<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
You see, I was born in Sallisaw and besides a brief stint away, this is home. A lot of my family and husband's family is here. Many of my childhood friends are still here. I've got great memories in Sequoyah County. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But for all the great things I see, there are some obvious glaring unlovliness. </div>
<div>
-Drug use </div>
<div>
-Unemployment </div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">-Few sidewalks and many in disrepair.</span></div>
<div>
-Lack of green habits (no recycling centers and country roads with a ridiculous amount of trash that has been tossed out of car windows, just to name a few)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Where some see problems, and it is so easy to grumble about the problems, I see possibility. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And that's the word I focused on. Possibility. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<img alt="" id="id_7c07_56a9_7a06_f097" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e_-_PnBJj2o/WHAV1sSP1HI/AAAAAAAACm8/iGRaJA_x98U/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png" style="height: auto; width: 298px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br />
<div>
Here's the first layer: newspaper bits, an envelope of my grandmas from the 70s, the hymn <i>Why Not Now? </i>from Hanson Baptist's hymnal book and other papers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Several layers later, I was happy with the background. </div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_f5cd_16b3_782c_2dc0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3x5XTKTiies/WHAV3IfOLNI/AAAAAAAACnI/NjHTiaE-5ns/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png" style="height: auto; width: 298px;" title="" tooltip="" /> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I put out the call on Facebook for help with the wording and here are some of the GREAT responses I got: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Possibility is hope unleashed. </div>
<div>
She she's possibility everywhere. </div>
<div>
Where hope is planted, possibility grows.</div>
<div>
Possess your ability. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I almost put, "I will be a part of the possibility." But I thought that sounded really pretentious and could be seen as snooty. <i>Who does she think she is</i>....I can hear it now. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided it needed to be an invitation because that always goes over better than commands. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Come & be a part of the possibilities.</div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_7086_6f21_c272_1620" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5f9DBGbYMEI/WHAV2_dtzeI/AAAAAAAACnE/OVMhcMYNCjI/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png" style="height: auto; width: 298px;" title="" tooltip="" /> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An invitation to those that live here to do something, anything, to contribute to cultivating community and being a light.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An invitation to those thinking about moving here that they have something to contribute. That we are open to their ideas, their stories and their dreams. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An invitation to those just passing through while they are here for <a href="https://m.facebook.com/Diamond-Daze-Festival-Sallisaw-Oklahoma-206409349394236/" target="_blank">Diamond Daze</a> or just filling up at the gas station to pick up the Focus magazine because the cover caught their eye and maybe they'll want come back soon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I believe in possibilities and I believe in the good in Sequoyah County. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is a growing community of runners and bicycle riders that you'll see early in the morning or late in the evenings. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mommy meet ups are happening weekly at the area parks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fort Smith has a growing arts & culture scene thanks to the <a href="https://vimeo.com/199463928" target="_blank">Unexpected</a> <a href="http://5newsonline.com/2017/01/15/fort-smith-named-top-city-for-street-art/" target="_blank">Murals</a> that we could be spring boarding off easily. There is a <b>plethora</b> of blank canvases in downtown Sallisaw.</div>
<div>
We. Need. Murals. and that's all there is to it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We should take notes on Fort Smith embracing the western/cowboy vibe. With the Marshall's <a href="http://www.swtimes.com/news/20160922/new-director-excited-about-us-marshals-museum-in-fort-smith" target="_blank">museum</a> that is suppose to be built, it will be attracting tourists. So why aren't we embracing our Indian heritage? We are the first big stop on I40 for travelers and the Cherokee Nation estimates more than 12,000 visitors this year to Sequoyah's Cabin. A quarter of our population is Native American so it's not that far of a stretch for us. For people on road trips <b>we are the eastern entrance to the Wild West. </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Speaking of Wild West, I'm putting out a call for someone to make a <a href="https://www.google.com/amp/m.newsok.com/article/5360876/amp?client=safari" target="_blank">Pretty Boy Floyd</a> reenactments happen. It <i>can and should</i> be done! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Arts, history and culture not your thing? Thankfully, we are a hop, skip and a jump from several lakes and the Arkansas River. A good chunk of our southern boarder is protected by the federal wildlife refuge and is a duck hunter and fisherman's paradise. Tenkiller, Kerr and Brushy only add to the beauty of our rolling hills. Load your boat up and spend a day on the water! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not the only one that sees the good and sees the possibilities. Ask your neighbor, your friends, your kid's teacher, your preacher, the lady checking out your groceries, the boys and girls club director, your council member, the bank teller, anybody really. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Find those that you share a vision with and make it happen</b>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Those Blessing Boxes that have sprung up all over the county, that is because people saw a need and made it happen! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Did you know that there are a few Little Free Libraries around the county? How cool is that? Making our citizens more literate and well read, all while providing opportunities for interacting with each other, <b>for free</b>! Score!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, to wrap this puppy up, be a part of the possibilities, not part of the problems.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cooperate and collaborate, don't complain. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There <b><i>is</i></b> good here if you choose to see it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And I am choosing to see the good. </div>
<div>
Will you join us?</div>
<div>

