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.

Outstretched

Sunday's sermon was so moving! His outstretched hand reaches down to save us, and we need to stretch out our arms to him.  When we do we invite him to walk with us and work his power through us.  He is not a genie to work for us but loves us so much that he wants to come with us on our journey and work through us.

Won't you outstretched your arms today and walk with Jesus!

Blessings,

Jill

Faith Art Journaling class

We had such a fantastic time today at Trinity Baptist Church in Sun City Center today! They were all brave in trusting God to lead them in their art worship adventure.  

We plan on meeting again March 26th right before Easter and doing a page on the empty tomb.

Look at all those beautiful pages so full of color!

Kiss Of God

Hi Faithers,
Today's entry is from my study on the book of John.  I was reading about Nicodemus and Jesus telling him that you must be "born from above", born of water and Spirit.  And how he related the wind blowing to the Spirit.  The Spirit works in a mysterious way, but he is very real and I can feel him in me guiding me and my thoughts and actions.  Thank you Jesus for sending the Spirit.

This is a Phyllis Harris stamp from Unity Stamps and I gessoed the page first, then stamped with Black Archival Ink and watercolored.  Love the image and the verse with it!

Next time you feel a breeze on your face, thank God for the gentle kiss he just gave you!

Hugs & Blessings,
Jill

Faith Art Stamps

 My friend Lori has been busy in her bible with her new Faith Art stamps!!  I love the way she has combined the images.   She did prep her pages with gesso, then stamped and colored with watercolor pencils and colored pencils.

Check out all the stamps on the tool bar at the top of the blog or on the side in my Etsy store.
Happy Sunday,
Jill
