A couple of weeks ago, I was prepping for a beginner’s Bible art journaling workshop for a group of scrapbookers and other crafters who were enjoying a retreat together at Rhodes Grove Camp in Marion, PA. It was fun to come up with ideas that they might have used in their scrapbooks to show them how they could take all their scrapbooky goodness and turn it into recess with Jesus. I went for all the scrapbook-ish illustration tricks for techniques. It was a lot of fun, and they learned some new techniques. And… as it turned out, not all of them were at the retreatRead More →

Like the banner over a castle, military squadron, or tribe is its identification, God’s banner flying over me is love. What an amazing thought! His banner over you and I, His beloved bride the church, IS love. How amazing is that. Thursday was a discouraging and overwhelming day at my new job. But Friday is a brand new day.

  A little more than a month ago I took on a task that was way bigger than I expected. I decided that writing one Advent devotional and creating one to two pages of art as a printable per week was something I could manage. Ha! It was a lot more work than I imagined! Phew! But I’m so glad that I did it. I look at the ten pages of original artwork and can’t imagine that it was me who actually did it. It was covered in so much prayer and I know without a doubt that my prayers were answered. God has doneRead More →

Watchful Waiting Joy Advent Bible Journaling Focus – Week Three He Left Us Peace “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” Luke 2:14 Is peace as illusive at times for you as it is for me? In my human mind, peace looks like blue skies, sunshine, and butterflies but life is hard and sometimes my sunshine hides behind gloomy clouds and who knows where the butterflies went!
