Doing it three times is only the beginning of what you and I can do to approach a subject. My current teacher is pushing doing 20 thumbnail sketches! Why? Because 3-4 sketches in, looking at a thing from different angles, trying different ways of fr…
$5000 monthly household expenses? A $7000 month's income? Whoa... I cannot relate. My self-employed husband and I are managing with $7000 net income for a YEAR, 2008 and 2009. He's a contractor, hit by the housing downturn, and I am an artist and gr…
Hi Denise and thanks so much for the quick reply. I was hoping some artists were checking in here to keep the fellowship alive! You've made my day!
I will pray an anointing for that boots painting. What medium? Can't wait to see it. Why not paint t…
I draw and paint in my Artist's Day Book, an idea I got from attending a Creative Call seminar and reading Janet Elsheimer's book. It has revolutionized my life, integrating my painting and drawing skills with my journaling, which is my way of think…
Denise, go for adding watercolor to your journal! I have since July 2007 and it is wonderful (as in I am really full of wonder over what it has done for me!) There is nothing like just painting for oneself and God, and that's what painting in a jour…
Just noticed you joined Ransomed Heart -- WELCOME! So glad you became a member. This is a great place to develop relationships with others who are making life count.
Great to see someone from Akron, OH! I have many extended family members from the Canton and Akron area.
You might like The Money Pit, a group devoted to keeping money from standing between you and a life well lived. There are some great discussions going on that could be very helpful for you.
Everybody ends up on those dead ends at one time or another.
What's frustrating to you right now....why do you feel you're at a dead end? If you want to talk more one on one send me a message here on RH or to my email at brent@leadershipequip.com.…
I'm sorry Nicholas - I got in a hurry and used the wrong name....I apologize.
I'm convinced that we all need good mentors....in life...and to help us decipher our callings.
How is the men's breakfast going? Any opportunity for a sage/mentor there?…
Brent i see you included my entry but address your comment to Gary, i will give you a quick response i am finding it tough at the moment i have been praying for a sage/mentor to come alongside and its really difficult i suspect God is asking to look…
Jonathan, I remember years ago God healed me physically of a bad back. My friend prayed for me, was not touching me herself, and I felt this warmth on my back and then presuure, more pressure, till eventually the bone that was out of place God put b…
Eve, I am a very "self protective" person, however, when God asks me to go to church or mix with christians that puts me in my "uncomftable zone" I will do it because I love His body. So I do think it is possible to be both self protective but not w…
Thanks for your comment Isha.
Gary, your example also reminds me of how Jeus walked in perfect peace....no fear...yeah! I wana know Him more too! I want that peace that flows like a river and never ends! There is SO much more in Him!
Jim, welcome back!
I was wondering how your work with your teenage son was going! I am glad Pat flushed you out of hiding!
You do remember that hiding (or passivity) is the sin of Adam don't you? We need to get back into the fray even when it scar…
A group for Cigar/Pipe enthusiasts who enjoy a good conversation a little deeper than just sports or politics (although those topics aren't necessarily off limits!).
Was praying for you Deborah - that He would shine His light so you will be able to see the truth from the lies, renounce "agreements" you have made, and come into a larger place of freedom . . .
When studying the verse, "Come unto me (Jesus) all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Learn of me, for I am meek and gentle of heart," I read one author defining meek as being the opposite of anger - which led me to James whe…
Just joined Ransomedheart.net... I'm in Colorado Springs and an aspiring writer, and looking for others who appreciate a walk with God that extends beyond "traditional" church walls. i see this group is small... but maybe we can stir things up? I lo…
