PLEASE STAND UP!

 
"UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND"
 
 
 
PLEASE STAND UP!
 
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I ASK YOU TO STRAIGHTEN YOURSELF UP AND STAND UP.
 
I'M BEGGING YOU TO TURN YOURSELF OVER
AND
STAND UP!
 
YOU CAN'T STAY CAPSIZED, FLOATING IN NEVER NEVER LAND FOREVER!
 
YOU ARE CURRENTLY UPSIDE DOWN AND YOU
 
MUST
STAND UP!
 
STAND UP
TAKE ONE STEP FORWARD
AND FOR SURE OPEN YOUR EYES
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT
NEGATIVE PEOPLE
NEGATIVE POLITICS
NEGATIVE PERSONAL POINTS OF VIEW
CANNOT AND WILL NOT ALTER THE JOY THAT YOU
EXPERIENCE EACH DAY THAT YOU ARE ALIVE
AND ON THIS EARTH.
 
PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A CREATOR LOOKING DOWN AT YOU
WHO IS OBSERVING YOUR LIFE AND THOUGHTS
 
HE ONLY HAS ONE DESIRE
THAT YOU LOVE HIM
AND
FOLLOW HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.
 
YES, JESUS IS THE WAY
AND THE ONLY WAY.
 
- HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY
VERONICA

SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO ANXIETY, FEAR, EMPTYNESS...?



 
UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND
 
 
 
ANXIETY
BROKENNESS
CONFUSION
DEATH
EMPTINESS
GUILT
ILLNESS
SHAME
ETC.
 
HOW MANY TIMES WOULD I HAVE LOVED
FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHERE TO GO
WHEN I FELT
FEARFUL,
EMPTY,
AND
 CONFUSED ABOUT MY EXISTENCE.
 
I EVEN USED TO GET ANGRY AT THE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE
I WOULD ASK MYSELF
WHERE ARE THESE SO CALLED CHRISTIANS?
WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING ME WHEN I NEED THEM...
AND
THEN I WOULD CALL THEM HYPOCRITES!
 
THESE ARE HARSH WORDS FROM ME NOW.
I FOUND MY TRUE LOVE FOR JESUS
AND
I NO LONGER FEEL EMPTY AT ALL.
 
I FOUND AN EXCELLENT SITE THAT WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
IT'S WONDERFUL AND IT IS THERE WAITING FOR YOU TO CLICK INTO THE LINK:
 
 
** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **
 
THE PAINTING "UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND" IS HOW I FELT MANY MANY YEARS AGO UNTIL...
 
I FOUND OUT THAT JESUS LOVED ME
 
I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT NEED TO DO GOOD WORKS TO GET TO HEAVEN
 
I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT EVOLVE FROM A MONKEY (frankly I never believed that)
 
I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO BE REINCARNATED AGAIN (this I believed)
 
I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THAT I WAS MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE
 
I FOUND OUT THAT IN ORDER TO BE SAVED I SIMPLY HAD TO ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE ME FOR
 
ALL OF MY SINS,
 
AND
 
BELIEVE
 
THAT HE WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY,
 
DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME SO THAT I COULD BE FORGIVEN,
 
AND BELIEVE THAT HE ROSE ON THE THIRD DAY.
 
 
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO VISIT: 
 
Jesus Loves you.

BOO! THE STORY OF MY CONFUSED LIFE...

BOO!
Acrylic
 
KAREN THIS IS FOR YOU. 
THIS PAINTING IS A MOTHER AND HER DOGGIE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I CHOSE IT BUT IT IS ENDEARING.
 
 
OK, I'M ALREADY GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF THIS SO
MAY I BE SHORT, SWEET AND SUCCINCT. :)
 
I'm going to start off with my Sunday visit to church.
I love this Pastor because he is not surrounded by
fluff,
frosting,
or ice cream.
He tells the Word of God (Bible) like it is!
He does not try to compromise it at all.
 
