Art Journaling Using Simple Supplies: Finding Home and Peace in Christ
In this video, I'm just using paint and paint markers over a bit of collage in my art journal, while sharing my testimony of how I committed my life to Jesus Christ. Even though I struggled with identity issues and not belonging, turning fully to the Lord brought me peace and a sense of coming Home.
The concept of Home is the focus of this Art Journal process - not just the physical kind but the deeper idea of peace and belonging. As I create this art journal page, I reflect on what it means to find true peace, no matter where you are.
"My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,
In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places."
Isaiah 32:18

The ONE THING to Focus On: Prayer Journal Page
มุมมอง 24421 วันที่ผ่านมา
It’s time for a reset, as one season ends and a new one begins. In this video I am sharing how I am resetting my focus for the new season by creating a page for my prayer journal with a bible verse using a papercutting technique. Many are going back to school after a long summer break, and as we pray over them a prayer journal is a great way to bring the focus back to the one thing that truly m...

Flowers remind me to STOP WORRYING because Jesus said so
มุมมอง 1.2Kหลายเดือนก่อน
I’m making some papercut flowers to add to my prayer journal, and I'm sharing my thoughts on Jesus' clear command to "consider the lilies of the field". Worrying is a problem that Jesus adressed and something he commanded us not to do. Looking at flowers can remind us of God's provision, his goodness and the importance of living fruitfully in the short time we have on this earth. Some of the Bi...
Not Junk but a Meaningful Prayer Journal

Junk Journaling is putting together papers, scraps, or whatever you find into a bound book - which is how I'm creating a prayer journal. In this video I'm making a bound book using paper saved from my children's childhood drawings, coloring pages, homework assignments and other scraps. It's held together with elastic (rubber bands will do the job too) and I can add or remove pages when I want. ...
Art Journaling about God Finding What was Lost
มุมมอง 5252 หลายเดือนก่อน
God said, “I will seek what was lost...” Ezekiel 34: 16. It’s God who says so, and Jesus also declares he came to seek and save The Lost. It’s his job, and we can find comfort that we can trust him to do it well. If you feel lost or know someone who is lost, or if you have experienced loss of any kind in the past, this is a word from the Bible that can really encourage you today. I’m creating a...

    In today's devotional "Be Still and Know", this was the message..."Prepare Him Room". It was about removing the negative and replacing it with the positive. Making room for the new, our thoughts, our time, even our friends. Making room for prayer. The ending prayer was, "Jesus, I don't know how to make room for You. I feel too busy to spend a lot of time in prayer or other spiritual things. Give me creative ways to pursue You so I can see you increase in my life." And so here you are, you have made the time to share your talent in your creative way of God's word. 🙏🏼

    So beautiful 😍 I loved your testimony aswell as the process of the page, perfectly matched! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏🏻 I recently shared my testimony in Church - the same day I got Baptized! In short: I had a restless and stubborn heart. Living my own way even though I always kind of knew that God exists. I said yes to Jesus in 1999 but it wasn’t until 2019 when someone asked me if I was a believer and if I go to Church that it changed. The questions convicted me and made me run to Church, the very next day (time just before Easter). The Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached and it went from just being knowledge to my heart. It hit deep and the true correction could begin! All the Glory to God, forever and ever 🙌🏻💖🙌🏻 Blessings! 🙏🏻❤️

      It may depend on the watercolor and the amount of water you use, but when it’s wet my pages look very see-through. After the paint dries it’s no longer transparent. It has never ripped. Also I have the NKJV journal the word Bible. Journaling bibles may have different paper from regular Bibles. I’m not sure.

    This really speaks to me and what has been such a heavy burden on my heart. I feel responsible for my grown children and their families who do not want to hear the message of God's love and Jesus Christ's sacrifice for our sins. I feel responsible because I did not bring them up in the church and with some but very little Christian upbringing. But now that I have become a Christian I am fearful for what is to come and them not believing. I feel the time is short for them to seek the Lord. After watching this I understand that it is God who seeks us (as He did me) not me who can bring them to Christ. Please pray for their hearts and minds to be turned toward Christ.
