Garden of E'den ~ Enjoy the Beauty of the Simple Things

I had started this project a couple of years ago, I was even in the process of recording a video for it, but when I made a decision to delete all my social media accounts, I didn't see a need to finish the tutorial, so I deleted it. Well, I did make some time last year to complete it and now I would like to share it with you. 

Be sure to "Enjoy the Beauty" of the simple things.

Genesis 2:8, 9, 15

8 Further, Jehovah God planted a garden in Eʹden, toward the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 Thus Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree that was pleasing to look at and good for food and also the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.

15 Jehovah God took the man and settled him in the garden of Eʹden to cultivate it and to take care of it.

Matthew 7:13,14

13 “Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it;

14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it.

Matthew 24: 20,21

 20 Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day;  

21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.

Love Never Fails ~ Memories

The past Assembly in 2019 titled "Love Never Fails" was very memorable for me, something of a special meaning that cannot be explained. As I go through my trials, I always refer to the Bible for comfort, but there were times where I will go to my other love...the love of Art.

Blog Post:

• Memories ~ The Cloud

Excerpt...

""Love Never Fails"

 

The very last day of the assembly, as we got on the highway heading home, the vision in the sky, a beautiful array of cumulus clouds were spread across the skies. As I was looking out the window admiring the skies, as I often did and still do, I suddenly started paying close attention to the clouds, they were beyond beautiful that day.

As I was looking at the clouds, one in particular suddenly stood out, I had to do a double take...I was caught in Time. My hands pressed against the car window, I had instant butterflies in my stomach, and for a moment, it actually caught my breath, Awe-Inspiring to say the least. It was a massive cloud, it looked like it went from the Heavens to the ground here on Earth. The sun rays where shining through it in an array of rainbow colors, the most beautiful and familiar feeling in the world. 

  "I saw it before, as a child, exactly as it was", there was no doubt in my mind.

At that very moment, I knew Jehovah was with me and reminding me."

Like Jehovah's Word, art also brings me peace. Although this project was created in 2019, it is one of my newer projects, I never got a chance to share it, but it is very fitting for how I feel today...Love Never Fails.

I thank Jehovah, who is my God and my Father in heaven!

Matthew 6:6 ASV — But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

1 Corinthians 13:8-10 ASV — Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

1 Corinthians 14:1-2 ASV — Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Psalm 34:18 ASV — Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

Generations - Limited Edition

Here is a vintage page I also created several years ago as a design team member at Art Anthology. From generation to generation many of us face a lot of dark places, places we don't want to be in or go to. As I go through my journey and study of the bible, I realize more and more why it was so important for me to return to my roots. 

It's s a beautiful thing, to be able to smile again, as I did as a child. I've truly been blessed.

I do thank Jehovah, our God, who is my heavenly Father.

Proverbs 4:18

But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light 

That grows brighter and brighter until full daylight. 

Ephesians 2:1, 2

1 Furthermore, God made you alive, though you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 

2 in which you at one time walked according to the system of things of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience

2 Corinthians 4:6

 For God is the one who said: “Let the light shine out of darkness,” and he has shone on our hearts to illuminate them with the glorious knowledge of God by the face of Christ.

She Was Herself Again ~ Contented Spirit

Examining the Scriptures Daily

Psalms 131:2 

 I have calmed and quieted my soul... I am contented like a weaned child.

When our life takes an unexpected turn, the changes that we have to face may cause us apprehension and emotional stress. (Prov. 12:25) 

We may even find it hard to accept those changes. In such circumstances, how can we ‘calm and quiet’ our soul? (Ps. 131:1-3) 

 Despite adverse circumstances, we today can experience firsthand the soothing effect of “the peace of God” that guards our mental powers. (Phil. 4:6, 7) 

Thus, if we turn to Jehovah when we feel overwhelmed by anxiety, God’s peace can strengthen our determination to reach spiritual goals and guard us against any tendency to give up. In addition to calming us down, God’s spirit can draw our attention to key scriptures that will help us to keep our spiritual priorities.​—John 14:26, 27.

Journey

What an Amazing journey that I have been on, for about a year now. As I have reflected on my past, the memories of my childhood to where I am today, I'm still amazed by it all. I know that I'm on my way to something so beautiful, peaceful and loving and the more I draw closer to Jehovah, the more clear that picture becomes. I have been truly blessed.

Leviticus 25:10 ASV — And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

John 8:36 ASV — If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Isaiah 61:1 ASV — The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Mark 1:22 ASV — And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

Have a beautiful day.

By the Moments in Time

There are moments in time that I now reflect on, that have brought me back to where I am today, moments that can easily take my breath away. The time has definitely come for me to be back home, some words I just couldn't begin to express. Step by step video posted below.

Psalm 91:9-11 ASV — For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.

Psalm 91:14-16 ASV — Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
