Bible Journaling - Healing

Bible Journaling provides so many benefits.  It calms me, allows me to meditate, allows me to feel closer to God, and provides many of the benefits of a prayer journal. Today, I am sharing two pages I have recently done focusing on healing. One was done for a friend of mine and one for my husband.  Both are dealing with some longer term and very serious health issues.  I have been praying the medicine works, their bodies heal, and the doctors are doing the right things.

I have to tell you that it has been scary and confusing in my husband's case.  At first we just thought it would be a few days of high power antibiotics. Then that turned to weeks, then other issues arose, and now we are facing surgery.  The good news is he has quit smoking and is eating very healthy.  This woke him up to the dangers of smoking and not treating diabetes seriously.

Bible Journaling and praying have been anchors for me during this struggle.  Be sure and add both my friend and my husband to your prayer list.

On this page, I focused on how big our troubles can seem.  Jonah knew his troubles were very big when he was running from God and was swallowed by a large fish.  He knew deep down he couldn't outrun or out convince God.
On this page I focused on Acts 28:8-10 where Paul prayed over the people on the island and, through God's power, he healed them.  I drew a foot that looks a lot like my sweet hubby's foot.  He is missing his big toe, but he does have three hammer toes that look like these. I have had several answered prayers with his foot, but there is a risk he may lose more of it and we don't want that outcome.

I used my new Arteza brush pens - I love the way they look!  I will have to do page prep with them in the future.  I apologize for the picture quality - I have a new computer today and haven't figured out how to crop very well with it yet.
Many hugz!

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
