Do you have a friend who loves Bible study, journaling, quiet time, prayer, creativity, or… Continue reading →

Imagine

Imagine sitting down for your quiet time and feeling excited instead of wondering where to start. Imagine having a few different ideas in your back pocket for days when you feel distracted, stuck, overwhelmed, or just need something a little different. That’s what I love about the Faith Journaling Collective Workshop from Faith Bundles. Twenty women—including me!—. are sharing different ways they process Scripture and connect with God, and I have a feeling you’ll walk away with ideas you can continue using long after the workshop ends. Sometimes all we need is a little fresh perspective. You can join free… Continue reading →

Love & Worship God

Have you ever had a Bible verse that you know well—you’ve memorized it, meditated on it for decades, and then a word changes in your mind? Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. Deut. 6:5, Matt. 22:37, Mark 12:30, Luke 10:27 I know this verse inside out. It is a key verse for my life. I taught it to all my children. Yet, as I meditated on it to make this Faith+Art journal page, my mind kept saying worship, not love. In fact, I… Continue reading →

Where Faith, Neuroscience, & Creativity Meet

This neurographic drawing has been sitting on my desk for a week or so. Although I’ve been doing other FaithArt journaling pretty consistently this summer, that evening I just wasn’t drawn to my mixed media projects in process. There were no heavy feelings, or issues to work through. Just a heart that needed something different. So I picked up paper and pen and began drawing neurolines and rounding intersections, while meditating on God’s Word and worshipping Him. I hadn’t done any neurographic drawing in several weeks, not since at the CTPM Retreat in May. But that’s what I was being… Continue reading →

A New Name

Leave a comment

My mind is still meditating on and expanding my study on names, (based on my previous Bible Journaling page for the Great Shepherd & His sheep.) Thinking about how God calls me by name. How I know and hear His voice and follow it. To go a step deeper, to the name He gives me. John tells us, in Revelation 2:17, that overcomers in Christ have a new name, given by God. “To the one who conquers, I will give … a white stone, and on the stone a new name is inscribed that no one knows except the one… Continue reading →

My Guiding Light

Who remembers the song My Lighthouse by Rend Collective? When I saw Natasha’s make with a lighthouse, in the Encounters in Colour Retreat, my mind immediately went to this song. My lighthouse, my lighthouse, shining in the darkness, I will follow you. What a great follow-up make to my Great Shepherd mixed media meditation on John 10, My sheep know My voice and follow it. They will not follow another. It’s all about following Jesus! In my wresting and in my doubt, in my failures, you won’t walk out… In my questions your truth will hold. Your great love will… Continue reading →

Summer Creativity

How is your summer creativity coming along? 👩🏻‍🎨 Are you one that has more time to relax and create in the summer? Or does your summer bring more running around, less time at home or in one place long enough to sit down and work on creative projects? I like to think I have more time in the summer, that my schedule is more flexible. But the reality is I also like to travel as much as possible. Sometimes those trips, such as when camping, allow for time to create. Sometimes those trips involve being busy with family, friends or… Continue reading →

Sheep, Shepherds, and Wolves

Leave a comment

Not all ongoing control, violence and cruelty comes from within the home. The times when I talk about abuse on this site, it’s usually about marital abuse, fracturing the closest of human relationships. But God, in His Word, talks about another kind of abuse, in the broader family. He condemns the misuse of that relationship too. And shows us His intention for it. I’ve been pondering sheep, shepherds, and wolves a lot lately. YHWH has brought them up in many different contexts, so I had to dig in. It’s interesting how often His Word talks about them—and how often He… Continue reading →

Happy birthday, Freely Whole!

As Freely Whole turns 10 today, I reflect on what God has done in this last decade. He has clarified what Freely Whole is and is to be, continually bringing more clarity. As I expected, Freely Whole exists to come alongside you, as a “helper of your joy”, to bring you comfort, encouragement, and support, while helping you grow more deeply in your understanding and love of Jesus. Not expected was its ministry to abused, divorced women, who love and follow Jesus. But not only to her! It is for any who desire to grow closer to Him. Who desire to express their worship to Him in creative ways. Who desire to walk in greater Freedom and Wholeness. Freely Whole is for YOU! Continue reading →

Happy Spirit Filling Day

🔥 Happy Shavuot! 🔥 On the day of Shavuot/Pentecost, (50 days after Passover,) Jesus’ disciples were gathered together in one accord, one mind, one passion. (On the Jewish calendar, this was this past Friday. As Christians we celebrate it on the Lord’s Day (1st day of the week.) On this feast day celebrating God giving His Law/Torah to Moses, He sent His Spirit to fill and indwell the men and women who followed Him, His disciples. He came to write His law on their/our hearts, not just on tablets of stone. To empower them/us to share God’s Word, His life… Continue reading →