Many, many years ago I was a major liberal searching for God.
I can sincerely say that I really wanted to find the true God.
so....
I delved into Hatha Yoga, Occultism (I was a medium)
drugs,
astrology,
Carlos Casteneda,
Eric Van Daniken
Reincarnation,
reaching the state of Samadhi
Middle Eastern beliefs, etc. etc,
 
It was a time to explore the unexplored
and to do away with the
boring concept of Christianity.
 
There had to be something better out there.
 
Please note that I was brought up a Catholic for 18 years.
 
Something was wrong and I had to go find out about
God.
 
(Ok...I handed my life over to FB in a nut shell...
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I even exhausted myself.  You can tell that I am not a story teller.)
 
Well, now I can wake up in the morning and say,
Good Morning Jesus...
Good morning King of all Kings...
Good morning Holy Spirit
with a blessed peace
in my heart and mind.
 
I am no longer in need of stimulants and esoteric beliefs.
I found the true Jesus of the Bible.
 
Pastor prompted me to write about this because for those of you that are still searching and really want to find God
I want to tell you that He exists.
There is only one God
and
that is the
God of the Bible.
God the Father,
God the Son,
and
the Holy Spirit.
 
That is it!
It's simple
and not complicated.
 
I no longer need to do torturous rituals so that I won't have to come back as a pooch, or how about a turkey if I'm lucky.
All I have to do is to ask Jesus for forgiveness
and tell Him that I believe He is the Son of God
who came to this earth to die on the cross
for my sins.
That's it!
 
I WAS FORGIVEN
by his blood that He shed on the cross for me.
There is
zippo, nada.....left to do.
 
I have left my old ways, and now I'm a new person who wakes up happy in the morning. 
I am no longer miserable like I used to be.
Phew...I used to be angry at the world...
NOT NOW!
Please note that we will always be sinners.  I will NEVER become God and I am not a
God.
When I sin I ask Jesus for forgiveness.
 
Pastor asked us to be prepared for the upcoming conflict that is to come.  He told us that we need to go into prayer more than ever because the future is not going to be easy.
 
Let me tell you if I was not a Christian today,
I would probably not be alive.
But I am, because Jesus loved me sooooo much that He died on the cross for me.
 
I felt like I needed to share this with you
and
you know who you are.
 
I love you, and Jesus loves you.
 
HE'S CALLING YOU...
WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER.
iT'S NOT HARD.

A LONELY PAINT BRUSH






AS AN ARTIST I STILL QUESTION THE VALIDITY
OF A PAINTING.
 I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL OR GROTESQUE,
BUT MY QUESTION STILL REMAINS...
"DOES ART FEED THE HUNGRY AND THE DESTITUTE"?

IT HAS BEEN SOOOOO DIFFICULT TO RECONCILE THE FACT THAT
I WAS BORN TO PAINT, AND BY DOING THIS
I WOULD MINISTER TO THE PUBLIC.

UNFORTUNATELY ART DOES NOT HELP THE POOR IN NEED,
IT MIGHT MINISTER IN A SPIRITUAL WAY
BUT IN MY LIMITED CAPACITY AS AN ARTIST...
I CAN'T SEE HOW IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I'M SIMPLY EXPOSING MY DEEPEST FEELINGS BECAUSE MAYBE THERE
IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT
ALONE.

I'M A CHRISTIAN ARTIST WHO IS ATTEMPTING TO WALK THE
NARROW AND LONG PATH TO GOD VIA ART.

IT'S A LONG AND LONELY PATH TO THE FATHER...
BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN I WILL BE BY MYSELF
WHEN I TAKE THAT FINAL STEP OFF THE PATH OF LIFE.
AND
I MEET THE CREATOR.
HE WILL REQUEST FOR ME TO RECALL WHAT I DID WITH HIS
GIFT OF ART.

THIS WILL BE TOUGH,
BUT I WANT TO ANSWER
AND
SAY
"I TRIED"

SO FOR NOW
I SUPPOSE I'LL CONTINUE TO BE THAT LONELY PAINT BRUSH
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO PAINT ONLY
WHAT MY
ABBA FATHER WANTS ME TO PAINT.

MAY THE JOURNEY UNFOLD.
