<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">His Kingdom Come believes that there is great power in the Word of God. Many people choose one word that represents what they want to see more of in their life during a year. There are websites and books dedicated to this. New Year resolutions come and go very quickly, but this process is allowing God to work in your life and for your focus to become His word for you that lasts an entire year in your life. People choose this word through thoughts or through a word occurring in their reading or devotion time that “speaks” to them. At His Kingdom Come we believe that God will guide us to what he wants to see more of in our lives during the year. </span></div>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">The logos365™ project is our way of finding your word through prayer, bible study and reflection. What do you do with your logos365™? You live with it, you invite it into your life, and you let it speak to you. You follow where it leads you. Your logos365™ is not some promise you will keep for the rest of the year to be better. The intent of your word is that it will become a part of your for the rest of your life. Your word builds upon each other each year, and springs forth from the places you feel you left off from your previous word. Each word you choose builds upon each other as God’s heart becomes embedded in your character. So, the question is </span></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">As you consider selecting a word for yourself this year, remember there is no right or wrong choice. Words like abide, abundance, obey, expect, prayer, surrender, delight, submit and listen can be a very powerful experience as you allow God to guide you in your word. This happens in your daily life, in prayer, relationships and bible study. </span></div>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">So how do you find your logos365™? Feel free to use the self- assessment tools posted at His Kingdom Come in the logos365™ group to help you identify your word and to set some personal goals around your word. If you have participated in a one word program before choose the logos365™ returning student worksheet, or if you are totally new to the process use the logos365™ new student worksheet.</span></div>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">To make logos365™ real in your life, consider keeping a logos365™ journal, or creating a scrapbook or a photo book. Keeping a journal throughout the year is crucial to making this word project not just a new year’s resolution, but a change in your walk- a transformation! If you are participating in the take me deeper process, then you can incorporate your logos365™ into your journal. If you are not participating in the take me deeper process here are some logos365™ suggestions. </span></div>

His Kingdom Come is so excited to announce the preparations are done and we are ready to launch</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
Take Me Deeper™ is a free weekly journey at His Kingdom Come beginning Friday, January 2 2015. Take Me Deeper™ will be a weekly devotional and verse that will prompt us to spending time in His word. It is about each of us encouraging, sharing and studying the word. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
Each week you will get the opportunity to translate bible study into art- mixed media, a journal, a photograph, or a digital page, poem, music. Every Friday HKC will post a verse, devotional, worship video and examples of how we interpreted the bible study in our art. We pray that these 52 weeks will change how you approach, engage and apply God’s word in your life and art. At the end of the year regardless of how many weeks you participated, you will have created a legacy of the faith walk. This legacy will show you how God has moved in your life!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
Insert video here- found on YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fv9ccT6Jak&list=UURK_tCQ4vngT8PxJ5rIpQDA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fv9ccT6Jak&list=UURK_tCQ4vngT8PxJ5rIpQDA</a> </div>

<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<ul>
<li class="li6"><b></b><span class="s1"><b>Who can join?</b></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p4">
We welcome anyone who wants to take their faith walk deeper into understanding God’s Word and deeper into their creativity. We will begin January 2, but you can join at any time during the year. You can’t be “behind” since this is about your personal journey with God and your creativity. The community at His Kingdom Come will walk with you, support and encourage you!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li class="li6"><b></b><span class="s1"><b>Where will the devotionals be?</b></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p4">
Posts will be on the HKC site and on the HKC Facebook Page.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li class="li6"><b></b><span class="s1"><b>Where can I share and discuss my preferred art medium?</b></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p4">
Discussions will be across all the art mediums, so feel free to check out each art group for ideas, questions, suggestions and creative ideas.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li class="li6"><b></b><span class="s1"><b>So how do I start?</b></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p4">
First, become a member of His Kingdom Come. It is free and the first step in accessing all the creativity on the site. Beginning December 2014, HKC will have suggestions for making a journal, decorating a journal, what journal to use, and supplies to gather.</div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<ul>
<li class="li6"><b></b><span class="s1"><b>If I am doing other projects, can I incorporate them into Take Me Deeper? </b></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p4">
Yes, if you are part of the Journaling Bible community, or any other art community or project, you can mesh all the projects together. Take Me Deeper will assist you in reading your bible, understanding God’s word, and helping you learn how to express your God-given creativity.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li class="li6"><b></b><span class="s1"><b>What about One Little Word or My One Word? How does that fit into this process? </b></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p4">
So glad you asked! Part of Take me deeper will be the opportunity to participate in Logos365™- finding the word God gives you to focus on for an entire year. Logos365™ will be a component of Take Me Deeper. We will offer a worksheet for you to use to discover your logos365™, discussions about how to identify your logos365™ and how to live your logos365™ out through the year. Then, monthly Logos365™ prompts will initiate discussions about how you are doing living your word.</div>

