So glad I found your channel. I am 64, just beginning to draw again and learning water color. I drew as a child in school when I would get lost in thought. Because of my dad's calling, a pastor, we moved a lot and I found drawing helped me relax when I found myself in a classroom of new kids. As an adult I began to look at the things I drew and quit, they still seemed so childish. I never had an art class in school, never felt exceptionally good at anything. I took an oil painting class while my husband was in seminary, painted for several years, but gave that up as well. Now, at 64 I realize that the gift God has given us all is creativity. We are created in His image, and he is creative, so therefore, we are creative. Now to set aside my fears and draw and paint. I love the idea you use of writing scripture and drawing something on that page. You are inspiration to this older lady. Thank you.
Your ministry touches my heart ❤ I also loved art as a child but got busy raising my children. I came back to art after my nest was empty. I love this concept and will give it a go. Thank you for your encouragement 😊
My life was busy and the watercolors were put away; 22 years later, living at a much slower pace and watching your videos I was inspired to try my hand at it again. I love incorporating the art with the study of God's Word. I am rusty and not very good, but the time I spend doing this draws me closer towards God. I love watching your videos and hearing what lesson we can learn from the Scriptures. Thank you, it really helped to hear you say that the 'not very good paintings' are acceptable.
@@UanahAbsolom-i1v In some ways that is true replacing my creative time with something else. I was busy working and raising my grand -daughter, Being older i only had so much energy. You are right that personal intimate time with God is crucial to our peace and stability.
Thank you, the way you say to use your talents, don't hide them, that really helps me, because I can do art, I'm talented, but since becoming a Christian, it has been very hard to use my talent, because of how others think I should draw. And I, well yeah, thanks i hope this works in me to set me free to use my talent. Amen
“Copying the Master” is such a brilliant channel name! When I make art I truly feel in my soul that my work only exists because of Him and the artwork (all of creation) that His hands crafted. I love seeing fellow artists honoring God with their work, keep going!!
I was recently saved by Christ and He's helped me realize the gifts I've been given are to be used for His glory. We're not to let them collect dust or waste away. I used to be so bad at traditional art but now I can ink and color with colored pencils. I could not for the life of me do any of that before but now I can! It's funny to me now because I had plenty of traditional supplies I thought I would never use but now I am! It blows my mind that He was making sure I had supplies for the future. I've found that praying before I do anything creative helps me too. I don't get overwhelmed as much and I actually enjoy the creative process! It's like you said, be patient, don't let the mistakes you make hinder progress but learn from them to allow growth. Thank you for this video! It was a nice confirmation to me that God really is reviving the talents He's blessed me with. I'll be praying for you too brothers and sisters! God blessed us with talents for a reason. I hope your discovery of these beautiful gifts He's given brings you joyful and fruitful lives 💖
Thank you for this inspiring and encouraging video. I caught myself being hasty and greedy the last few months… this helped me to grasp a glimpse of what the Lord wants for me….🌷may you and your family also be blessed!
Our Pastor just finished Genesis. I think I will take each sermon, and pick out whatever the Lord speaks to me to write and paint. We are empty nesters, and just closed on an North Ga. Mountain home. So lots of new inspiration! What a great legacy to show and leave to your children and future generations to come. Thanks for your inspiration. A new journey begins. God is so awesome! Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful idea. I have neglected my art but after making some Christmas cards this year I really feel ready to do more. Very timely video. Thank you
Awesome idea. 3 other couples from church are coming for new years eve dinner. I'm going to get the supplies and challenge them to paint and study with me. Thank you. And God bless you as we enter 2025.
Started a few postcard size water colour and scripture pieces, perhaps in 2025 I will feel brave enough to start a journal. It’s so relaxing. Found this video very encouraging and lovely to see the children looking through your journals. God bless you and your family, have a wonderful Christmas.
This is truly encouraging! God's word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path! 🎉😂 He leadeth me He leadeth me.. I love the Lord God Almighty!
I raised three girls too. Now they all have daughters of their own. I watched your channel last night for the first time, and considered trying to make similar content but then thought that would not be good to copy someone else's style..then I get this video in my feed tonight. I've always loved art and even sold some paintings..Maybe it's time to renew my epidemic sound subscription and just try this. Also, a trick I learned to do many years ago when money was very tight..just purchase the basic color paints and learn to mix them together to create varying shades instead of buying all the available colors right away, at least until you get more confident with your painting. 🥀🌻🙏🖌
Dank u wel, voor deze video heel inspirerend, en ik ga ook proberen te tekenen( of verfen ) ik vind het ook fijn om Gods Woord te bestuderen of psalmen te schrijven, Dank voor uw tips. Jammer dat ik ze niet kan vinden en niet kan vertalen. Maar ik kijk altijd naar uw mooie schetsdboek met tekeningen. Wat een lieve/ mooie meisjes. Gods zegen voor jullie allemaal. ❤ ik kan bij uw video,s wel de Nederlandse vertaling instellen, dat is wel fijn.
