Book Covers and such

 

I like sharing a cover from time to time. Often it is simply a mixture of what's laying around on my work space, leftovers from other work, new items and what's on my mind.

 

Like any other book, the cover never tells the whole story but it gives a glimpse at what's going on in its pages. My journals are sometimes image first and sometimes words and sometimes neither but they are always therapy. They give me a bit of respite at times from life's hectic times but also give me a place to let off steam, fears and worries. I need to work more on doing praise pages for all the blessings in my life. I keep a regular journal as well as a gratitude journal and much praise is found there.

Keep arting, journaling and discovering what inspires you and sparks your creativity.

get it as soon as you can!

so proud and pleased to be included again in this wonderful magazine!

Three is a sacred number

Your quietest message says the most

a new design obsession

when you do something for a friend (copy work) you sometimes get inspired to push the design to see what you can do....this was fun!

God is your confidence

create your art persona

sometimes we limit our living

we live between the lines forgetting the purpose of the lines that give us direction we may need to follow for reason of learning, fun or discovery. this piece is left over painting edges cut into interesting strips, lines drawn between and message on the lines. don't, no, never limit your possibilities.

We can't help ourselves

if you follow artists much you begin to see patterns and repetition. we find themes and words and colors we continually feel a need to express.....take a deep breath find meaning for you....maybe we repeat ourselves to make a point

Snowy Prayers

find your dreams

find your ZEN

together with God

heart felt

 

My mind curdles with memories, affliction and fear.

My heart aches with sadness and dread.

My soul beckons with faith, hope and love.

Lord, thanks you for all you’ve done and are doing and will do for me and my family. I praise your generosity. Forgive my sins—past, present, and future. Allow me a little more time and energy to do what you have for me to do. Bless everyone in my life who needs you today and every day. I love you, Lord, Amen.

 

God Vs Me

 

It's important to realize God's part and our part. We are a joint mechanism and a joint effort to have a life of love, joy, faith, and service.

we try to hide what we think and believe but

 

we can only obscure so much in our lives.

we always become transparent.

With God

YOU CAN!

all the answers you ever need

 

are found in the scriptures

turn to God and his word

 

pray

meditate

worship

study

listen

ask

 

God knows you and will not fail you!

every day--it's important

when you can't pray

or don't know what to pray, use the Lord's Prayer

may be my biggest challenge yet

Can I truly learn to be resilient or will I fall flat on my faithless face? Sometimes we need a challenge. This is mine. I've avoided patience but it's time I learn to be stronger and flexible. Maybe I can't become totally resilient when life attacks but at least I'm going to focus on trying to be. Wish me luck!
