Jesus Hold my Hand

For some reason when I feel all alone or when Life is at its worst. 

I am at the end of my rope!  

That is when I want Jesus to take me by the hand and lead me. 

When Creating this picture people from the Holocaust c

ame to my mind 

or People who silently suffer because they believe in Christ. 

I imagine that daily they clasp their hands together and cry out

"Jesus Hold my Hand." 

God is Waiting

Do you ever feel like you keep praying and praying and God is not there?  I feel that way a lot...  I wish that some how God would just speak to me like he did Adam and Eve.  Unfortunately that isn't the way He works.  Some times I feel like this little girl looks..  Time keeps ticking and I keep waiting... I forget that God works outside the continuum of time and space.  I forget that my timing is not His timing...  So when I don't hear his voice or feel his leadership all I can do is just sit and WAIT.......

Prayer to God the Mender of Dreams....

When I saw this lady and baby I immediately thought of the 23rd psalm.  

The pain on her face and this baby laying asleep at her knees

 in my mind she had just received news.  Maybe her Husband had just lost his life in an accident at work?

NOW everything that gave her stability isgone and God is the only one she can turn to. 

The Lady in the back is one of the Saints

or

maybe her Mother who is cheering her own saying you can do it... 

You can keep the Faith....

You are not alone!

God alone is the mender of our shattered dreams. 

Prayer for Lonely...

Tribute to Grandma Davila!

This lady reminds me of my wifes Grandmother.

She was an angel.

She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. 

She always enjoyed having her family around her. 

 In her last days she had to live in a nursing home and she always looked so lonely when we left....
It always made me sad... 

ART PRAYERS

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

FOR A DAY WELL SPENT.

I have started a new body of work I am calling "Art Prayers".

I found this really cool musem information folder from the fortys.  Inside were pictures from the exhibit that I have cut out and used as collage elements to creat this series. 

They are all done on 4x4 Ampersand artist panels.

This girl looked so peaceful.  It looks like she was on her knees praying and fell asleep while thanking God for the day that she loved.   

Just a Chick.....

I enjoy making simple atc's some time.  I saw a little chick on TV and it was my inspiration for this card. 

I picked up my oil pastels and went to work on black pastel paper.  I thought in the end the little Chicken looked very regal and important walking around all alone at sunset.... I placed this card in a black 8X10 matt.  He is ready to be framed and placed on the wall to enjoy...  Hope you like him..
