Dry Bones

Leave a comment

When YHWH set Ezekiel down in the valley full of very dry bones, The Spirit asked him, “Son of man, can these bones live?” Ezekiel replied, “Lord YHWH, only you know.” Dry bones, hear the word of YHWH, “I will cause breath to enter you, and you will live.” The Encounters in Colour Christian art journaling retreat session by Jen Alward focused on this passage, in Ezekiel 37. As I meditated on it and how I wanted to make my faith art page for it, I remembered a time several years ago when I was walking through a valley of… Continue reading →

Stones of Remembrance

Great is God’s Faithfulness! In Joshua’s 4:6, he commands, as YHWH has directed him, that stones of remembrance be placed. Today’s Mixed Media Meditation is a short one, with a much quicker creative make. My stacked stones represent things in my life that either I’ve lost and God has gotten me through, or other things He’s provided that give me His Abundant Life in the midst of chaos and loss. All of them are things that I look back on and remember His faithfulness. 💖 I encourage you to seek your heart for “stones of remembrance” in your life, when… Continue reading →

Does your mind always stay in perfect peace? Mine neither. How’s that peace even possible? Isaiah 26:3 tells us it is. By keeping our mind focused on God and trusting Him—in every circumstance. Having peace in our souls as the storms of life rage around us. This isn’t something we can do in our flesh. It only happens by God’s Spirit at work in our spirits. I’ve been mediating on Psalm 23 recently, for a new creative course I’ll be releasing later this summer. So that influenced my thoughts on this passage also. We’ll dig deep into those Psalms 23… Continue reading →

Shine Bright

Hide it under a basket? No! I’m gonna let it shine! I’m still meditating on Matthew 5:14-16, (see April 26th and May 4th posts) and coming up with new ways to Bible Journal it through mixed media Faith art. Thank you to Kim Pepper’s FaithFest 2025 for inspiration. As soon as I started meditating on verse 15 in a visual way, I knew I wanted to incorporate a woven “basket” into the design of a layout. I also knew I wanted a lamp stand of some sort. And to incorporate my beloved multi-mediums background. The background for this page started… Continue reading →

A City on a Hill

How is your light shining? I’m continuing to meditate on Matthew 5:14-16. As we discussed in the last post, Jesus is the Light of the World, but in this passage we are told that we are the light of the world too. His Light is to shine through us and not be hidden. This Faith Art page illustrates verse 14. “A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Let’s take a look at the steps in this more whimsical make. Follow along with whatever coloring supplies you have. If you have stencils and stamps, use them. If not, draw… Continue reading →

Love Letter 2.0

Sometimes in life, you just need a do-over. Through no fault of your own, things just didn’t turn out “right”. Sometimes we just have to move on from there. Other times we can take a second chance, and when we know better we do better. Sometimes those things have no or low importance in the grand scheme of things. Other times they are of great importance. And that second chance, to make things better, can make a big difference in our lives and the lives of others. This do-over is very low in significance. But it still was a learning… Continue reading →

Love Letters

Up today is another page in my Greatest of These is Love journal. This one was inspired from a cardmaking session. I used the same techniques. Same basic theme. Similar colors. But ended up with a totally different look. ‼️😊 The instructor’s card was softer and floral. And my make—😮 I started with blues, instead of her blue-greens, since I already have more than one blue-green page in this journal. So that changed my tone-on-tone stenciling from her leaves to my stars. Of course, I had to adjust her portrait card layout for my long and narrow journal page—and I… Continue reading →

Grow in Love

Growing in love is one of our greatest aspirations, as we seek to become more and more like Jesus, and is evidence of His Spirit’s fruit growing in our lives. We are to “in love, grow in every way into him who is the head — Christ.” And, “I pray this: that your love will keep on growing…” Since daisies are one of my two favorite flowers, it seemed fitting to add one to this mixed media spread in my Greatest of These is Love journal. I love everything about this page—from the colors to the techniques to the elements I used…. Continue reading →

Faith Mixed Media Journal

I’ve had a great week creating Faith Mixed Media, after I attended an Online Retreat last weekend. The teachers at The Greatest of These, put on by Creative Worship Stamps, all had great inspiration—from faith mixed media to Bible art journaling to Bible study to greeting cards to faith planning. I decided to do my makes, based on their classes, in one of the new journals I made last month. This 4×4” flex spine, fabric covered journal—that I made for nothing-in-particular—is working out great for this. Once I knew its purpose, I decorated the cover with the Retreat themed printable….
