Amen! Surely Goodness and Mercy Will follow me all the days of my life! Last night as I was caring for my son Bryan, thanking God for His grace at a moment when my mind was wondering away to the place where I think I’m tired and why isn’t God healing Bryan, I suddenly heard, “Surely goodness and Mercy will follow me all the days of my life!” Psalm 23:6

I stopped in my tracks. Remembering my commitment to getting out of dark depression and speaking words of life. I miss my son Bryan so much, and I just want him healed. But even in this hard situation, God is good. My son melts my heart. And, for him, surely Goodness and Mercy Will follow him, too. His accident was an accident, they happen. I don’t blame God. I get upset sometimes he hasn’t healed him, but I don’t know God’s timing. Please don’t be like Job’s friends with people you see in trials. Spiritual battles are real. Don’t ever think, “what did they do to deserve this?” Fact is, it may be the enemy trying to destroy them, to stop them from the destiny God has. God will turn it around for good. 

Jesus came to set the captives free!  And, I accept that! I accept all the good God has for my heart! I don’t care what kind of storm you are in. You are not alone! Be set Free! In Jesus Name! Amen! 

Much love, 
Pam and Bryan 💕

You know sometimes, life is just Rough! I haven’t had a bad day, or week, I’ve had a bad couple years. A bad decade actually, lol. I’ts been hard. Truly God has carried me. You have no idea how true!  You know, my spirit can do this, my body has just become so tired. Ands it’s my own fault for not taking care of myself. But even if I did, I think it would still be tired. Most of you know I take care of Bryan, my bedridden son since May 23, 2009! I love this boy so much! But life is really hard. I mean really hard. Only someone who is a caretaker for years would understand. I hate that I’m so tired. And to reserve energy, I kind of shut down inside, I didn’t do anything I didn’t have to. Including painting. Which I love. But it’s work, lol! I stopped Facebook and Pinterest. I just didn’t have the emotional energy to get engaged. 

I don’t know how I’m gonna fix this, BUT GOD! I can only look to Him and trust Him! I know one thing for sure, by turning in and not out to help others, my problems loom much bigger. I become a stingy soul. Holding on to what little energy I have. It’s not enough. I’ve dwindled and dwindled. To become protective, almost bitter. Except I know God would never let that happen to me. I have prayed that long before Bryan’s accident. I didn’t have the best upbringing or marriage, mother and husband both alchoholics. So by the grace of God, He held my hand through all that and blessed me with a Polly Anna mentality, lol. I love the good. I love good. I always try to see the good! The ugly is too bad to look at! It will swallow you up! I’m gonna be like Dory, just keep swimming swimming swimming! Please, you, too, grab on to the good! Find it, build it, see it. God is good! 

I just need a little little bit of a miracle to shake off this depression that has settled on me. God is faithful. And I have to draw closer to Him! I feel like I do with some of my paintings, desperately reaching to touch His heart, to feel Him, to bring His Spirit to life for others to feel. To feel healing, refreshing, His life,His Joy. The opposite of a stingy soul! To be a bountiful soul! What a good prayer, Lord, help me be a bountiful soul! Amen to that!

So, I’ll write more soon. For now, I’m getting my bearings back. And. Please pray for me, especially my tired body. And my frustration that someone took my domain Just For You Prophetic Art (. com) it expired and I didn’t know it. Sadly a lot of my art is tied to that web address for when people click on it from Pinterest and the internet. 

I’ve relaunched this website from JustForYouPropheticArt. C o m
to PamHerrick.com thankfully a lot of my art I put both names in SEO. 
‘But I’m mad that someone took my domain. I’ll get over it...

Lord help me! 

Many blessings and much love! Pam and Bryan! 
He is doing well by the way!
​Thank you for your prayers! 

I know life is hard sometimes. It overwhelms us. But our life is precious. It is the cares of the world and the attacks of the enemy that cause our feet to slip. God directs us to be strong and courageous. To the point, of, "having done all to stand." I just have to share my testimony to give hope that you are stronger than you think. You are precious to the Lord. You know the enemy wants to harm you and often, that harm comes from the thoughts he manages to plant in your head. Pay sweet close attention to whose voice you hear. God says, "Be strong and courageous." Take a breath... know you are not alone, and that what you face will not last forever. It might not even matter 10 minutes from now. Perhaps it might take until tomorrow to be better. Maybe even all week. But this too shall pass.

Or... it might be like a battle I face or other loved ones I have come to know with similar battles. Our loved ones fight for their lives every day with diseases, challenges, and overwhelming odds against them. It is hard to be in this kind of battle. It helps to remember not sweating the small stuff and things that won't matter 10 minutes or a week from now. Always, our perspective rules our heart. Change your perspective, change your life. God's perspective to uplift our heart, "Be strong and courageous!" because "The Lord your God is with you!" You are not alone. (Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous, Do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.) On our darkest day, even that will not be forever. To my friends fighting serious battles. I pray and believe for healing for all our loved ones. I humbly bow my heart to the Lord our God and admit I don't understand, but the enemy is not going to rob me of my belief God is good and to press in for a miracle. And if we don't get that miracle, life is still good, and one day, God will wipe away every tear. I have had a lot of tears. My heart is tender to the afflictions I see around me and mercy runs deep. 

