What is the story behind your Avatar?

[Biblicist]

As I greatly value my text books and as I often leave them in odd places, which can make them a bit hard to find, I figured, hey, why not keep some of them in an easy to find place!

 

[gennypearl]

i was looking for a cartoon or an anime picture of sort, this image emerged as one of the search results. decided to use it as my avatar since i am petite and I love listening to music.

My current avatar is one of the prayer bracelets I have been making, which I give to other people to let them know I have prayed for them.
All the colours have a meaning, and I wrote the poem.

Pink - healing
Red - love
Aqua - water of the Spirit
Yellow - joy
Emerald - mercy
Rose pink - God’s loving care.

May God grant healing and make you whole,
may the love of Jesus touch your soul.
May the water of God revive every part,
may the joy of the Lord fill your heart.
May God, in his mercy, hear this prayer,
may the Father keep you in his loving care.

I'm working on bookmarks for the men.

PS: Have you written any more poetry?

Ooops, sorry...wrong thread

I chose 2 flowers because I know I cannot do it on my own. Before the CF upgrade, on my profile page, I had a picture of hundreds of these flowers, symbolizing that we're in this together, and it's going to take us all... but, the profile pictures are gone for now

Quite a bit, but I'm not sure it's very good, or what poets would call poetry.

Years ago I was invited to a poetry group, and we each had to take along something that we'd written. I didn't understand any of the other poems - seriously. They were all discussing the imagery, theme and so on, and I was thinking, "you what?"
Anyway. I had taken something that I'd written that was humorous and in verse, and I'm afraid that I lied and insisted that I'd forgotten to bring anything with me.

About 15 years ago, though, I won 3rd prize in a national poetry competition - nonsense verse section!

I 3D modeled my shield years ago when we were lobbying to create the Word of Faith faith icon for CF. It was too detailed for a faith icon, so I used it as my avatar, Alpha and Omega.

reminds me of "pilgrims progress " when i see it

God surrounds me, walks with me, is my strength protection and guide (amazingly He is all of this a strong Presence in my life even when I fail and am not strong - He is the strength of my heart and my portion forever Ps 73). Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you. Heb 13:5

at least it used to be on the old website.. I see it has gone now.

When I was a bit younger, I wanted a tattoo that looked like a blowing Canadian flag. When I found this, I have used this ever since.

I ended up getting a Canadian and Israel flag crossing, but it wasn't blowing, so I had it covered, and now I just love it.

Hi, fellow Canuck! The Maple Leaf flag is 50 years old this year!

So do you have any/ any other visible ink now?

Blessings.

Yes, but none with Canadian heritage. It's a cross with a robe, crown of thorns, a dove, eagles and my kids names. Look for the tattoo thread here, it's a bazillion pages long but I think it's in there. But only visible when my sleeves are rolled up My Avatar was what I wanted on my tattoo.

Mine is a smily face since I love making others happy

The round stained-glass window at Notre Dame Cathedral. Alas, I've never seen it in person; I just chose it because it makes a beautiful avatar.

Forgive me for resurrecting an old thread, but my new avatar is a photo of my little brother, Andrew.

It sounds very unremarkable but it's taken me over 45 years to publicly acknowledge him, because he died just before his 2nd birthday, (I was 4) and for years the memories were just far too painful.
I love this photo.

 

[BeachSun]

I survive and grow only because of His amazing grace.

 

[Strong in Him]

Amen.

Nothing wrong with reviving a thread.

It's a tamarin monkey. Fun fact: tamarins are almost always born in twins and have two fathers. I love these creatures.
