Guidance and Comfort From God

1:24 p.m.
This morning I prayed to God and asked him for some direction regarding an unfortunate situation that we have found ourselves in and he more than exceeded what I asked for with his words. I asked for advice. He not only gave me that but comforted me as well. I now feel capable of proceeding boldly with the difficult decision we have to make.

This was the first message he gave me. I was very thankful as I colored it in..

This was the second. The part about calming all my fears especially spoke to us. 

Eric was very worried and concerned before he went to bed.

This morning when I showed him these verses they really put his mind at ease

and I am grateful to God for that.

This was the last one. How can we doubt that God has our back in the situation we have found 

ourselves in? It's so clear that He is here to protect us, calm our fears, and support us.

It is his direction that we are following as we pray daily for his guidance.

This is the place he has guided us too. It it wasn't why would his word speak so clearly

about it? I feel confident that we will come through this. There will be some inconvenient 

consequences, but nothing like the burden we are under now.

11:58 p.m.
Go has blessed me with so many uplifting verses today. I almost couldn't keep up as they were coming in.

This design was printed in my Inspire Bible. I added the roses, lupine flowers, and the bees because it was just the words before and that seemed to need a little embellishment.

This one was my favorite to color today because, you guessed it, it had a chickadee in it. I'm very fond of pink cherry blossoms so that's the color I made the flowers. Believe it or not there are 3 different colors of pink flowers. I used a light layer of May Green as the background and it gave the whole piece an oriental look which I love. I used two shades of red on the verse and made it look like the words were made of satin ribbon.

I had this design in my other Bible that I gave away. I'm so glad that there was a blank column on this page with the second version of the creation story so I could draw this.

Once again this verse was the lettering only and I felt it needed embellishment so I added the border and the green vine.

This one didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. It seems a bit overcrowded.

Well, that's all the art for today.
