After heartbreak once led me to paint a canvas entirely black, this time I express sorrow through vivid colors, inspired by Jesus’ words: “Your sorrow will turn into joy.” Though facing deep suffering before the cross, Jesus encouraged His disciples and showed through His resurrection that sorrow can become joy. Pregnant with Joy draws on the image of childbirth—pain giving way to joy—and reflects the hope of restored relationship with God and a joy that cannot be taken away.

The blog reflects on Jesus’ sacrificial love shown on the cross and what it means to live for Him. The author shares a journey from passionate faith and mission work to burnout, hurt, and resentment from being taken advantage of in ministry. Through struggle, they rediscover that following Christ means dying to pride and unforgiveness, not just serving others. The message encourages choosing to look to Christ for healing and renewal, receiving His love so we can give again wi

Even if everything around us shifts—friendships, work, or trust—God’s love does not. Isaiah 54 reminds us that while mountains may move and hills may shake, His everlasting kindness remains unchanging. True kindness is not mere comfort, but a love that seeks our good, even when it is difficult. God’s kindness is steady, purposeful, and always working to give us life.

In February 2025, I found myself carrying a massive canvas through three different homes, painting John 16:13 while quietly questioning whether I was on the right path. As I painted a road leading into light, my heart felt anything but certain. Yet in that unsettled month, God surprised me with an unexpected gift—reminding me that even when the road feels unclear, the Holy Spirit is faithfully guiding us into truth.

Jesus tells His disciples, “Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.” Philip struggles with this, wanting visible proof before believing. Yet Jesus gently redirects him from sight to faith. Logic alone cannot reveal who Jesus truly is. God often works beyond what makes sense to us—not to shame us, but to invite us into deeper trust. When answers are unclear, will we be persuaded by circumstances, or by the words of Christ?

Christmas looks joyful with decorations, yet the first Christmas was marked by deep jealousy. King Herod, threatened by the birth of a new “King of the Jews,” allowed jealousy to lead him to violence. Later, Jesus Himself was crucified out of envy. Jealousy is not only Herod’s problem—it lives quietly in our hearts. Yet God loves us with a holy jealousy, not to control us, but to give us life. When we lift our eyes from comparison and fix them on Christ, true joy replaces jea

We often hide from the truth when it feels uncomfortable or exposes parts of us we'd rather not see. But Scripture reminds us that real love doesn’t celebrate what’s wrong—it rejoices with the truth. Through a childhood memory, reflection on 1 Corinthians 13:6, and artwork inspired by John 17:17, this post explores how God uses truth to refine us and lead us into deeper, truer love.

“Breath of Peace” is part of my Revelation 22:2 project, created with fragile eggshells as I pray for each nation. This piece represents Israel. As I paint, I’m reminded that every nation carries both brokenness and beauty — and that true peace comes only through Christ, who heals and reconciles hearts across history, culture, and pain.

Love trusts all things... what does it really mean? Let's reflect on what it means by reflecting on the artwork inspired by both 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and Proverbs 3:5

Evergreen reflects on the temporary and the eternal. Fragile petals symbolize fleeting beauty, while the flowing river represents what lasts forever. Life’s joys and sufferings may feel fleeting or endless, yet God’s love endures beyond all time. This artwork invites reflection: what in your life is temporary, and what invisible realities will last forever?
