Dear Friends,
Isn't it lovely how we get to inspire each other in so many ways through social media these days? I gleaned inspiration for this art journal page from several sources. A number of online friends (many at His Kingdom Come) have shown how they prep their pages for taking sermon notes. Another source (I can't remember it) suggested painting random shapes and doodling frames around them; later, notes can be written in the shapes. (I added my notes later.)
The Time Warp Wife has a You Tube video where she shows how to easily create beautiful roses and banners. I adore drawing the roses. I finally stopped myself from drawing more.
The real star of the page is my lamp. It started with a random doodle that I really liked, though it took me a while figure out what it was. Once I envisioned it as a lamp shade, I went to work cutting out a base for it out of black card stock. I dry and heat embossed it and then glued my lamp onto my page, adding the only scripture that came to my mind about a lamp.
During our family worship time last night the Lord brought to my mind Jesus' parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25. Five brought extra oil for their lamps and five did not.
Family worship is not something we have been doing for very long. In fact, we started just this past summer and sometimes we miss. Sometimes we don't feel like doing it and our resolve is weak. Last night I sensed the Lord wanted to affirm us in this, even though we don't do it perfectly or even consistently.
This DESIRE puts me in mind of an old song:
Give me oil in my lamp; keep me burnin'.
Give me oil in my lamp today.
Give me oil in my lamp; keep me burnin, burnin, burnin.
Keep me burnin 'til the light of day.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I appreciate your visit and look forward to reading your comments.
Blessing hugs,
Teresa
