Deuteronomy 10:17 (April 3)

Quiet Time Nugget:

"For the Lord Your God" - wow what a statement, He is MY God.  We all respect people in authority and our elderlies and very important adults that have made a difference in our life how more so God.  He is above all those people.  If He is God of gods, then why do we continue to worship and make gods of mundane things.  I hope to always put Him first in everything I do.  I am not perfect.  I will make mistakes but I will trust in this verse and never forget that He is great, mighty, powerful, wonderful, marvelous…I can go on and on…but He is my God and I will never forget that.

Acts 8:22 (April 2)

Quiet Time Nugget:

We are all sinners and we know that because it is stated in the Bible and we all know the story about Adam and Eve, if you don't please read the book of Genesis.  Because we are all sinners, we sin everyday.  Thank God for his daily mercies and His compassion.  Repent everyday, every minute, every second you realize you have done, looked at, said something that does not please God.  I do this continuously and I will continue but I must remember to pray more.  We all love to say, "I'm sorry" but do we really mean it?  Say you are sorry, repent and really mean it.  I know God forgives us every single time we repent but let us take sometime and pray too.

Deuteronomy 8:3 (April 2)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Well, I do not know about you but I love food!  I love a variety of foods.  Everywhere you go there are restaurants, vending carts, groceries stores, farmland, homes w food, schools w food, hospitals w food and well you get my point.  When we don't eat our stomach reminds us by growling.  We see food (TV), we smell it, we hear it (love the sound of sizzling bacon) and of course we taste it.  We cannot live without food.  So why is it that we don't read the word of God which is the food for our soul?  Is your soul growling?  Mine is growling for more each day and I hope to feed it as much as I can to keep it healthy.

Acts 7:49 (April 1)

Quiet Time Nugget:

I know that the entire universe belongs to God.  How wonderful it is to read that our tiny earth is His footstool.  I am so glad that He is here.  He listens to our prayers.  He speaks to us.  He teaches us through His word how to build the right house.  My prayer is for God to help me built the kind of house that pleases Him and blesses others.  I am not perfect and I will never be but I want to follow his instructions to have an "amazing" house.

Deuteronomy 6:5 (April 1)

Quiet Time Nugget:

God speaks to everyone in so many different ways all He wants is for us to LOVE HIM.  I honestly do not know why we don't truly love Him with everything we have.  We think we can do anything on our own but when we are down and can't see to find the answer; then we come running to Him when all the time we should have been doing is loving him 100%.  As for me: I better remember this everyday - I Love You Lord with ALL my heart, soul and might.  Help me Lord to NEVER forget this!

Book of Psalm

Hello and Welcome:

You are probably wondering why I have not chosen to illustrate the book of Psalm yet  (I will!) - well it is because  I am waiting to see how this 1st part of the journey goes.  It is a lot of work creating 2 illustrations daily.  If you do the math, that will be 365 (OT verses for a year) + 365 (NT verses for a year) = 730 whew!

I plan to do the book of Psalms next year, April 2016, those are my plans but only God will tell!

I need your support - please continue to pray that I can make it to the end.
Please continue to send me those words of encouragement.
And most importantly continue reading the word of the Lord which is our daily bread and spread the gospel to other by telling them to join me in my journey!

God Bless You
Ruby

Materials List

If you are like me:  do not have a lot of money to spend on all these different materials and/or have no idea on how to use many of the tools and artsy stuff that is out there; then you have come to the right place.

Here is a list of the VERY BASIC SIMPLE materials you need:

1. Bible (Any bible is fine but you really need a wide margin to be able to draw and write the verse).
     I purchased ESV Journaling Bible (by Crossway).  I have the single column.
If you do NOT want buy a new bible then get some plain paper or card stock and cut them 2 x 6 and make bookmakers that you can insert into your bible or give away as gifts - spread the gospel.

2. Black Pen (I use Zig Writers and sometimes Pilot G-2)

3. Color Pencils (I use Prismacolors and if am away from home I use Crayola)

4. Pencil Sharpener

5. Mechanical Pencil (I use 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9 depends on the details) but any pencil works fine.

6. Eraser (I prefer white because pink tend to leave a pinkish hue on the bible)

7. Ruler (I have a little 6" - because it is easier to use and carry)

8. Notebook (used for practicing my spacing, lettering, and drawings)

9. Plain Paper (make sure it is acid free) (any color you want - I use white or cream it is easier to see your drawings and writing)

10. Glue Stick (I use Elmer's, Scotch,  or UHU)  make sure it is acid free)

11. ***If I see stickers or other ephemera that helps illustrate what I am reading I will be using those on occasions.

NOTE: I draw the verse on paper and glue it to those pages that I have a verse on the back already NOT because the pen bleeds but because I just do not want to see the other side's shadows (imprint).
             Also, if you make a mistake you can draw it on paper and glue it to cover your mistakes.

(That is all for now… Ruby)
