How God Helps Us Connect the Dots in Our Lives and Our Art

Thirty-three dots — that’s how it started

Someone mentioned how God is good at connecting the dots in their lives.

I agree with that. When I look back on my life, I see when God was there even though I didn’t know it.

My artwork challenge of 33 dots expanded my mind, my thinking, and my connection to God.

And another fact, Jesus died at age 33. I didn’t clue into that fact when I started the challenge. Meg Konovska reminded me of this.

How do I start this abstract exercise?

I pray before I put the dots down — randomly on the page. Then I connect those dots with a contour, never crossing over lines.

What do you see?

Now I pray again — what can I see here Lord?

The dots connected.
