WARNING!
Something really gross on my desk today!
And here's the "something gross!"
One of my favorite stories in the bible-
David and Goliath!
We fight battles left and right.
Something really gross on my desk today!
But first, a painting I've been working on.
I'm going to put a bird on the top left.
Do you think that'll work?
And here's the "something gross!"
One of my favorite stories in the bible-
David and Goliath!
We fight battles left and right.
Some big, some small.
I believe we always need to see
our challenges through God's eyes
so we will not despair or lose hope.
do not own it as defeat,
but continue by faith to claim the victory
through Him who is able to make you
MORE THAN A CONQUEROR,
and a glorious victory will soon be apparent.
Let us learn that in all the hard places
God brings us into,
He is MAKING OPPORTUNITIES
for us to exercise such faith in Him
as will bring about BLESSED RESULTS
and greatly glorify His name.

Your painting reminds me of a episode of Wife swap I happened upon the last night, of course 2 very extremly different families! One religious, moral, the other rockers, drinkers, etc. So the rocker guy asks the swap wife how his kids can't play violent video games but the stories in the bible ex. he used people getting killed on the cross, how are they any different. Well head smack guy, their is a difference in dying for others then killing just to watch people die. But on a happy note I love your art!!:)
ReplyDeleteI was glad to see your David and Goliath painting. It rocks! And thanks for visiting yesterday because I didn't think my snowman was all that cute. But then, that was just the start of the piece. Laughed when I read what you wrote, though. Happy WOYWW from #1.
ReplyDeleteI love your paintings! I am now hosting a weekly Inspire Me Monday party and I would love it if you would share your work with us - your inspirational paintings and journals ALWAYS inspire me!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful WOYWW!

Well good for you, it's pilot at o journal and document the realism too! Great artwork as always....dunno about the bird..I quite like the space...but then youll convince me anyway!
ReplyDeleteyesterday I had to work in emergency dept, I saw something Really Gross,
ReplyDeleteyour head without a body is pretty gross,
life ain't always pretty, so why pretend otherwise? I like your art.
not sure about the bird - I'd stick one on with blue tac first and check out the composition before `i made a permenant change...
sorry I've not been over your way for a while, been struggling to get around to even half the desks...
Dx
I just love your illustrations!!
ReplyDeleteLove your painting with or without the addition of a bird. Lovely colour for the main background. Hugs Neet 11
ReplyDeleteJust keep creating and the gross will fall to the wayside. Lead with your heart and beauty will follow. Thank-you for your kind visit.
ReplyDeleteHi Patsy,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great little painting!! And you're right, that was gross.... haaa

It is always a pleasure to visit your desk, gross things or not. I agree that a swooping bird would look good in the left upper corner of your painting.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting! Thanks for the warning about it being gross. Although, I have to say, I was so worried about what it might be, that when I saw what it was, I wasn't grossed out at all! And I love that you have illustrated that story, it is always one I have loved as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW (on Thursday!)

Hi there Patsy two great post above this - today WOYWW and the Friday one - love this verse about sheltering under His wings and yes the battle is not ours but the LORD's praise Him. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy WOYWW! love, Shaz in Oz. x #67
