Day 31!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!





Singing, "Yes, Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so!"

Thank you for joining me on this last and  final day of 31 Days of Faith Art Journaling! My heart is overflowing. I could hardly wait to get home to start on this page. Interesting, it wasn't until I sat down that anything would stand still in my mind. So, now it's 11:00 pm and I am at peace with what flowed from my heart.





I relieved myself of trying to create a masterpiece. I remained true to this journey. I learned about different ways to hear from the Lord. I learned about where I am at this point on this spiritual journey. I learned different art journaling techniques which made me step out of my comfort zone.

I indeed am the Lord's servant out of my comfort, growing in Christ each day!

Scripture Journaling

Scripture came from a magazine page.

I got very little sleep last night. A storm came…..not outside, but inside. The lump in my throat and turning in my stomach alerted me that I needed to breathe. So instead of fighting the fact that I couldn’t go to sleep, I just stayed up and talked with the Lord. Finally learned how to listen when I can't sleep. This situation is bigger than me. This situation is not bigger than my God! I asked the Lord for wisdom to make decisions based upon His Word, not based on how emotional I was.

Today was peaceful. The mountain is still there. But the view is clearer and I don’t have to carry this. I am trusting God for this situation.

Prayer: Dear Lord, I desire to die in You daily. Sometimes this walk becomes difficult, but I carry  Your Word in my heart. Thank You for calming me long enough to hear from You. Lord, I need You always. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Scripture Journaling

 

Print out and glue to the page.

 

Watch night service was awesome! The Word spoken was received and planted deep in my heart. I was blessed by the fellowship. I can't imagine bringing in the New Year any other way. Did I say the fellowship was awesome!

 

I was praying about my One Word for 2014. I chose the word Hope. I understood why I chose it. Yet, each time I would proclaim it or write about it, I could only whisper....to myself. There is nothing wrong with the word. I need Hope in the Lord in my life. But it simply wasn't my word.



 

Then God....chose another word.....TRUST! 

I heard Him. I felt Him.  

I learned to never step ahead of God. It won't work. I have experienced living in the moment  as a way to ease my anxieties. But by living in the present moment, I was able to hear a right now Word. I am so elated I can barely write! I am always in awe of how the Lord works.

 

Prayer: Most Kind Father, You alone are worthy of my praise and my worship. I am nothing without You. I have learned to trust You more than I have my entire life. Lord, grant me wisdom and courage to move when You say "Move and to speak when You say , "Speak."

I am so grateful that You have placed people in my life who loved me in my brokenness and are happy now that you have made me whole. I praise You! In Jesus Name. Amen.
