Art Journaling This Week

I continue to work in my Documented Life Project journal each week. I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself! I have a habit of getting tired of something ~ classes, challenges, etc ~ before it is finished. I'm a great starter! I love the planning and the creative energy that comes with starting a new project. So, I am feeling pretty proud of myself that I have worked on this project every week. We are now in the 21st week and getting close to the halfway mark of the year. Wow! I am going to squeeze the month of June into my journal and then start a new journal for the second half of the year. My journal binder has really become very fat!

Last week Mindy Lacefield started a group/course called "Sunday Mornings". (Check it out here: Sunday Mornings) Mindy has a habit of attending church on Sunday mornings and then going home and making art inspired from her worship experience. She has now invited others into her experience. I'm following along as I feel inspired. Last week I didn't participate in the portrait challenge she had cuz I just don't paint that way. But she also had a writing prompt which did inspire me to do some art journaling. Her prompt was "Lord lead me to your light..." and immediately I thought of Philippians 2:15-16.

The Sabbath theology study group I was a part of over the past few months has become our current Sunday series. Our website if you're interested: Grace Church Toledo, just click on the messages tab. Also on the blog tab you can see some resources we put together about Sabbath. One resource not included on that page is a blog I found recently Redemption's Beauty. Shelly Miller writes regularly about Sabbath. Below I art journaled a quote from one of her articles:

Last is just a random art journal page. I enjoy art journaling quotes and I love playing with painted paper!

I hope you found time to do the things that give you energy and joy this week. We are heading to my sister's for the weekend for a bridal shower and to just hang out with family at the lake, Enjoy the first holiday weekend of the summer!
