Woo Hoo! It's  Day 3

I hope you are still excited about this journey. I am!  Today we will use acrylic paints.  You can use artist grade paints or craft paints.  Use whatever you have on hand. I use anything from dollar store paints to artist grade depending on my project.

I am encouraged today knowing the Lord has strengthened me for this 31 Days of Faith Art journal. I have already met so many challenges just in the 3days we have started. Yet I know this mission is ordained. So, I will keep moving forward knowing my help comes from the Lord!!

ScriptureJournaling

Place the scripture anywhere on the page.  Doodle around the scripture. Express any thoughts you may have in the border area. Write a prayer.

 

I begin and end my day with prayer. The Lord and I haveconversations throughout my day because I know my strength comes from the Lord.There have been times when I started projects or joined committees or became involved in ministry projects with firstseeking the Lord. I have learned to seek God first and have been humbled. Yes,seek the Lord first. He provides direction and strength. My life is morefocused. Therefore I am more aware when the vision is from the Lord as opposeto something my flesh desires at the moment.

 

Have there been occasions in which you stepped out ahead ofthe Lord? What were the consequences?

Prayer: Lord help me to be true and honest with myself always, so that I know what I don't know. Lord,  I ask for wisdom to discern where You want me to go. In Jesus Name. Amen.
