BREAKING FREE quotSo if the Son sets you free you will be free indeedquot John 8:36 - BreakingFree.jpg

Picture by CindyLynn222 Free In Christ Ministries Breaking free from the bondages of life nI am not associated with this ministry nor do I know anything about it However I can speak from personal experience of the power of Jesus Christ to set one free from sin fear and guilt and pray you will one day choose to turn to Him and surrender your life to Him nI was searching for a picture to add to something I was personally working on and this was exactly the picture I had in mind Sin has a hold on ALL of us and even though we think we are freeliving according to our feelings and sinful desires we are in bondage to these things Also many religions and cults have a strong hold upon us because of the things they say to fill us with fear and hold us in captivity Only by receiving Jesus Christ and all He has done for us through His death burial and bodily resurrection can we become free TRUE freedom from all types of addictions and forms of bondage When a person comes to Christ He may sometimes instantly set us free but sometimes it takes longermany of us need healing in our thoughts and emotions and the healing comes as we take the time to allow God to renew our minds through spending time in His Word the Bible God Bless You

Well you may or may not know that I like Kaiju Dn nSo here is my first Kaiju Sepra He's still in the making but so far I've decided he believes himself to have once been human due to a major error that had happened at one point in his life when he had been captured Basically while they were scanning him and stuff what they thought was enough Tranquilizer was not enough he woke up and started breaking his way to freedom during all his escape (prepare for not the best sci-fi scene ever written) he is still hooked up to some machinary that goes out of control and connects to one man transfering a copy of his thoughts a feelings that then mix with Sepra's mind making him believe to have once been humann nBecause of that one event that could turn many against humans he can see it from the human viewpoint and has convinced himself to use his abilities to protect humansn nSize: TBD nWeight: TBD nAge: TBD nAbilitiesPowers: Extremely fast and agile in water rapid healing Powerful Jaw At least on the same intelligence level as a Human can somewhat alter pressure aroundn nWeaknesses: Slow on land extreme tempuratres Can't survive on land for too longn nSo guy's what do you think of my first attempt at a Kaiju

Hush Little Darlings (Part 2 of 2) - HushLittleDarlings.jpg

24 x 30nacrylic and pastels on canvasn2009nn This painting is the second in a duo-set following 3 Redemptions While the first painting illustrates the pain of depression and hearing the haunting voices of schizoaffective disorder this second painting is a window into the healing and management of the disease Under new medication I no longer am tormented by voices of paranoia or delusions But that isnt to say they are gone I can still feel them inside of me However instead of being constant interruptions in my life they merely sleep The closest thing I can describe the sensation to is that of when a person is standing next to you how you can feel their presence without seeing them you know theyre there even in silence nn Here the voices slumber mostly as a few of them may still rustle about or sleep with one eye open Theyre done with a more gentle style as compared to 3 Redemptions because of their softer demeanor nnInstead of being crammed into a geometric rigid head they float within the ease of a balloon floating amongst peaceful clouds in the sky The string of the balloon wraps around the arm and ultimately ties in a knot on her finger always reminding her of the past she comes from and the lessons shes learnednn Instead of having a little girl (the voice of Reason) being swallowed up one giant all-seeing-eye is stationed with stability in the center of the metaphoric-head The clouds pass behind it as it is now enlightened to so many new ideas and revelationsnn Instead of having bloodied hand-prints smeared across the canvas I have a single tanned hand silencing the voices with a hushing-signal The maternal tone to the title Hush Little Darlings reflects my tender thoughts towards the cruel voices: as much pain as they brought me in the past I would hate to lose them completely Theyve always been with me They give me artistic insight They protect me

Bailey Girls 4 Life

Bailey Girls 4 Life - 1407150961_l.jpg

There comes a time in your life when you finally get it When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out ENOUGH Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on And like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum your sobs begin to subside you shudder once or twice you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world from a new perspectivennThis is your awakeningnn You realize that it is time to stop hoping and waiting for something or someone to change or for happiness safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon You come to terms with the fact that there aren't always fairytale endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of happily ever after must begin with you Then a sense of serenity is born of acceptancenn So you begin making your way through the reality of today rather than holding out for the promise of tomorrow You realize that much of who you are and the way you navigate through life is in great part a result of all the social conditioning you've received over the course of a lifetime And you begin to sift through all the nonsense you were taught about :nn - how you should look and how much you should weighn - what you should wear and where you should shopn - where you should live or what type of car you should driven - who you should sleep with and how you should behaven - who you should marry and why you should stayn - the importance of bearing children or what you owe your familynn Slowly you begin to open up to new worlds and different points of view And you begin re-assessing and re-defining who you are and what you really believe in And you begin to discard the doctrines you have outgrown or should never have practiced to begin withnn You accept the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will love appreciate or approve of who or what you are and that's OK they are entitled to their own views and opinions And you come to terms with the fact that you will never be a size 5 or a perfect 10 Or a perfect human being for that matter and you stop trying to compete with the image inside your head or agonizing over how you compare And you take a long look at yourself in the mirror and you make a promise to give yourself the same unconditional love and support you give so freely to others Then a sense of confidence is born of self-approvalnn And you stop maneuvering through life merely as a consumer hungry for your next fix a new dress another pair of shoes or looks of approval and admiration from family friends or even strangers who pass by Then you discover that it is truly in giving that we receive and that the joy and abundance you seek grows out of the giving And you recognize the importance of creating and contributing rather than obtaining and accumulatingnn And you give thanks for the simple things you've been blessed with things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about - a full refrigerator clean running water a soft warm bed the freedom of choice and the opportunity to pursue your own dreamsnn And you begin to love and to care for yourself You stop engaging in self-destructive behaviors including participating in dysfunctional relationships You begin eating a balanced diet drinking more water and exercising And because you've learned that fatigue drains the spirit and creates doubt and fear you give yourself permission to rest And just as food is fuel for the body laughter is fuel for the spirit and so you make it a point to create time for playnn Then you learn about love and relationships - how to love how much to give in love when to stop giving and when to walk away And you allow only the hands of a lover who truly loves and respects you to glorify you with his touch You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say intentionally or unintentionally and that not everyone will always come through and interestingly enough it's not always about you So you stop lashing out and pointing fingers or looking to place blame for the things that were done to you or weren't done for you And you learn to keep your Ego in check and to acknowledge and redirect the destructive emotions it spawns -
