Forgiveness

My next painting would be about forgiveness... Prayer paintings usually come to me before the words, but this time the process is different... Watching Dr Who last night really moved me to see myself and my heart in very new light... I became painfully aware of things in my heart that were not good, God really pointed to me unforgiveness towards few people that has been deeply rooted in my heart for several years... I pray for God's Love, Grace and Mercy to transform me through forgiveness and healing....

I actualy began painting this prayer yesterday and felt very puzzled as I did not understand what God was trying to tell me....

Things becoming clearer and I completed the painting tonight...

searching and new openings... hopes for new year

Spending some time praying and searching how my prayer picture could speak to variety of people - becoming much more aware the pain in people and their allergy to anything with church, religion... how to let my heart to be more open, to pray more and to grow in faith, grow in ministry, in listening to God's call? I heard so many inspiring words and I know this is my journey, I cannot copy anyone else... Inspiration is for me an invitation, an openint... I would like this new year 2012 to be the year of new openings. I would like to be open to God in new ways, grow deeper, grow in faith, grow in trust... there is so much to learn and live... Few friends asked us recently what are our hopes for new year... so many words can be said and so often words are just not enough... my prayer continues to be prayer for openess - openess to growth, healing, openess to God's love. Messy Church yesterday was wonderful experience of God's presence - what happens when people are inspired and creative... Earlier today I decided to start one more blog - about creativity ... will see what happens. Aim of that new blog would be to use my drawings and paintings and other creative media to let them speak - and maybe to speak to more people... I pray for God's wisdom and healing. I pray for peace and love.