Welcome to a very exciting blog hop. Today we are celebrating the launch of a brand new online Christian Creative Community: His Kingdom Come.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
This is an online Community where fellow Christians can encourage, share and learn about Christianity and explore the God-given creativity that he has put in us all. It will be a safe place to share your faith, be inspired, and explore creativity across many art mediums - journaling, mixed media, painting, bible journaling, textiles, watercolor and more. His Kingdom Come will offer free tutorials, technique classes, devotionals, crafts to celebrate the holidays, opportunities to go deeper in your faith and in your knowledge of God and the Bible. The website will also offer Christian artists a platform to host classes (free or fee-based) which you will be able to sign up for.</div>

It is worshipping in God's Word with your art. It has really reignited a passion for His Word in my life. My art is simple and many of my entries are inspired from others in the Journaling Bible Community, but they are all helping me see His Word with fresh eyes!<br />
<br />
This has led to me becoming a part of a new Christian community, <a href="http://www.his-kingdom-come.com/">His Kingdom Come,</a> which will be launched on November 1, 2014 with a blog hop. I will be moderating the Bible Journaling group and I am pretty excited! I hope that you will all join us!<br />

This paper was from one of Shonna Bucaroff's free online classes </div>

This was an exercise from the Beth Moore study, Children of the Day, that I am in at the moment. It was a "repeat after me" about giving up control. I painted a back round on tracing paper (inspired from a pin on Pinterest) and then wrote the "repeat" on top of in and used washi tape to tape it into my Bible. I need this "repeat" so much that I made it my phone's lock screen wallpaper. :)</div>

It even gives me a great way to add the sermon notes that really speak to me to my Bible vs keeping them in a notebook that I won't look at again once it's filled. </div>

Well, I didn't do very well at keeping at this blog...but tomorrow is a new month, so we will see what happens :)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are my paintings from our group Mixed Media 30/30. I didn't complete all 30 days worth of paintings but am happy with what I've done. My journal has plenty more sketches that are just begging to be painted, so that is one of my goals for the next few days. We will continue on with this group and I am so glad, as there are such amazing women there. So supportive, encouraging and loving! How I wish that we all lived close by!</div>

But...not looking back with regret, instead looking forward with promise and excitement.<br />
<br />
Being involved in Junelle Hallstrom Jacobsen's online classes <a href="http://www.yesandamenblog.blogspot.com/">Junelle's classes</a> have been some of the best things I've ever been involved in. The classes have evolved into a group of some of the most supportive encouraging group of women that I've ever "hung out" with! Some are close to where I live but most of them are across the country and some in other countries!! <br />
<br />
This friendship and encouragement has really set me free to go forward in my own art. I feel real progress and feel that something incredible is just around the corner. I'm so excited to see what that is!!<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of projects that I've done last month. I am happy with them :)!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
one of our assignments in our wild art 2 class was to do a skyline of where we lived, so i choose san diego. i loved the way that junelle hallstrom jacobsen (one of our instructors, www.yesandamen.blogspot.com) did her new york buildings in the mono color, so i knew that i wanted to go with the black and white. my dilemma was that i loved the colors reflecting on the water. so i did half and half! i used crackle paint for the sky, paper pieced the buildings, acrylic-ed the hearts and accents on the buildings and then put watercolor paper for the water and then did wet into wet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i am pretty happy with the results. i am going to do some on canvas and see if i can get them into some of the shops in san diego :)!</div>

Here is my finished canvas for one of the projects from week 2 from my online class, Wild Art 2.<br />
I am so loving this class and am going to be so sad when it is over. Guess I will have to go and take Wild Art 1 :)!!<br />
<br />
This canvas is a replica of our sweet teacher, Junelle.<br />

I really like this canvas and may make several more of them for gifts.

I am taking Wild Art 2 with Christy Thomlison & Junelle, at www.christythomlison.typepad.com and Junelle is challenging us with sketching everyday. It was supposed to be sketching our breakfast, but I was out with Fran in a waiting room at a doctor's office. So instead of reading the magazine, I decided to pick an ad and draw what I saw. I am very happy with my results and I have found that it has awakened my love for drawing!! So I will be posting not only my assignments to this class but many more sketches of faces!!The Best Decadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06387537972960816394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701749848852162213.post-27843884757115294232012-10-25T17:35:00.002-07:002012-10-25T17:35:57.245-07:00And One For Sofia<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is a painting that I just completed for g'daugter #2, Shayla's, 5th birthday. I am pretty happy with this! Amber wants one with dark brown hair for Sofia :). When I get home from NoCA I will start on hers.<br />

The title of this painting is 7 Deadly Words. I don't usually do "dark" paintings, but these words seemed to cry out for a grungy canvas. I also had some grunge boards skeletons from Tim Holtz and figured that they fit perfectly. I attached the word "deadly" with 1/2" glue dots so they are raised from the canvas board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am actually thinking that I will hang this on the wall in my studio. I am working very hard to eliminate these words from my talk, so I think having this in front of my face :)!! I will let you know if it works!</div>

It says, "art is part of the armor for my heart". Mixed media is pretty new to me so I am still trying to find "my style". This back round is from the paper that I wrap my table in. I like the way it turned out.</div>
