finding peace/borrowing words and color

Worry is practicing the absence of God’s presence.  Borrowed

borrow neat snippets from magazines and glue to pieces of your own art work.

Frame yourself with God's presence

What will it take?

Inspired by Music

 

inspired by Josh Groban's Granted

God sees our tears.

Change is inevitable.

surrender old ways and look forward to the future

Surrender to what is.
Let go of what was.
Have faith in what will be.

Isaiah 30:15

 

(this verse always makes me think of my dad, who personified this verse.)

Praise the Lord O my Soul

and all that is within me...PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!

Be the REAL you

Resilience is still a challenge

 

 

One day I manage quite well and then the next may be impossible. I'm trying to become more resilient but it's a daily challenge. It's easier on days when I've slept well and feel well. Some days I'm just overcome by the number of chaotic events, even when they don't affect me first hand. I pray. I regroup. sometimes I just stop and allow my body and emotions to catch up and heal.

Life is what you choose.

Life is what you make.

Life is what you live.

Life is what you believe.

Life is what you do.

Life is what you want.

Life is what you share.

Life is what you give.

Life is what you …

double dare even

Final Lessons-Visioning

Here are my final journal pages for the True North Arts Visioning Journal Workshop!

Here's a link to the workshop if you care to try it! http://collagediva.typepad.com/vision/

These last two images are all about acrylic paint, collage materials (found and created), words and the passion to find balance in my life. My word focus and attitude for 2009.

I admit to being addicted to art and creating. It's the one place I feel free, peaceful, and truly M E ! My passion is ART and it affords me balance in every aspect of my life. I realized recently, after depending on my journaling to get me through Dad's stroke recovery, art and words are my desired drug of choice. Without them I'd be completely insane!
