Day 18: Doodle

This isn't really a doodle, in fact it's not even recent but whatever... IT COUNTS. lol

Day 17: Favorite Plant

A money tree. I haven't been able to find one yet but I know one exists because my parents used to have one....lol

Day 16: Inspiration

Inspiration for today's drawing comes from Proverbs 11:25- "Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered." and from an artist Jim LePage whose art depicts Scripture; his work is beautiful, creative, and modern. 

Day 15: Family Picture

Sure I could've drawn an actual picture of my family but this is way more fun. Each thing represents one of my family members. 

The owl represents my dad; he's the wisest person I know. The cool thing about owls is how much time the mom and dad spend teaching their young how to fly and how to hunt; they don't just knock them out of the nest like some birds, but they really prepare them. I'd say my dad was an excellent teacher. The Lord's definitely going to say, "Well done." when He sees him. 

The knitting needles and yarn represents my mom, not just because she is so crafty (which she totally is) but because of what you make with them; you make sweaters and scarves with it. Scarves and sweaters are comforting, warm, and make you feel at home; that's my mom. She is the most loving person that I know. I never have had to wonder how God loves us because she has exhibited the mother heart of God in ways I can only hope to mimic. 

The whisk represents my sister; she's a cook, she's funky, she's strong, she's what brings us all together. My sister loves holidays and traditions, the things that make a family so unique and beautiful, the things that always bring families together just like a whisk brings the ingredients into one blend. Also, no kitchen is complete without a whisk and we would not be complete without Melissa. She's smart, talented, amazing, funny and my best friend. 

The tv well that's me because everyone knows that I'm the entertainment...I always have been and always will be. 

That's the Gray Family

Day 14: Favorite Fairytale

Beauty and The Beast was my favorite when I was a child, my mom said I used to have the whole thing memorized. Now that I'm older, I still see the beauty in the broken and how loving broken people transforms them. 

Day 13: Comic

Yeah welcome to my life. 

Days 8, 9, 10, 11, & 12

We had a major conference here in Adelaide which left me too busy and too tired to draw. But here are the days I missed including today's:

Day 8: Favorite Animated Character

Yeah my favorite animated character is Laura Croft; always has been and always will be. I know that this boulder isn't her but it's a representation and far easier to draw when you're behind :-)

Day 9: Favorite TV Show

Okay I promise I drew this. Technically, it's a network and not a show but gosh I love the food network!

Day 10: Favorite Candy

My favorite candy is candy that didn't cost someone their freedom and didn't steal their rights. Slave-free candy please!

Day 11: A Turning Point In Your Life

This was the theme of the camp I worked with in Ukraine in 2005 and it's where God told me that missions is what I'd be doing for the rest of my life. The words say, "Svuabodney Palut" and it means "Free to Fly" which is exactly what God did when He called me to His work; He set me free.

Day 12: Most Recent Accomplishment

I am finally back down to the belt size I was when I left Thailand! Whoohoo!
