Do or Do Not, There is no try

I think I need to make a plaque or something with this inscription because it really does seem to fit this season we are in around here. This can be applied to so many areas of our lives and to our parenting journeys… trust me I know about parenting challenges. I hear these things so many times from my kids… I tried but I couldn’t do it. I did make changes in my attitude but no one…

Have Some Spiritual Discernment (Deuteronomy 13:1-5)

"It is the nature of false prophets to create a conscience where there is none, and to cause conscience to disappear where it does exist." Martin Luther

Prophet, by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, 1902 Prophets or interpreters of dreams may promise a miracle or a wonder, in order to lead you to worship and serve gods that you have not worshiped before. Even if what they promise comes true, do not pay any attention to them. The Lord your God is using them to test you, to see if you love the Lord with all your heart. Follow the Lord and honor him;…

No pastors, nor incorporated, so-called, “Christian” churches. Absolutely no human being between you and your Creator. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking…

Jesus Said, “Of That Day And Hour No One Knows but the the Father.”

Jesus said, Of That Day And Hour No one Knows_ not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Mark 13:32 This is the third video in a series of Time lapse prayer paintings I’ve done since Sunday. I published them on YouTube. I rarely publish my Timelapse paintings. But these I felt inspired to share because they are for the most part, efforts to paint with my non dominant, or…

Scriptures Meditations

Anointed day to you beloved of God! The scripture below is not one to read once or twice…it is one to meditate on daily. There is a relentless adversary that you can’t just simply ignore, thinking he will go away. There is warfare raging that will not just blow away. There are weapons to master and to put to use that are mighty and effective only through God. There is the armour to put on and…

Art Over Content

I post sporadically because I am a creative artist not a content creator. In 2020, Holy Spirit instructed me to “keep creating”. He wasn’t speaking of content but only that which He anointed my hands and mind to create. So, this year that is my primary & singular focus. To keep creating. In 2022, God showed me in tremendous ways that He does not need the help of social media (or myself for that…

Instead, his delight is in the Yahweh’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its…

This is the Lord’s House

The one thing I ask of the Lord— the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple. Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭4‬ Growing up, my uncle had a ‘cabin’ on a lake a couple hours north of where we lived. I use the word ‘cabin’ in quotes because what my uncle referred to as the cabin was not what I would think of a…
