A lot of the comments I got from my last post,
was about how I make my little paintings.
I start with drawing what I want to highlight
from my scripture reading.
Then I trace my drawing with carbon paper
onto my background
which is usually splotches of acrylic paint.
Today's reading is about how
the eyes are the lamp of the body.
I also traced her veil and cut it out.
I glued down the cardstock.
Here she is, ready to be painted on!
"The lamp of the body is the eye."
Matthew 6:22
"What we take in through our eyes
shapes the focus of our hearts
and even our actions." (from The Word Among Us)
I have to confess that I am not very careful
about what I see on TV.
It is invariably on while I am in my craftroom,
and I watch all sorts of inane shows.
As I am working on something,
I can't really concentrate on whatever is showing
and I end up watching either a talk show
or something that does not require my full attention.
But subconsciously, what is my mind taking in?
I know about Kim Kardashian's baby
and how whats-his-name told Katy Perry he was
divorcing her!
I really need to be more discerning
when it comes to what I watch!
Because I want my heart and actions
to be truly in line with what God wants for me!
Sometimes our words-
even though well-intentioned and devout-
can drown out the words God wants to speak to us.
If I keep the TV on,
I hear all sorts of worldy things!
May I be surrounded by His love!
May I be intentional about what I surround myself with!
May YOU be surrounded by His love!!
