 "Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants." -Isaiah 42:10 (ESV) I dream every night but most of the time it’s a rerun. Lately it’s been albino mermaids. It’s on my to do list to draw one now 😍 I just love that the sea is FULLLL of all kinds of creatures that God made each with a purpose and a plan. I’m absolutely fascinated with it! When I think about all the creatures, big and small, shallow and deep, and the planning that God put into these creatures- and some we’ve never even discovered yet- it brings me joy to know that the God who created me is the one who created and takes care all these wonderful animals. Whales. Jellyfish. Octopus. Manta rays. And even that fish way down at the bottom with a light on his head 😂👌🏻  The paint on this is a flat color for the base with @plaidcrafts color shift paint on top! It’s gorgeous and they have so many different colors! Thank you @ribbonzncurlz for turning me onto this! 😘 and there’s some glitter stars at the bottom thanks to double sided tape and floor wax 🙌🏻 MATERIALS:

 “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him; 9 on the left hand when he is working, I do not behold him; he turns to the right hand, but I do not see him. But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold. My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food. But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does. For he will complete what he appoints for me, and many such things are in his mind. Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider, I am in dread of him. God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me; yet I am not silenced because of the darkness, nor because thick darkness covers my face. -Job 23: 8-17 (ESV) Most seahorses are no bigger than your finger. This tiny fragile little creature is able to swim the entire blue and sometimes black ocean. Easy? With predators numerous predators and some big as submarines? Absolutely not.
It can feel the same way in the this big world. We can feel awefully small, incompetent and just plain hopeless and afraid. Sometimes we don’t feel like God is there- like we’re swimming this big ocean by ourselves. But He’s watching us every step of the way. He foresees the dangers ahead of us and steers us clear from destruction. It can also be a scary idea for us for what He has planned for us. The things He is able to do in our lives! He could give us cancer, cause us to lose limbs or bodily functions, lose loved ones and let loose enemies on us. But having fear of the unknown is not what He wants for us. That’s what the devil wants us to think. He wants us to worry. BUT GOD wants us to hope in Him! Trust in Him that He is our best lives intended for us. It’s not gonna be perfect. We might get swallowed by a whale or get stalked by an angry shark but God is ultimately in control. Take courage my friend. He is FOR us 💪🏻🙌🏻. MATERIALS:
 “And she said, “See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.” -Ruth 1:15-18 (ESV)This has to be my second most favorite page I’ve done so far 😍 when I first watched Moana I’ll admit that the grandmother reminded me of Naomi in the book of Ruth. When she transformed into the manta Ray and stayed with Moana throughout her journey... it inspired me! Only took a year or two for this idea to become real but hey 👋🏻God’s inspirational timing is perfect 👌🏻
The whole page was fingerpainted- easiest ways to get the waves! I drew a zentangle manta ray on scrap paper because believe it or not I couldn't find a printable for it. The holographic circles are actually circle and hole punched from even bigger circle wall stickers. MATERIALS:
