Day 4: Numbers


Hello Day 4: Numbers -GROW
Today was very difficult for me with this project. I really did not understand a lot of the things I read as well as not knowing how i wanted to portray it in today's piece. In numbers the people begin to grow with more people as well as grow in there faiths. I really wanted to use the numbers because of size and more and more people, but ultimately more people grew in there faiths. That is were the word comes from today is grow so that we can grow in our faiths. My art piece today was not what i really wanted to use but you have to have lots of failed pieces to get the good ones so... Well i hope you all like and and i hope it portrays the message.

numbers 3:49-51 So Moses collected the redemption money from those who exceeded the number redeemed by the Levites. From the 273 firstborn Israelites he collected silver weighing 1,365 shekels according to the Sanctuary shekel. Moses turned over the redemption money to Aaron and his sons, as he was commanded by the word of God.

Day 3: Leviticus



Hello Day 3: Leviticus -GOD'S
Today when i was going through Leviticus the first thing that was in my head when i read the bible was offerings. At church when we give offerings is usually 10 percent of what you get. Even though we can always give way more. In the end it is all God's thats were todays word is from God's because He owns everything. You think that money is yours? You are so wrong that is all God's and when you tithe He will provide for you what you need and that is a promise. Just watch and see it happen in your own life. I really wanted to show a big message with todays work so i showed in my photographs how God has all and you have nothing because it is all His.

Leviticus 27:30
30 “One tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain from the fields or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord and must be set apart to him as holy. 31 If you want to buy back the Lord’s tenth of the grain or fruit, you must pay its value, plus 20 percent. 32 Count off every tenth animal from your herds and flocks and set them apart for the Lord as holy.

Day 2: Exodus


Hello Day 2: Exodus -ACTION
For today the first thing i thought of for Exodus was Moses and the burning bush. So today my main focus in Exodus was chapter 3 and 4. It focused on God telling Moses what He wanted him to do. But Moses was like can't you send someone else like my brother. So today was a fun day so i got to go to the park! and take action!! Which God wanted Moses to take action, so that's where the word for today comes from. So i decided to work with a photograph today. I went to the park and wrote on stairs "When God calls, we must respond with ACTION!!!" Then i photographed it and decided to make just a big statement on it! Which you can see by the picture i posted with today's blog. It was really fun for me to do this because i played around with pictures and on the computer to make today's art. Also i thought it was pretty awesome how i wrote that out at a park!! So i really hope lots of people go there and see it!!! So i might have more things like that because i like that other people can to see it outside with the chalk. Also i took some pictures of my friend Ashley at the park so if you want to check them out of
Facebook you can!

Exodus 3:11-15

11 But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?”

12 God answered, “I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.”

13 But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?”

14 God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am.a]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[a] Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh,b]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[b] the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.

This is my eternal name,
my name to remember for all generations.

Day 1: Genesis

Hello Day 1: Genesis -TEMPTATIONS
For Genesis when i started reading the first thing i think of is creations and temptations. Then i think of what i am going to do with this. Well i wanted to experiment with color so i used color pencils to see the different effect of creating the apple form. Then i wanted to use color because I think of creation i think of color and nature and the apple comes from a tree (nature). Also i wanted to say something about temptation because without it, we would not have sinned and then without it there would have been no reason for Jesus to come and die on the cross for all our sins. So the apple is also standing for temptation which is actually a great thing because without temptation we would not have sinned and then Jesus wouldn't have died for our sinned so i guess i am saying i am grateful for temptations. This chapter i focused on for this was Genesis 3.


Genesis 3:6 [artwork]
6 The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.

66 Words...

I'm BACK!!!

Time for some new blog post! Sorry I have not posted in FOREVER.... But it is time for new stuff! Well i haven't posted anything i have been doing but that's fine because you don't need to know everything i am doing ha ha. Well I am about to start a project on my blog and i will try to keep it on my Facebook as well. Its called 66 Words... and it stands for the 66 books of the bible! Something God has given me is my talent in art and i want to use it for Him. So for the next 66 days i will attempt some sort of art project everyday to relate to that book of the bible and i will tell you why i choose that one word to represent that book of the bible. I will not be reading each book of the bible everyday that's why I will most likely do second parts to this project. I will be focusing on what i feel God is telling me that day through what i read in that specific book of the bible that day. I will be doing anything from a quick sketch to a photograph or a quick snap shot on my cell phone even paint colors i think represent that days word. I really am excited for this project because it will help me have a better knowledge of the bible and have a better relationship with God and learn more about His amazing word everyday and for it to be on the Internet so many people can read and decide to open up their bible. I really hope you decide to follow this project and I cant wait to start! :)

BEACH pictures!













































































So i left camp and went to my cousins house to go to their graduation and now i am at their house on the beach so i will post some photos from here. I havent taken any other photos besides the ones today at the beach but hopefully i will get more things started. So camp was such a great experience. We did things like trust falls from high platforms to having to use your whole team to get each member over a high wall. Alot of these activitys were realting to trusting God in all that He has in store for you. Then i chose missions as my track and it was so great doing that and making a difference in all those peoples lifes. We went to an ashymers home and talked to people there. Then we went to a brain trama center and sang to them and did puppetts. Then the next day we played with children at a day care. These people really just spoke to me to hear what they have to say. Some things that people were going through just broke my heart exspecially what these children are going through. It really just made me want to work more with people and become a missionary. This summer i am going to Puerto Rico on an mission trip and i think after that it will deffinatly be more clear if i should become a missionary after that trip. So that whole week really just got to my heart. So today is father's day so.. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!! Love you! So since i am not in town i only got to talk to my Dad on the phone but instead me and my cousins made father's day cards and handed them out to old folks at a retirement home. Them tommorrow i am going home and tuesday i get to start my summer internship, so i am super stoked about that. Them wednesday night i am leaving town again to go to the beach with my friend. So thats a little bit thats going on right now. I hope you all are doing great! God Bless! thanks for reading ;)