Hide them out in public, in your grandma's back yard, at school, wherever they want to because the world needs more art and joy.
<br />
<div>

Over the years we've done <a href="http://freelittlebirdstudio.blogspot.com/2014/01/mimicking-masters-van-gogh-starry-night.html">Starry Night</a>, <a href="http://freelittlebirdstudio.blogspot.com/2014/08/van-gogh-sunflowers.html">Sunflowers</a> and now we are adding the yellow chair to the list! I took a mixed media approach to this since oil paints ain't gonna to happen, ever.
<div> </div>
<div>First we sketched out our chairs, then added bits of papers in the same colors as we'd be painting later.
<div> </div>

<div>Adding a splash of color. </div>

<div>Then, they used washi tape, stamps, stencils and ink spray to add fun texture.

<br /></div>
<div>
This class really started when a random lady at the Indian clinic I go to for all my prenatal appointments (have 3 kids in under four years and people start to recognize your face) came up to me and said she follows me on Instagram, is so inspired by my bible journal posts and if I ever do a bible journaling class or retreat she'd be the first to sign up. Well that sweet lady was in for long suffering because teaching adults was not even on my radar. Teach kids, absolutely. Blindfolded, you got it! But adults frighten me. Still. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But that sweet random lady is also abounding in loving encouragement because she didn't give up. She kept encouraging me every doctor's visit and on every post. So when my baby was 10 months old I wasn't nursing her every two hours and I decided to needed a few days of my teaching fix. Cyber Monday I posted the link for the four classes I was offering after Christmas and guess who was first to jump on the list for the intro to bible journaling....you guessed it, long suffering Marlina, the most encouraging Cherokee in Sequoyah County. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
New Years Eve, 15 ladies took the plung with me into the uncharted waters of me teaching adults (well 3 of them were kids because I think we can learn a thing or two about the artistic bravery of kids.....and truth be told so maybe I would be a tad more comfortable.)<br />

Next, they tried my favorite pens (Signo micro and bold) and practicing some basic hand lettering to get their creative juices flowing, I broke everyone up into four stations and they got to play with my go to supplies: black gesso with white gel pens, colored pencils, fluorescent gel pens, water colors, stamps, water color pencils, stencils, stickers and various black pens. </div>

6. Small house dweller. After kicking around the idea of minimalism for many years, my husband and I dove head first in it and cut our square footage in half when we moved. Five people in 1020 sq feet is an adventure that I am enjoying!</div>

Earlier this summer I couldn't take all the negative news and gloom and doom small talk, so I decided to do something. My kids and I hid a painting at the 14 Flags Museum, posted it on Facebook and went home hoping to release some positivity into the world and change up the dialog going on. Within 30 minutes it was found and over the next week people were asking when the next round was!<br>

<b>Round 2!</b></div>
<div>
Around the time of the Sallisaw rodeo, we hid some more paintings in downtown Sallisaw and posted this picture. Nothing priceless, just examples from classes I had taught and things I'd made for my house that I had enjoyed but was ready to pass on. </div>

With even more people excited about #artdropsallisaw my kids and I dug through some more of our canvases and waited for the perfect time to do the third round. We didn't have to wait long because the second presidential debate provided breeding ground for social media craziness. This time, we put them in city parks and encouraged everyone to set their party differences aside and get some fresh air.<br>

Ecclesiastes has been a favorite of mine for a long while. Maybe it is because so many in my generation see the <i>vanity</i> in the American Dream, or that we've seen people spend their lives "<i>chasing after the wind</i>" only to be monetarily wealthy but spiritually bankrupt. We've seen friends and neighbors crippled by credit card debt from trying to accumulate things as Dave Ramsey says to impress people we don't care for. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What we are craving is authenticity. We admire people who speak the truth when they say that they've tried it all like the author of Ecclesiastes, wealth, pleasure and knowledge, and without God it didn't satisfy. </div>

