I see beauty dancing out of ashes.
I see that as we lift our hands – broken, dirty, scarred – to worship Him, healing waters flow like rivers from heaven to wash us clean and bring healing to our wounds.
The Lord is taking up the ashes from the broken pieces of our lives, and out of them He is making beautiful crowns of gold that He will place upon our heads.
I see a season of deep renewal that is coming.
There’s a release in the atmosphere, like the first breath of fresh air in Spring.
Healing. Restoration. Breakthrough.
He is making all things new.
I see multi-colors of dazzling beauty coursing through the atmosphere. There is power to create things of beauty + tear down works of darkness.
I see that as we worship in dance & lift our hands to heaven, we release His creative power. Where we move our feet, He brings deliverance. Where we move our hands, He brings new life.
Dance, dance, in worship to your King.
In the midst of your fear, worship. Do not be afraid, the Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.
In the midst of your weariness, worship. Do not be burdened, for He refreshes the weary and satisfies the faint.
In the midst of your pain & sorrow, worship. Do not lose your faith, the Lord Almighty, the God of all the earth, is your husband. He will save you with His loving hand.
Salvation is near. Declare to your circumstances, “It is well,” for the Lord your God is mighty to save.
I see that as we praise Him, we are lifted up above our circumstances and seated in authority to change that situation.
I see that our praises are like fiery arrows to the enemy camp. Our praise tears down the work of the enemy, our worship releases the kingdom God.
Laugh, laugh, in worship unto Him.
Rejoice in the desert places & sing for joy in the barren lands.
Laugh without fear of the future, because your Deliverer is coming for you. He is turning our mourning into dancing, our sorrow into joy.
I see that we release the supernatural glory of heaven into our life through worship.
I see breakthrough is available for us.
When our feet move in worship, we crush satan under our feet. As we move our hands with dance, life is released.
Lift up your head, and look, for the King of Glory enters in.

Get a limited edition digital copy of the “It is well” watercolor print that coordinates with the hardcover journal — only available for the first 100 journals purchased, so get your copies now.

Your paintings are beautiful, as are your words.
beautiful words, beautiful images – thank you
“In the midst of your pain & sorrow, worship. Do not lose your faith, the Lord Almighty, the God of all the earth, is your husband. He will save you with His loving hand.” LOVE that!
AMEN! I’ve gotten ‘new season’ lately. Love this post so so much.
Hey! I blog at DIY Creative Therapy and I am currently taking guest posters. I saw this post and I was thinking you might be a perfect guest poster. Let me know if you are interested! I love your dancers!
Beautiful words and beautiful pictures!
VERY appreciated – VERY encouraging!
the picture of the dancing reminds me of the song: with my hands lifted up, and my mouth filled with praise, with a heart of thanksgiving, I will bless the oh Lord.
Your work is so inspiring. I love your words and the way you express yourself through art. Beautiful.
Loved reading your spot on post with the beautiful artwork!
Those watercolor pictures are gorgeous! Love them!
I shared. It spoke to me! In the dancing, in the creativity, in God moving supernaturally as we pray and do warfare in “unusual” ways by the world’s standards. Yes! Amen!
I needed to hear these words today. So much trouble surrounding me. Thanks for posting this. So helpful.
Wow. A combination of eloquent words and beautiful paintings. Very encouraging.
Beautiful artwork and words. I don’t often think about dancing when I think about praising God but it is certainly a beautiful and creative way to return our thanks.
Your words spoke directly to my heart! How refreshing, encouraging, and beautiful your call to worship was…were it not for this sleeping baby in my lap, I would have jumped up to dance right now! I did raise my hands to praise him, Hallelujah! Ah, thank you. Thank you for this sweet reminder to more than pray, read, or sing…but to WORSHIP with spirit and truth, to dance before the Lord 🙂 If your post itself wasn’t enough, your beautiful artwork invoked an even deeper hunger to dance and go with the spirit’s flow. This was a much needed read on my part, thank you! 🙂
These are some beautiful paintings for sure. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Samantha, your site is always beautiful. It’s a buffet of light and color as are your words which speak gently to our souls.
