God's Goodness is Pursuing Me!

"God does not overlook anyone, 
including you and me!
He doesn't worry about where you come from.
rather he looks at your heart.
He looks at your desires and 
dreams.
He doesn't look back but looks ahead.
He wants to give you a 
future 
full of 
hope."

This was what I read before I went off
to the Art Fair last Saturday.
Art in the Park is an annual
art fair sponsored by the Museum Foundation.
It was my first time to join
and I was so excited ....
and scared too!

But God is soooo good!
Even before the fair started officially,
this nice lady on the right,
reserved one of my larger paintings!!!!

There were so many wonderful paintings!

and even mosaics!

And here I was, a novice!

I felt very blessed the whole time!
So many came and said they thought my work
was beautiful!
I sold 16 paintings and prints in all.
Amazing!

"Only goodness and love and kindness
and faithfulness and peace and generosity...and...
all around wonderful surprises
pursue 
me! "
Psalm 23:6

"Think of it:
God's goodness and love
are running after you!
They are chasing you,
hunting you down.

So look for Him as you 
go through your day.
Reflect on the events of your day,
and try to find those times 
when God's goodness and love 
are chasing after you."


Every week I choose one wonderful visitor
who leaves a comment
to receive an ATC from me.
I know it takes so much time and effort
to leave a comment
and I appreciate it soooo much!

This week,
Random.org chose,
#11, Paula J
a wonderful blog
that encourages all of us to take the time
and stop and see God's blessings!
Just the right fit for my 
post today!

Sometimes I put on my best pajamas 
and join these great parties!

Paint Party Friday: "Mercy"

Good morning friends!
Here's the background I started with-

and here's the image I pulled from it for my journal.
"I desire mercy, not sacrifice."
Matthew 12:7

I was watching NBC's Today Show last night
and I was intrigued by Matt Lauer's interview with
She had a near death experience in 1999
and she wrote a book, To Heaven and Back.
She described Jesus as infinite kindness and compassion.
Sometimes I can be rather judgmental.
I forget that I should leave judgment to God!

It can be wearying finding fault in others!
Let's look out for the good, the positive,
the many blessings we have!

I finally finished this commissioned painting!
Hooray for me!
It took me a loooong time
because I was hesitant about drawing a piano
which was what the nice lady wanted
in the painting.

Here's a project I did for a local TV show.
If you want to see some instructions
on how to make it using a yakult bottle,
scraps and a styrofoam ball,
you can visit our papemelroti blog.


As a thank you to all you wonderful visitors
who take the time to leave a comment,
I pick one of you every week
to receive an ATC from me.

This week the RNG picked

She chose the lady with one hand 
on top of her head
and the other raised in praise!

WOYWW 130: Delighting in God's Word


It's Wednesday again and here we are showing off our desks

Here is a closer look at the canvas I am working on.
This is entitled "Delight Yourself in the Lord".
The little boy is reading the bible on top of the tree.
I am going to put a little girl on a swing 
on the right and the words on the left.

 
A close-up of my journal page from yesterday:
"Blessed are the EYES that see what you see."
Indeed so many prophets, kings and ordinary people
like you and me longed to know and see the Savior.
When we read the gospels, Jesus comes alive for us.

If you want to know what those numbers are,
I count my thanksgiving prayers to God!
A nice way to keep track of 
how many blessings I have!
One thousand one hundred six, 
since I started counting! 

Roman 10: 17 reads 
"Faith comes from what is heard, 
and what is heard comes through the word of Christ."

I drew myself listening to podcasts on my new Ipod.
My husband surprised me 
with an Ipod for my birthday,
and I started downloading inspirational podcasts,
because the bible says we can grow our faith
by hearing the Word! 

Joining the lovely Julia for a 
peek at desks and projects!
