Believe & Enjoy

2013-05-22T20:49:00.000-07:00

Two words that have been on my mind - believe and enjoy. For me, this means believing in what Jesus has done for us, and enjoying His love each day. Believe! Enjoy! :)

Monsters Moustaches and Mayhem

2013-05-07T21:42:00.000-07:00

This last Saturday, we had our opening reception for "Monsters, Moustaches and Mayhem" at the LA Art Share. I submitted four pieces to the show, including the one below:

It was a fun night of seeing friends, selling prints and postcards, selling a piece (!) and taking silly pictures :) Thanks to all who came by!

How great are your works

How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts! - Psalm 92:5

There is freedom

Sheila's Sweaters

2013-03-16T11:35:00.001-07:00

Sheila had the softest wool among all the sheep. Her wool was so soft, other animals described it to be "like a cloud," and "heavenly."

One day, the master had to make a special sweater. He took Sheila, and sheared all of her gorgeous wool.

In her shock and sadness, Sheila hid her nakedness from the other animals. But the master understood Sheila and gave her a sweater made from her own wool.

As Sheila stepped out uncertainly in her new sweater, the other animals came to “oohh” and “aahh” at her new look. Everyone was amazed at how Sheila's wool could become something even more beautiful.

When Sheila's wool grew back, the master came to shear her wool again. But Sheila was not afraid, because she knew she could wear her sweater again.

Not only that, but Sheila's fear was replaced by wonder and joy when she saw her wool being transformed into all kinds of sweaters.

Over time, the other animals also received sweaters made of Sheila’s wool, and everyone was able to enjoy the beauty and softness of Sheila’s sweaters.

God in our hearts

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Happy New Year

Looking into the new year with eagerness and glittering eyes...

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Happy New Year!

Bless the Lord

2012-12-23T12:35:00.000-08:00

"And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” - Luke 2:9-14

Merry Christmas!

"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven."
- Ecclesiastes 3:1

Knock and the door will be opened to you

2012-10-25T22:45:00.000-07:00

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - Mathew 7:7

These illustrations are for an article titled, "A Changed Trajectory" in INHERITANCE Magazine's upcoming issue, and I am sharing them here because they are also a reflection of what I've been experiencing lately. I am realizing more and more that when we put our faith in God and believe in His promises, God really does provide and open doors! It's pretty exciting, and I'm excited for what God, the author and perfecter of our faith, has in store for all of us. As the writer of this article says, "God has a journey waiting for you as well. A journey that draws on the passions God has given you, takes you places you never thought you would go..."

Don't you worry

2012-10-06T13:56:00.001-07:00

"Stop worrying so much. Worrying is using your imagination to create things you don't want."
