Easter Sunday Painting!! As the ultimate act of love, Christ gave up his life and overcame death for us to be with him forever. It’s never too late to know Him 💛

After his resurrection, Jesus spoke these words to his friends, and they are for you today: “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20.

Day 7 painting every day for Holy Week - Silent Saturday🤍 A time of mourning, waiting, and sitting in stillness.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭59‬-‭61‬, “And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.”

Day 6 of painting everyday for Holy Week - Today, we remember the sacrifice Jesus made so we could be close to him 🤍

Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭50‬-‭51‬ ‭ “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.”

Had to make it work at the airport for Day 5!! Maundy Thursday of Holy Week 🤍
Inspired by John‬ ‭13‬:‭3‬-‭15, “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands…rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet… He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand…When he had washed their feet and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.”

Day 4, painting every day for Holy Week 🩵
Inspired by Matthew 26:6-13
“Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.” But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.””

Day 3 painting everyday for Holy Week - Holy Tuesday 💛

Today, Jesus teaches on several topics, one being the power of faith. Matthew 21: 18-22, “seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once. When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?”
And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.””

Day 2 of Holy Week paintings 💜 Inspired by Matthew 21:12-13, “And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.””

Day 2, Holy Monday. This painting, inspired by Matthew 21:12-16 is a story of the Lord’s righteous anger, showing His passion for reverence in worship and justice for those who have been exploited. He demonstrates his authority in calling believers to approach his house as a sacred, holy place.

These paintings are each based on glaciers I saw while on my honeymoon in Whistler, Canada. Something I love about glaciers is that they move INCREDIBLY slowly, some moving only a few centimeters per year. Glaciers leave behind dramatic, beautiful landscapes that have formed over hundreds if not thousands of years.
The glaciers we saw made me consider how God is not in a hurry to form beautiful things. In our personal development, marriages, friendships, growth- there is no rush to become something wonderful, in fact, it may be by design that these things take time.

“Always Forming” 3 painting mini collection will be live and available for purchase on my website tomorrow at 5pm CST. Link in bio!!
