2012: A Year to Focus on God's Faithfulness
Stacy Lee




I'd like to bring in the New Year focusing on God's faithfulness. He has always been true to His promises and to who He is in the Word. I'd encourage you to start out the New Year right-- by focusing on Him. Living a life devoted to Jesus requires total abandonment to Him. We give up our lives and our rights to our own life. We no longer focus on ourselves and what we want but on God and want He wants. We no longer make decisions for our own lives-- we let God make those decisions for us as we walk in surrender. My prayer is this... that we would not focus on our plans for the New Year--but lay them down at His feet and surrender to His plans. Let's learn to trust Him again and give ourselves wholly over to Him. Let's pursue Him with our whole Hearts and trust Him to know what's best for us and His Kingdom.

For those of us in a valley, let's have faith for a harvest. For those of us on a mountaintop, let's pursue just as hard after Him as we did when times were rough. Let's let 2012 be a year about Him and not a year about us.

Amen.

Eve's Garden: New Contemporary Christian Art

Eve's Garden


This artwork is about God restoring and redeeming Eve. Although she fell and was kicked out of the Garden of Eden, God is building her an even better garden where she will live forever. This time nothing will be able to tempt her to fall because of the sacrifice Jesus made for her on the cross.
His Promise:
For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. ~Jeremiah 24:6
God reminded me of how He sees His beautiful creation during the creation of this piece. It's so sad to see so many women struggle with their appearance in light of knowing how beautiful they really are in the eyes of God. I hope this piece will encourage women when they see this artwork. This is how God sees you! You are beautiful-- your spirit is overflowing with His love and mercy! And to go along with it, He is building you a beautiful garden that will never be destroyed by the enemy. You can count on it :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you next year :)
