Pictures From My Book References

The book is not launched yet, however, I thought I would let you see one aspect of what the book will offer. Throughout my book, "Discovering the Secret Place - Growing In Jesus," I reference the reader to this webpage to show various pictures on what I was writing about. Since you do not have the book in your hands yet, some of the following pictures may seem confusing. However, some of the pictures will be pretty clear on what I was trying to portray. In a nutshell, the following snapshots will show you various ways to spend time with the Lord. If you are liking what you are seeing here, I bet you will like the book too! If you feel led, sign up for my newsletter below to stay in the loop in when the book launches! Thank You - Ashley

Chapter 13 - Armor of God

Here I am drawing out the Armor of God! Normally I am not this "fancy!" Usually I am just drawing the stick figure with just the various pieces of armor on it. Maybe I write a couple of words here and there to go along with the drawing as well. This time I really added to the various pieces of armor and the truth I needed to hear around those pieces :-)

Chapter 20 - Who, What, and Where is Jesus (God)?

Here is the art therapy project I talked about in Chapter 20. This "assignment' really brought perspective and breakthrough!

As you look at the above picture, the woman to your left represented me, and Jesus is up in the right corner with butterflies. Some of the things between me and the Lord were the eating disorder, obsession with body image, and a lot of negative chatter I told myself. Even though I had these things between us, I always loved Jesus and thought well of Him.

With this picture above, the cross in the upper middle of the page (that is orange and yellow) represents Jesus. I am the princess ballerina holding His hand. Nothing is in the way between us! I still had things (and still do) that want to creep in at times (like loneliness, pain, and anger), but I work hard on not letting those fiery arrows come in (see Ephesians 6).
