Ultimate Journey, Right Where I believe God wants me.

Oh la la! the Seed of healing is

taking root.

The Journey Begins...

 2nd week of the

Bible Study

Titled "Healing Colors" 2008

http://www.theultimatejourney.org/

By, Christ-Life Ministries

A little more information on

this Bible Study.

It appears to be more about

 the study of self discovery and

self deception.

Here is

a thought provoking question?

How come the Israelites couldn't

enjoy the promise land and the blessings it held

for His chosen people.

Slave mentality...

They could not conceive of

a promise kept.

They did not conceive

of

a new reality...

They were stuck in their old

thought patterns.

Can people in the world today really conceive of...

a job completed,

all work finished

and a dept free life.

ALL Sins...

 forgiven

on the cross

by JESUS!

PAID IN FULL

But wait, isn't there always

work to do?

Don't we need to earn it?

It has been freely given.

The promise land is yours too!

We are all His chosen children.

When will WE truly be lead into

the promise land of healing?

Well my friends, that is where I am headed.

I told you it was deep and a little scary.

For I am seeking to change my mind set.

Renew my spirit.

Renew my mind.

Be transformed into who God created me to be. 

Titled " We are all His"

Ephesians 4:22-24

"You were taught, with regard to you former way of life,

to put off you old self, which is being

corrupted by its deceitful desires;

to be made new in the attitudes of your minds;

and to put on the new self,

created to be like God 

in true righteousness and holiness."

Change from the inside out.

Resist the negative lies

I have told myself from the past.

Wowza!

Romans 12:2

" do not conform any longer

to the pattern of this world, but

be transformed by the renewing of the mind.

Then you will be able to

test and approve of what

God's will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will."

Well, Let me know what you think so far?

I will share thoughts each week.

Although it appears to be a very

personal and a tear filled journey.

It is a very intimate group only

2 other women and a facilitator.

Created to be a safe and loving environment.

We all believe God has put us in this

group for His will and purpose.

In His perfect timing.

We have felt the Holy Spirit there

with us and I have never felt

anything like it in my life.

So although I will not share my

whole past with you.

I will share what touches my

heart and soul.

Hopefully it will  inspire you to take your

Ultimate Journey.

All Gods Blessing, Deborah

Embarking on a New Journey

LIFE

The Ultimate Journey

Unpacking the Lies of self-deception.

Deep...

Heavy...

Stuff!

I have been invited to

Join a small

Group

Bible Study

I will be  discovering

The Lies I tell Myself

which hold me back and trip

me up.

I will be seeking true freedom

in Christ.

 I will be seeking to love myself

Like Christ,

Loves me.

Letting go of all my vices.

Yikes!

Learning Better Coping Skills!

I want to grow,

I want to release my faith.

I hope to thrive and not just survive.

I'll keep you posted.

And share some inspiration.

Psalm 92: 1-2

"It is good to praise you, Lord,

to sing praises to God Most High.

It is good to tell of your LOVE

in the morning and of your loyalty at night."

Many Blessing, Deborah

Fresh Paint from the studio...Fresh Water from my Soul...

New Art

Fresh Painting

This piece is another Acrylic and Plaster..

Mixed media

Title "Moon Light on the Water"

It is an 8"x10" canvas Gallery Wrapped

Sides are painted Black.

I just love how the plaster gives the

art & water

another

Dimension,

Texture,

Depth

and

Movement.

I am really having fun with this plaster technique...

It is a medium by Golden products.

This time I intentionally manipulated the plaster.

I had a vision in my mind.

I will be listing this later today on

ETSY

Fresh Water... For the Soul

I painted the ocean because..

I love the ocean, it calls to me..

Come and rest by the shores,

come and listen to the waves.

Come and you will find peace

on the edge of  God's vastness.

The waves come forth and

touch my toes and my soul.

The waves can be calm and

cleansing,

washing away the weariness

within my soul.

So cool and refreshing,

so alive and invigorating.

Reminding me how small

I truly am.

Reminding me how

BiG

 God IS.

For just as I can not perceive the depths

of the ocean.

It can be equally hard

to perceive the depths of Gods

LOVE.

From the shore the waters of the

ocean appear never ending.

From the foot of the

cross I can see God's Love

IS never ending.

The rhythm of the waves

remind me of the

rhythm of life.

The rhythm of

give and take,

the rhythm of

the storms in life and

the times when life is

peaceful and calm.

Water...

Water Gives Life

Water washes away the sins

of the world.

Water restores

the dying seed.

Jesus is the Water Of Life.

The ocean reminds me

of the peace

I have found in

Jesus.

And that my friends is why I love the ocean.

I hear it calling me.

I hear God calling me into

 his vastness of LOVE.

And God Loves YOU Too!

John 4:14 (New International Version)

14 but whoever drinks the water I give him

 will never thirst.

 Indeed, the water I give him will become in him

a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

Have a creative and blessed

weekend.

All you have to do is reach out,

His arms arms are open and waiting

hurry up and sign up!

When we use our gifts and talents we illuminate Christ.

When we use them for His Glory we

are being transformed into

the Likeness of Christ.

As, Paul wrote,

"16 But whenever anyone turns

 to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the

 Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

 18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect

 the Lord's glory, are being transformed into

 his likeness with ever-increasing glory,

 which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

The more we seek Christ,

The more we reflect

who He Is.

Consider being a bright

reflection...

Consider being a Mirrored

 image...

Consider reflecting all Gods Glory...

"Let your light shine, before men

that they may see your

good deeds and Praise your

Father in Heaven."

Matthew 5:16 NIV
