As a Christian, I believe that God has gifted all of us with some form of creativity. Since we were made in His image, and He is the first and best Creator, we all reflect that in some form or another.
So what do I mean when I say I co-create with the Divine Artist? What does it look like to me? I figured now’s the time to describe that process just a little bit.
I start each day plunging into scripture (and coffee haha!)…
Read MoreWhile painting this, I felt deeply just how wild life is.
One moment feels like total darkness and the next you’re swinging above it.
I’m reading through @levilusko ‘s Through the Eyes of a Lion and it struck me how resilient God made the human spirit. Of course, the thing about us that can do these mystifying miracles is the divinity with which He made us.
It is because we are crafted after His divine image..
The painting above was inspired by a photograph I saw recently. In the photo, a focused rider spurred his horse on towards freedom from the flames. Either only for himself or to go get help.
Either way, it got me thinking about freedom. Although we have a choice in the matter, we often fall victim to many things we have been freed from, even though there is a better option. Don’t agree with me? Have you promised yourself this week “I will not think badly about myself, or this person".” or “I’m going to wake up early” “I’m going to workout every day this week”? Only to when you are unable to, you beat yourself up and start the cycle over again?
How do you get free from such patterns?
Read MoreCongratulations, you made it to 2022! Some of you out there might have thought 2020 would never end, but here you are, two years later, with more than your fair share of stories and battle scars. Even with all the craziness in the world, beginning a new year brings me great joy. It holds the hope of a new season. But it also holds a lot of undue pressure. Does anything here sound like you?
Read MoreWe are merely passing through on this little planet. Sure, it feels big and we want to make it comfortable more than we need to. But this world is not our home. Through it all, we walk through each season with God. We are never alone. The daily events, the crisis moments, the victories- God is with us each step…
Read MoreI love clouds. When I was younger, I would stare at clouds and see animals or faces. In the morning and at night, I love watching how white clouds change into gorgeous colors. As I walked earlier, I felt God tug at my heart. He loves us so much that He often gives beautiful paintings..
Read MoreEver had a negative thought or memory you can’t seem to shake?
We are told in the Bible to think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8). But when we get caught up in stressful situations, sometimes listening to God’s voice of truth seem challenging.
Read MoreGod opens up a new day lily every morning and it only lasts for a day. No one looks at that and calls it a “waste.” This morning when I was reading this scripture from Matthew 6:30-34 (MSG), I realized that our worrying about anything is truly wasted.
