself dreaming again.  This blog might  just be here for my personal benefit but I am sharing it anyway.  I do pray that it will be encouraging and maybe even encourage you too to find your heART again.