I pulled this girl from a W magazine at a salon because I knew she could go with this verse. I changed the pronouns to feminine but it is truth for both genders. Have you ever known someone that literally their face shines? There is a lady named Patsy that I've known all my life that is so joy filled that even when you see her driving her bus route her face shines with the brightest smile. And if you happen to run into her in Walmart you will leave blessed having just been around her because her love for God pours out of every fiber of her being.</div>

Ecclesiastes is as applicable to this present time as it was when it was written thousands of years ago. Everything will pass. Don't gossip. Evil is real. Enjoy your labor. Eat, drink & be merry. Live simply. Fear God. Keep his commands.</div>

If you are looking for a bible study with depth, look no further. We studied the life of Moses last year and covered and uncovered so much in Exodus through Deuteronomy.

<i>And so from the day we heard, we have not ceased praying for you, asking that you may be filled with knowledge of this will and all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that as you walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in knowledge of the Lord.

<i>Put on then as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive.

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This next verse in particular struck me. I've always heard people say that they'll pray that God will open a door or that when he doesn't open a door he'll open a window ect., and I guess I never realized that it was actually a biblical reference. But the thing that really spoke to my heart was that Paul (like many of this other letters) was in prison when he wrote this. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">So from a <i>literal</i> standpoint he may have been praying that the prison doors open or for the believers outside declaring the good news to have opportunities to share it, that Paul couldn't do where he was. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Metaphorically, maybe he was saying that people's hearts and minds are in prisons that haven't heard the good news or have shut themselves off from it refusing to hear anymore.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Which got me to meditating on the fact that he was in a physical prison but spiritually he was golden. Many then as well as today from the outside look like they have it going on but spirtually they are trapped in a prison. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><i>At the same time pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word to declare the mystery of Christ on account of which I am in prison. Colossians 4:3</i></span><br>

From being cut off and uprooted earlier in the chapter to later the promise of never being uprooted can be confusing but I think it boils down to that weeds in your life must be pulled out<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> before anything good can grow. </span></div>

When I read it in the past, I always took away from it the condemning of the church at the time for sins like: rejecting authority, immorality, grumbling, showing favoritism, ect<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
But that view of Jude was shattered when I came to this gem of a verse:</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
"Have mercy on those who doubt." </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mercy- compassion, love, kindness & space to figure out what they believe.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Not what doubters usually face- judgement, frustration & condemnation <b><i>from Christians.</i></b></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>

<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
As one who has gone through seasons of doubt this verse really spoke to me because I can remember being bitter towards religion & anyone who tried to press it on me only made me dig my heels in the sand further. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mercy was what I needed. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Prayer was what I needed & there were people praying for me. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Space was what I needed & got. I eventually came back to a God with open arms and a church family with open arms without smug looks.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
After doing this entry in my bible & photographing it, I wrote with a pencil around the illustration the people I know who are going through seasons on doubt. They will be in my prayers that they not only receive mercy from Christians they encounter but that they find their way back to God.</div>

My bible journaling adventure begins!A year or so ago while scrolling through Pinterest (I'm sure during a late night feeding with the youngest son,) I came across a new bible study that caught my eye. Illustrated Faith or bible journaling is literally using a bible as an art journal to illustrate verses or write them in the margins in a creative way.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Honestly, at first I thought it might be a tad bit sacrilegious especially ones that had paint covering the word of God, but growing up in a family that the women especially are <i>notorious</i> for hi-lighting, underlining, scribbling notes in the margins and filling the back pages with quotes from their favorite sermons AND the fact that I'm an extremely visual and hands on learner, I couldn't resist this new way of studying the bible. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I did a test run of this last Christmas in my art journal with Artful Advent. </span><br>
<div>

So come August 2015, I picked up an ESV journaling bible before our vacation, packed a few goodies from my art supply stash and dove in when we got to the beach. </div>

I'll be honest that I have NEVER had a regular quiet time, ever. My "go with the flow mentality" just revolts agains scheduled regiments. So just picking one book of the bible and focusing on one page at a time and illustrating one <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">verse that speaks truth into my life has worked out well for me and has allowed God to reveal things that I would miss had I just had a check list of reading through the bible. And the beauty of it for me is that it's not on a time schedule, while my boys play in the sandbox I can do a page in 10 minutes or an hour or work on a page off and on for a few days. I can be as simplistic as it gets with just a pen or go hog wild with any supply I have already!</span></div>
