DO NOT WORRY

MATHEW 6:33,34

THIS SCRIPTURE HELPED ME THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS TIME OF STRIFE.

IT WAS COMFORTING WHEN I FELT 

SAD

ANXIOUS

AND

UNCERTAIN WHAT THE FUTURE WOULD BRING.

I AM SHARING IT WITH YOU SO THAT HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE A COMFORT TO YOU AS WELL.

---------------

MATHEW 6:33,34

"SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD

AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS

AND 

ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU.

THEREFORE, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW 

FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF.

EACH DAY HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE OF ITS OWN."

STEP, STEP, MOVE!

BUBBLES...

 

 BUBBLES IS A FRIENDLY FELLA.

HE SPENDS HIS ENTIRE DAY

OBSERVING THE WORLD.

 

SOMETIMES HE'S AMAZED AT WHAT TRANSPIRES;

 

"OUCH MY BUBBLE MIGHT P...O...P..."

 

SO ON HE GOES.

HE CONTINUES TO WATCH OUT FOR THE THORNS AND THISTLES

THAT MIGHT POP HIS BUBBLE.

 

HE HAS TO BE CAREFUL WITH SUCH PRICKLY THINGS.

POOR BUBBLES, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG HE'LL BE ABLE TO AVOID THEM.

OH WELL, HE'S BOBBING ALONG HIS BUBBLY WAY

HOW MANY TIMES WOULD I HAVE LOVED

FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHERE TO GO

WHEN I FELT

FEARFUL,

EMPTY,

AND

 CONFUSED ABOUT MY EXISTENCE.

 

I EVEN USED TO GET ANGRY AT THE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE

I WOULD ASK MYSELF

WHERE ARE THESE SO CALLED CHRISTIANS?

WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING ME WHEN I NEED THEM...

AND

THEN I WOULD CALL THEM HYPOCRITES!

 

THESE ARE HARSH WORDS FROM ME NOW.

I FOUND MY TRUE LOVE FOR JESUS

AND

I NO LONGER FEEL EMPTY AT ALL.

 

I FOUND AN EXCELLENT SITE THAT WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THE PAINTING "UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND" IS HOW I FELT MANY MANY YEARS AGO UNTIL...

 

I FOUND OUT THAT JESUS LOVED ME

 

I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT NEED TO DO GOOD WORKS TO GET TO HEAVEN

 

I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT EVOLVE FROM A MONKEY (frankly I never believed that)

 

I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO BE REINCARNATED AGAIN (this I believed)

 

I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THAT I WAS MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE

 

I FOUND OUT THAT IN ORDER TO BE SAVED I SIMPLY HAD TO ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE ME FOR

 

ALL OF MY SINS,

 

AND

 

BELIEVE

 

THAT HE WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY,

 

DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME SO THAT I COULD BE FORGIVEN,

 

AND BELIEVE THAT HE ROSE ON THE THIRD DAY.

THE MARTYRS

THE MARTYRS

So much suffering endured throughout the ages

 The Martyrs lacked the necessary freedom to believe in God

They lacked the freedom to express themselves

They didn't care about government law

They only cared about dying for their one and only true Savior,

Jesus Christ.

It is heartbreaking to have painted this canvas.

There was a tear with every brush stroke

Tears in honor of

THE MARTYRS

I'M SORRY!

I'M SORRY

This painting clearly expresses its story

I'm sorry Jesus

because you had to die so horribly for my sins

I'M SORRY..........

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY THESE FATSOS COME OUT?

"HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WHO WAS AND IS TO COME!"

Rev. 4:8

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY TAKE 2

Pete - He's a nice fella.

He stands guard when I get into a mess

He is there for me when I'm happy or sad

Pete prevents me from getting into accidents

He prevents me from tripping over myself

He probably comforts me (although I don't know he's doing it)

and

When its time to be with Jesus

Pete will help me make that transition from earth to heaven!

Pete is my guardian angel...

Do not ask me whyyyyyy my angels turn out to look like these little fat rolly polly heavenly beings! My gosh! Angels are supposed to be 9ft tall, they are supposed to be strong and powerful, and what do I do. I paint Pete like a stubby, chubby cherub! Hmmmmm....

I'm going to also include my other angel (cherub) painting called, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty Who Was and is to Come!" Rev.4:8.....Please, I just don't know why these fatsos come out! They're cute, but not heavenly..

Enjoy

PS - I hope you all have an incredible weekend and holiday - bye - Until Monday

IT'S HERE!

 

ATTACHED

(price to be determined once I include this in my new up and coming ETSY store)

 

 

That's right! I finally brought home my baby today. Yes, I'm excited because I now officially have a decent photographer....yaaaaa!

ATTACHED has now officially come into existence. Trust me, as an artist we get excited about certain paintings. This is one. It's a larger one and that is exciting because lately I have been painting in very small formats. This is a good thing...

 

ATTACHED is a very special painting because it depicts my soulish self attached to my face. What do I mean by the soul? We are made up of a soul (all of our mundane passions and desires), and a Spirit. No, it is not the Holy Spirit.

 

So we walk through our lives with these two things that are literally in us and that when we die will go to heaven or hell. That's it. Our bodies decay, but our soul and spirit do not die!

 

Now what we do with the soul and spirit within us depends on how we lead our lives. If we only cater to mundane carnal issues, and we don't feed our spiritual side, our soul will be one big, fat rolly polly and sassy entity. If we are born again (we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts), and we begin to live a more Godly life, our Spirit will begin to get larger, larger, larger, and larger until our Soul becomes this itsy, bitsy little entity.

 

So for now this painting depicts our soul, which is attached to the front of this human's forehead.

 

I find as a human being with lots of defects I am constantly in a struggle to make my beautiful Spirit larger, and to placate the soul. It is a never ending struggle.

 

I hope you have enjoyed this peek into my heart.

 

I wish you all the best.
