In Awe of You

There is a new album out by Jesus Culture, a Christian worship group, called Unstoppable Love. One of my favorite songs from that album is the song, In Awe of You. It really speaks to those moments in our lives when we just have no words for a situation, we can only stand in awe of what God is doing in our lives. Recently this has been the case for me. God is so awesome, working always for our good. He overwhelms me with His kindness.

Uncap the Love

I know that's kind of a weird title, but I was praying for a friend who is trying to write a book. My husband had gotten a word for her about "uncapping God's love" that's inside her and getting that down on paper. I used up just about all of my red water soluble crayon pushing hard to get all that love out! Sometimes when we feel blocked or stalled creatively we need to ask God why and just press through til things begin to flow.

The Father's Heart

This painting was done to express the great love God has for his children. I think many people have not experienced the love of God and so they think they don't need Him, or they think wrongly about who He is. I have experienced God's love in so many ways - great and small. I know He loves me and I know He loves you. Take some time today to tell God you love Him. If you don't know for sure if He loves you - ask Him.

Dancing Before the Lord

This painting came as I was praying for my daughter. She is a wonderful dancer and very musical. The figure just seemed to happen in the center as I was thinking about her. Different colors are beginning to represent things to me. Red is God's love and Jesus's blood shed on the cross for our sins. Light blue represent the Holy Spirit. Yellow and gold represent the glory of God. I was listening to a new album - You Make me Brave from Bethel Music.

  The photo for this painting was taken in Maine on a very rocky beach at low tide. I just loved this little girls hair and her fist clenched in concentration s she dug for buried treasure

These onions were fun to paint with all the different dramatic colors. Simple shapes an lots of color.
