"The Barnyard Parade"
I had a variety of images parading around in my mind this week for Illustration Friday's topic "Parade", but ended up choosing some fun parading barnyard critters. No telling why they're in such a festive mood...perhaps the farmer is away for the weekend...?
Anyway, I was happy to be able to tie in a verse from Proverbs Chapter 3, which fits perfectly for day 3 of my 31 Day Challenge. Today I read chapter 3 and this is the verse that jumped out at me and brought everything into focus:
Goodness, how many times have I needed to know which path to take...it's such good counsel and such a comforting thought to seek God's will and not my own...to base my choices on faith and not fear...to know that He always has something more incredible in mind for me than I could ever dream up on my own! I can parade down that path with my head held high, in full confidence that He is behind me, cheering and guiding me all the way!

ReplyDeleteLove the illustration! Simply adore the pig with the bandana - he's one classy porker.
ReplyDeleteAnd Prov. 3:5-6 will always be dear to me, as it was mom's favorite scripture. She couldn't understand everything that she was going through, but she was trusting God. Even to her last days, she would try to quote it from her fading memory. Thank God it was forever etched on her heart.
Love you!
Nancy

ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteThat is a very sweet photo of you and your mom:)
I'd love to join in for your blog birthday giveaway. It sounds so fun and it would be great to win some of your artwork. I did a women's Bible study on Proverbs 31 a FEW years ago where I learned so much.
Warmly,
Deb :)
