Today's blog is brought to you by Phoebe Williams:
For Lent, I am reconnecting with God through art journaling. I read and draw scripture listed in the PCUSA daily lectionary and write down the words/phrases/sentences that jump out at me. I sketch what they say about God, our world, etc. which usually leads to the question, “How do I now respond to this in my life?” This can generate inspiring ideas, but also serious convictions about my weaknesses. I can't always answer this question, but each morning brings more insight into the love of God and how to respond to that love. It can be uncomfortable, but exciting to see scripture in a new way, to draw it out and watch it come alive. If any of you love to draw, paint, doodle, or just want to try something new, grab some paper, a marker, some crayons, maybe even some glitter and go for it! My art journal entries are very simple black and white, but you can do this however you feel led with whatever colors/materials/resources you have. You don't have to be perfect, just open to God's lessons. You never know what you'll create and what you'll discover!
