Wings Of Prayer And Love

Writing didn’t come up very well on it.. I didn’t have blue ink only purple lol so it became an angry sea 🙂
My daughter commented that she loved the colours..
Encourages my heart..

Focused here on being carried over or through storms..

Ive gone through many storms and although physically you go through it and it’s hard.. Spiritually we can soar above held by HIS love and peace and especially prayers..

Exodus 33:14
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.

Psalm 46:1-3

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

Artist Trading Cards

Almost at the end of week three of the art “Made” course I’m doing.. If your interested in combining art with faith you must sign up for next years course… Absolutely awesome! Link via side menu here on my blog to give more information.. These three cards were so much fun to do.. See link as to see further what these are.

Artist Trading Cards

This is the 2nd repost.. Sigh for some reason unknown to me it got deleted after I hit post the first time. The link even got shared on my social media… So I’ve had to rewrite it as well. At least I know most of what I said. This will be shorter as my daughter is hungry for lunch! Its school holiday time here.

I’ve had some trials and tests personally of late even as I’m working on these so being able to lose myself in creating has been so beautiful and healing to my soul.. And the amazing thing is the messages that I’ve chosen are positive and true even in hard times. Its whats I’ve found within that brings hope to my soul and will guide me on when the outer life is difficult..

God for me is truly the answer to everything! I truly hope with all my heart my art shows that!

I was saying in earlier posts on this blog that I was disappointed that I wasn’t getting more technique teaching in this course. Well this week I was rewarded and the material we were sent was easy to follow and showed various techniques step by step. As well as a video sharing “how to do the art” the teacher sent such a inspirational pdf packed full of so many quotes, photos, prompts, spiritual food and gorgeous thoughts!

I will definitely be creating more of these cards in the future!! I have a whole pack of cards I found in an op shop to use that I can alter and create with!

I want, in fact, to borrow from the language of the saints – to live “in grace” as much of the time as possible.. By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony.

“Power”

For this 2nd week of “Made” art course we had to choose a word.. The word power keeps coming up in the world around me.. Then I did an art piece on it.

The quotes below came from the book “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brenè Brown..

These below have spoken to me as I have been thinking about this word “Power” and what it means to me.. I will let the art speak for itself..

*Spirituality is recognising and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a greater power than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practising spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning and purpose to our lives. Brene brown

*Martin Luther King Jr described power as the ability to effect change,

*Lit from within

*Both joy and gratitude were described as spiritual practices that were bound to a belief in human interconnectedness and a power greater than us.

Psalm 121:2
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Wall is broken down

Sharing page three for the first week of “Made” art course I’m doing!

We were asked to create a brick wall, that symbolises the way we separate ourselves from God. (For me personally these boldly documented words in my pic are the things I’ve found try hard to come between God and I.)
You know the things in your life that are personal for you that are barriers between you and God. Create a collage.
Choose materials carefully, what things speak to you of that barrier. Cover it with other materials to create a brick wall.
Create a list of words that are the things that create barriers between you and God. That make this chasm feel so wide that I’m unable to reach the God who loves me.

Then we were to cut these bricks and add them to other pages we created earlier.. I deviated from that, creating this page. My explanation below.

My wall was thick and deep and wide and the bricks heavy and huge..
Underneath each brick I’ve written all the things that have disappointed me about my life… So these bricks are very multi layered.

But its completely broken down by Jesus.. He has made a way through and He is the only answer. Although all of the bricks are physical and still affect me in some way or another.
I’m spirit, a new creation and I’ve overcome through Jesus..
All things work together for good to those who love Him.. 🙂
The back ground of swirling blue was the first thing I saw in my minds eye when thinking on this first week. It became the third and final background page for “Metaphor”.
Underneath are His everlasting arms. He has it all worked out from the beginning of time..

Need I say it again.. Yes I will..

All of it works together for good.
