My painting is currently in the process off being scanned(havent figured out how to use it yet) it will be up shortly, hopefully. My painting from class illustrated
Joel 2:1
Blow the trumpet in Zion;
sound the alarm on my holy hill.
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the LORD is coming.
It is close at hand.
This verse captured my attention as soon as i read it and inspired me in which this passage led me to paint. I am always drawn to scripture that refers to a time that God is coming again.
I started my painting off by painting the trumpet. To me, this is what stands out in Joel 2:1. "...sound the alarm on my holy hill..." just think, that the entire world will be able to hear it, isn't that cool? I'm excited, are you excited?
This is something I have never done before. Painting an illustration of certain scripture? I realized that it allows me to think and, in a way, meditate more in depth on a particular verse and really understand the message that God is trying to get across to us.
The activities in the class is really opening my mind to look at literature from a different angle. In the beginning, I read something and put it away. I didnt try to understand it as long as i read it cover to cover. I am realizing that literature does have meaning behind it, including the Bible, and I am actually looking beyond the words of everything I read now. I'm excited and look forward to more activities that give me more insight and interest in literature.

I think the music that the trumpets play will be such an exciting song too. It's like when you're at a concert of someone you really like and they play your favorite song and you feel so EXCITED you could just burst...that's how I think we will feel only more life God playing a song proclaiming our life's purpose. And that's coming home to him.
