28/4/2020: Managed to complete these 7 pieces of art drawings!
For the ST Colouring Contest!
Gosh, it has been a long time since I Doodled.
And the past 7 days, I must say that it was a fun project to undertake! The cats poster was an educational one for me when I researched into those 'Meows" before I started colouring!
The rest of the creativity came along as I dreamed about the art.
The world of crayons bought for S$5.80 and a few highlighters totalling about $12 all in all which I spent for this art project for 7 days.
The rest were free stuff - from metallic and colour papers to aluminium and pastry plastic bags, ang pows, ribbons, crafts & old buttons, supermarket magazines and the ST papers.
Ha! And I managed to complete all 7! What an achievement!

Before and After!
Some reflection ...Is God an Artist too?
If i am "MUIchaelangelo?
I believe He is!
From beginning of Genesis, the earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness.
Just like this Before & After artwork - from black and white to a new world of multicoloured and 3D masterpiece!
In the last book of the bible, Revelation 21 describes the city of light , the new Heaven and Earth!
One of the 7 angels took John to see the Holy Jerusalem!
v9-27
What an awesome description of the new place that is prepared for those who know Him in the future!
The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia[c] in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits[d] thick.[e] 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.[f] 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.
22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
[ I had an opportunity to see all the 12 precious stones when I was in Cappodocia , Turkey last year in April 2019. - see the video of these stones in the blog below!]
Final Thots
Can you imagine the world without all the colours created ?
Can you thank God that you are not blind now, but you see?
Can you fathom the mind of God who created the rainbow?
Can you wonder the milky way & the technicolour of the universe?
Can you stare in awe of the colour of the beauty of nature?
Can you embrace the colours of the 4 seasons?
Our Lord God is an amazing Artist! He is and He is so wonderfully creative!
To have your name listed in the Lamb's Book of Life is as simple as ABC. Don't hold back anymore if you agree to the mysterious imagination of the world of colours He has given to us as a gift of sight.
A- Admit that we are sinners
B- Believe in Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Lamb who was slain to take our sins so that we may live. He died and he rose again.
C- Confess with our mouth and allow Him to be the guiding light in our life.
There is no fear in a virus called Covid 19.
May we fear not in this C of cancer or Covid, but rather
May we have the fear of the Lord. That is the beginning of Wisdom.
