Olive Tree in the Garden...and hearing from God

[@bcottle51]

Wouldn’t it be sad that God would no longer talk to us? I’m grateful for a loving God who cares about me….and you!

Aloha Sandy! Love your amazing olive tree and your message about hearing from God. For years I’ve been curious and wanted to hear God voice…I didn’t think to be still and quiet so that we are able to receive the spirit. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gifts…crafty and spiritual. Take care and God bless you! 🙏🥰

Thank you so very much for the love of the Lord you share and especially how you shared this daunting topic. It’s vital we have our own personal relationship with Him, and I’m so desperate to hear His voice… I’m struggling. It’s been a 41 almost 42 year struggle. I cannot tell you how much I cry and cry out for this encounter. Pls Lord, help me to be still in You and know that you are God.🙏🏻😭

I'm so thankful for the words you spoke today. I'm thankful for the way you shared your heart and though I will miss your weekly Sunday videos. I know that life happens, and I have not watched regularly in a long time. So sorry. God bless you as you continue listening with your heart. Is there a way I could contact you?

Wow, that's gorgeous Sandy!!! You're so talented. 💕 I so look forward to the next time you do a bible journaling video! It's been a sweet time knowing you and enjoying your gifts of bible journaling along with all your artistic abilities. You are amazing and I really appreciate all you did for us and your dedication to teaching us how to bible journal. You've been a jewel!!! We have a very special journaling group and I will miss everyone, but I'm sure we'll see each other in other groups. I think the best way I can describe hearing from God is to have an every day relationship with the Lord through prayer and reading/studying the Bible every day. That's so important. His will and His ways are written for us in His holy word. And also as you said, being filled with the Holy Spirit is just as important. We must be listening! Amen!!! I could write a book so I'll stop there!!! 😊Did you shave some of your pencil? Is this a graphite drawing? Is there a difference between a pencil and a graphite drawing? Much love, hugs and prayers, Sandy!!! 💕🙏

Pencil and graphite are the same. 🥰 The lead pointer used for this particular pencil (weirdly it’s not called a sharpener!) collects the shavings, and I realized I could use the powder to apply with things like a brush!🥰

I adore love trees. The textures and colors are amazing.

Thank you so much for this, I’m not very good at just being, but it’s so important to stop doing and thinking and “just be” so we can hear what the Lord wants to say. Needless to say I’ve not heard much recently- time to stop and rest and hear.

[@marilynnellsworth4300]

This olive tree has so much character. Your message is profound and something that we all need to hear. I am so glad that you do take the time to post, your talent and tutorials are always wanted and needed. Blessings

What a great message and share while viewing your “God given talent”! Thank you for sharing all of yourself with us ❤️. Is this original or a print for sale?

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Lovely sketch

[@517Jeannebee]

I’m curious to the type of pencil that is that you were drawing with- I didn’t see it in your links

[@biblejournalingwithsandyal6004]

It’s a lead holder, bought it back in college.

[@517Jeannebee]

@@biblejournalingwithsandyal6004 oh okay thanks! I've been seeing these in different drawing videos and I have never used one but I like the super fine tip.
