Flowers remind me to STOP WORRYING because Jesus said so
I’m making some papercut flowers to add to my prayer journal, and I'm sharing my thoughts on Jesus' clear command to "consider the lilies of the field". Worrying is a problem that Jesus adressed and something he commanded us not to do. Looking at flowers can remind us of God's provision, his goodness and the importance of living fruitfully in the short time we have on this earth.
Some of the Bible Verses mentioned in this video:
Matthew 6:28 - Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow…if God so clothes the flowers of the filed…will he not much more clothe you , O you of little faith?
Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…
John 14:1 - Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God. Believe also in me.
Isaiah 40:8 - The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.
In this video, I'm sharing some papercutting and coloring techniques, ideas for creative Christians, faith based art projects, art journaling/prayer journal/faith journaling/junk journaling/ prayer bible verses, mixed media project ideas incorporating papercut flowers, using the imagery of flowers to remind you of scripture truth, encouragement for people in worry, anxiety, depression, finding hope and release through creativity and spiritual growth.

Not Junk but a Meaningful Prayer Journal
Переглядів 5 тис.14 днів тому
Junk Journaling is putting together papers, scraps, or whatever you find into a bound book - which is how I'm creating a prayer journal. In this video I'm making a bound book using paper saved from my children's childhood drawings, coloring pages, homework assignments and other scraps. It's held together with elastic (rubber bands will do the job too) and I can add or remove pages when I want. ...
Art Journaling about God Finding What was Lost
Переглядів 484Місяць тому
God said, “I will seek what was lost...” Ezekiel 34: 16. It’s God who says so, and Jesus also declares he came to seek and save The Lost. It’s his job, and we can find comfort that we can trust him to do it well. If you feel lost or know someone who is lost, or if you have experienced loss of any kind in the past, this is a word from the Bible that can really encourage you today. I’m creating a...

    I can relate to your struggle with prayer. I love the idea of a prayer journal. A regular junk journal makes no sense tome. A waste of time. But using it as a prayer journal makes perfect sense. Now all I need to do is find stuff to make the signatures since I don’t have any books or magazines. It will work out. Thank you for this video.

      You can use any paper you already have, like copy paper or notebook paper, or old notes etc. the nice thing about this kind of journal is that you can use scraps or things that relate to what you want to be praying about. Glad you’re finding the idea useful:)

In fact, you n your video have inspired me to create one (or several) of my own! I want to thank you deeply from my heart❣️ Communication and conversations with God are SO absolutely very important‼️ And deserve our taking the time to write about it, live in it n with it, decorate it n celebrate it.

And I tend to want things to be balanced and cohesive, so I appreciate your more relaxed style which sacrifices nothing by staying authentic to your process.
