My painting to represent 2016!

  "I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus. I will give them fountains of water in the valleys. I will fill the desert with pools of water. Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground." Isaiah 41:18
"For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland." Isaiah 43:18
Have an amazing New Year!

Mind be Renewed!

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 NIV

Science is confirming what the Bible teaches us. Negative thoughts hurt our mind. I painted this painting thinking of trees and ocean, life, and thoughts. God showed me, and many other people who have viewed it that it represents our thoughts being renewed in His glory and presence. The tree-like design are the dendrites in our brains that grow or shrink depending on our choices and environment. When we have positive thoughts our dendrites can look like healthy lush trees.

"They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do." Psalms 1:3 NLT

When we have negative thoughts like hatred, unforgiveness, ungratefulness, etc. . The dendrites in our brain can wither and look like dead trees.  We need Christ's presences day to day to renew our minds and bring life, creativity, and joy! Be filled with joy and peace as you seek the Lord and His creativity and life abundant.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10 ESV
