It's been awhile!

It's been awhile... I haven't been painting much. Medical issues and life in general. So I got inspired a few days ago seeing this painting and found myself wanting to try my hand at painting it, and do some abstract cityscape. It was relaxing and I really enjoyed painting it!. Enjoy! God Bless. MW 16x20 Acrylic, most using pallet knife.

Some encouragement 

It has been a very challenging last few weeks, which is why I haven't posted.  If you would, I humbly ask for your prayers.  Lots of changes in my life and my only focus is to do Gods will for my life and my direction.    I just wanted to share a few passages of scripture that I believe with all my heart.  I have been blessed beyond my means spirituality and also by my healing of this body that has been physically and mentally broken for the last 26 years and the therapy of Art as a way of expressing my emotions and feelings.    My kids are healthy and my second grandchild, my grandson will have a little sister to protect.     I am a blessed man only by the grace of god.     Yes, I am preaching today!    I am a sinner just like anyone who reads this, but everyday I am forgiven and good lord willing I wake up and say THANK YOU JESUS!  I am surely not ashamed of my faith in Jesus Christ!   

Lastly....Yesterday is gone and to be forgotten.     Let it go....move forward, one step, one hour, one day at a time.   Forgive and make the most out of everyday!    Your missing out on people to love and support you, and to give you peace.    Don't say your not ready or their yet because tomorrow is not promised....live for today!

God Bless and take a couple of minutes to read what gods word has to say....Galatians 5:13-26

Life by the Spirit

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 

14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 

15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 

17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 

20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 

21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness

23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
