The featured speaker at the Summit this year was Morgan Jackson from Faith Comes By Hearing. He was an incredible story teller, sharing stories of the Word of God impacting illiterate people through the audio Bible. A great reminder received from Morgan Jackson is that God’s Word can be shared in stories. I do not [...]

This last piece for the Summit is entitled Harvest. The face is of a child, so I added imagery from children’s books and encyclopedias. The clock was stamped by my mother-in-law when she was a child. The verses featured were: John 4:35-36 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, [...]

The focus verse that was used for this year’s Summit is Esther 4:14b. Esther 4:14b and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? In the last couple months, our pastor taught through the book of Esther. Wow. I loved learning and applying what was being taught. In [...]

Our church puts on an annual event focusing on missions called the Summit. This year I was asked to submit some art to support the theme, The New Missionary. As I worked through each piece, I felt prompted on each step through dreams, prayer, words, thoughts (with exclamation points). I was guided by the Spirit [...]

Page in my altered hymnal 11/02/07: Beatles song learned by my son on guitar this past couple weeks: Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken [...]

One of my favorite songs to play on the piano is Chopin’s Prelude Op. 28, No. 15. Towards the end of the song, right before the last forte, I am instructed to smorzando e slentando. I just love the sound of these words. They mean: dying away and becoming slower. I want to live life [...]

Much like gravity is this pull from the depths, the pull of my Creator. I see His fingerprints everywhere and long to gaze upon His face. Sometimes, rather often, I long to see His face greater than I long to dwell within the constructs of time and space. Thankfully, I know I am not alone in this [...]

The latest Salt challenge is Lent. This was a difficult topic for me since I don’t participate in traditional Lenten practices. Although raised in a church that does recognize the season of Lent, I had to do an internet search to refresh my mind on the purpose and intent of Lent. Lent is a time of [...]

New year resolutions, I am not one to set them, but have found myself pondering and praying about God’s directions for me. This fall I spent extremely too much time on the computer. I am sure I wasted days. This is not what God has prepared for me. Last spring, God began stripping responsibilities and duties [...]

Yesterday I went to the International House of Prayer to soak in the excellent worship experience they have available. They have a prayer room in which worship takes place 24 hours a day and has been going nonstop since Sept. 19, 1999. The worship leader changes every 2 hours, and I just happened to go [...]

Ephesians 5:18-21 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; (19) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; (20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our [...]

I thought since I was on the topic of art every day this month that I would make an effort to also share the hidden art each day. Today I worshiped through the hidden art of service. Each Friday, my family serves a delicious meal at VERONICA’s Voice. We serve intentionally. The food is homeade and as [...]

Yes, I’ve committed to another challenge. I am going to do art every day in the month of November, and I’m going to share it with you. What creative thing did I do today? I worshiped and praised while taking a hike with some others from our homeschool group. God’s art is the most inspiring of all. [...]