I have absolutely no talents. I’ve been an RN for 28 years. Now I’m alone with mobility issues.You are so talented. I wish I had done more with my life.
You have surely touched many who were in need during your life as a nurse and I'm sure you still are. God will show you a new path and sir those dormant gifts as you seek Him. God bless you 🙏
Jodie, I believe you have done more than you know, especially being an RN. May the Lord bless you and guide you in this season of your life! He promises to never leave or forsake us! Be encouraged!
After coming across your channel a couple weeks ago, I found my old watercolor paints and started a Psalm journal. I love watching your videos and appreciate the Mathew Henry commentary. I love writing out the psalms and I'm saying it aloud as I'm writing it. Also, I love to read the psalms from my watercolor journal when in bed. I got the small sized journal and it's very light weight, so it's easy to hold and read. 😊
I enjoy all your videos, but I this one I really needed today! I have always loved "trying" to draw and paint as a child, and when my daughter was little. Diving into watercolor and the bible has kept me from being so sad while both kids were in college. My youngest will graduate college next year and I pray she will continue to paint as life gets busy. This was so inspiring as are all your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this encouraging video. I love beautiful things but not everything I make is beautiful. I allow for mistakes now, and it's made an impact on the creative flow within me but not without a fight. ❤ 🇨🇦
Your journal is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I look forward to seeing a new video from you. May God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas!
We are all on a journey and at times get discouraged but we lift one another up encouraging each other to keep persevering! My gift has been crocheting so I know exactly what you mean! We share our gifts with others that will light another’s way of how we should be!
Thank you so much for inspiring me to start my own Scripture/watercolour journal a couple of weeks ago after coming across your beautiful YT channel here in the UK ❤
This was lovely. I used to do needlework and am going to resume it in 2025. I will listen to your wonderful videos as I stitch. Merry Christmas to you and yours. ❤🙏
Art was always in my heart, but as you said life gets crazy and it gets pushed aside. Plus I let perfectionism and comparing myself to others get in the way. Eventually I back slid and fell away from God too. Over the last few years I wanted to create again, but every time I tried, my mind would go blank. It wasn't until the last few months when God came knocking, and we returned to our faith. Then all of a sudden, I could draw and paint and even color in coloring books again. Which tells me my talents came from Him. I never really thought of taking that scripture literal. I only thought of it as talking about money. However, you are correct God does give us different talents that we can use to glorify Him. I have recently been using Esword, so I can also have scripture read to me while I do art work. I am also going to start doing art and righting out scripture as well. It would give me an excuse to use my dip pen and inks lol. Thank you for this.
I had bought myself a leather wrapped vintage sketch book from online, and my husband gave me one a bit bigger just after as a gift, and that was a year ago. I couldn't decide what to draw on it's vintage pages, but wanted it to be special so I put those two sketch books aside. I am now inspired as to what to draw on each of it's pages to make it special. Thanks for the inspiration.
thank you for your inspiration❤Iam a multi media artist and recycle things for art and my faith in Christ. I highly recommend to read Art&Faith by Makoto Fujimara. Its beautifully written and inspiring. I really feel blessed by your videos.. Art on!
I am a recently new sub and am excited to try watercoloring along side my scripture journaling. I purchased the nib set, nib holder and the black/gold ink. I realized that i truly know nothing of how to use them! Will you be showing us how to use them?
What a blessing! I've been hoping for this as I love your book, however, I your description you say "Watercolor supplies list (linked below)" but I can't see it...sorry. Am I missing something or is it not there. Thank you and bless you xx
People hate those with talent. At least some do. I've always loved peoples talent. But i've found there is so much jealousy and rage at those who work hard and become proficient at their chosenartistic disciplines.
Hello, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. See John 1:12 for this please. Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

I have three daughters who are now grown. I wish they would have followed me in Gods teaching.
The Lord is good, keep praying!
I just purchased the Charles Stanley Bible from Amazon. Can't wait to receive it. And thank you for the reference and beautiful video.
