Mother of all the Living

Inred the Twelve Extraordinary Men from John MacArthur and really enjoyed it, so I had to get the Twelve Extraordinary Woman.  He start with Eve of course and I really got a lot out of it.  Women are a gift from God to men.  One thing he points out is when everything created was brought to Adam to name and there was nothing found suitable for him, so God took it upon himself , without Adam asking, to create a special helper from Adam for man, woman.  We are made in mans glory and we are to be his helper.  I feel so honored to be created in this manner, as a special gift.  

The first picture had such a reflection on the alpha sticker, so I took this one without the light above, but the image isn't as bright.

I used Prima Faith stamp of Eve.

The heart flips over and reads:

The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam, not made out of his head to rule over him, not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.

Matthew Henry

Thanks for looking, I hope you feel honored today as a woman.

Water to Wine

Hi Faithers......I am studying through the book of John and Jesus first miracle really stood out.  It has so much spiritual meaning. The fact that it happened at a wedding symbolized that Jesus is the bridegroom and we the church are his bride.  Also, the fact of the ritual washing of water that will change to a spiritual washing of his blood.  If you are looking for a deep way of studying check out the Journibles at Christian Book.  I'm not using their journals, but my own and copying scripture.  I pray before I study for an open heart and insight into what God wants to reveal to me through the words I'm writing.  By taking the time and writing every word of scripture down really gives you time to let it sink and and time to meditate on the words.  The Spirit has really lead me deep in this kind of study and then it takes me deeper into illustrating it in my bible.
    I found the image on Google and drew it staight in my Bible with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  A little washi tape to jazz it up some. 
Blessing to you today!