This is the love of God in His saints for one another. We are to be compassionate, it is His way. We need each other. We don't have all the answers and we may not know what to say to one who is hurting. But mark my word, just knowing someone cares about you is all the difference in the world. It is a tangible feeling given by the saints of God of His love. We are His hands and feet. We help each other to be brave. to "be strong and courageous." 

Press on. Don't give up. God is good. We may not have the answers, but I believe while we know not one thing of the reason for what we face, while we are attacked and tossed and living in a storm, the King of Peace beckons our heart to rest. He is on the throne and working on our behalf even if we don't see it. I KNOW this. God's love is my saving grace. God's love is the only thing big enough for all the pain in the world. One day, if we don't see our miracle here, we will be at peace in all things. In heaven, there will be no more tears. 

Until that day, don't crumble, don't give up hope, don't let go of God's promises, press in, "be strong and courageous!" STAND! Press on. Take your land back. And when you are weak, God will be your strength. Fall in his arms until you are strengthened again. 

Much love, 
Bryan's Mom (Pam)

If you have not read my testimony and Bryan's story, I invite you to read it and hope it is an encouragement. I have been through many battles of my son fighting for his life after having been hit by two cars while walking. He was going to be a missionary and this happened just days after he got his passport. It is hard to even wrap your head around it, but I will rest my heart and stand and be courageous. And rest in God with all my hope. I pray my son is healed this side of heaven, but if not, one day for sure, he will be made whole, and so will my heart. And you, too my friend, will be made whole.

Our praise releases power here in our earthly realm. There is something so pure in the trust of turning to our Lord in our times of trouble. We are acknowledging Him and His power to change our circumstances. Even when our praise amounts to just wanting to crumble in the arms of Jesus, we are acknowledging our trust in Him. Turning to God for help, is a form of praise. It is not to ignore our problems, but to know we are not alone in them. My prayers to all my brothers and sisters going through a hard time right now. God is on the throne and your trust and praise in Him is going to deliver you. You will go from glory to glory. You will become stronger each time!

​You can look back on what God delivered you from and give praise that will carry you through your current battle. It is the power of your own testimony to your own heart! Glory to God for His unfailing love for each of our hearts. I know there have been many of nights I just crumbled in the arms of Jesus, and that was my saving grace at the moment. Sometimes we are on the mountain top and sometimes we feel like we are crushed under it, but as long as we keep turning to God and put our eyes on Jesus and not the problem, we are going to be delivered! God bless!

Pray Big! Ever think all you have now is fruit of your prayers? Every victory from a prayer whispered? By pray big, I don't mean harder, I mean think big! What do you need? A better marriage, a kinder spouse, more peace? Your own heart healed? Build it with God. His plans are good for you. Just take a minute and look at the things in your life that came from prayer. You just know it did. Well, don't forget you are building tomorrow today with your prayers. And when thinking of prayer, think like this, talk with God all day, live a prayer, walk with Him. He so loves our company and to see our joy. If you don't see what you think you want right away, know God is on the throne and working on your behalf according to His good will for your life, and your loved ones. He knows.

​Sometimes it may take a while to see a prayer come to pass, sometimes, God has better plans for you. Sometimes there is a lesson. All I know is, ever victory I see, I remember praying for it. And sometimes I ask God to show me His glory and say, please answer this prayer, just this one little thing, let me see you move on my behalf. And He does! He is just having mercy on my frailty because He knows the deep needs of my heart at that moment. He doesn't have to show His hand for us to know He is there, but I love it when He does! Pray BIG! Don't forget to build your life with God!

Prophetic Art uplifts our heart because it speaks God's peace and hope to us. Like this painting of the Holy Spirit Symbol of a Dove surrounding and protecting our heart. Each person that sees it, God will talk to them through that piece of Art. God will speak to you through any art, actually, because He knows what you have need of when you look at it. With Prophetic Art, the artist at the time feels a painting from nudgings from the Holy Spirit. This painting may speak very loudly to some at that time. I believe God knew who needed to "hear" the message in the painting through their own eyes. And later, that very same painting will speak again differently to the same person or speak loudly again to others, because God deposited His Prophetic message in the painting. It speaks what He wants it to to the person seeing it. I love Prophetic Art for this reason.

Sometimes it is painted symbols, like A Dove, Bride of Christ, or Lion of Judah. Other times it is spiritual messages in random colors and shapes. Color is a powerful tool used to deliver a message, just like the colors used in flag worshiping and banners. I will make a post of the meaning of prophetic colors soon. A lot of people have asked for that, as well as what is Prophetic Art. Which is why I am sharing this post now. 

I am am also sharing it to share my own struggles and how Prophetic Art helps me. I have been a little overwhelmed lately with family emergencies. I paint for peace and courage. God ministers to my heart through art and then uses that same art to minister to others what He knows they need. It blesses my heart so much to see this happen and His art come to life. 

It helps me to see Prophetic Art, especially when my spirit is feeling attacked or low. I love to scroll through Facebook or Pinterest and see other people's Prophetic Art. By the time I look at a few, I feel empowered by the Holy Ghost! I have more courage and peace than before I looked! Notice how you feel after looking at Prophetic Art and notice what God's Spirit is saying to you. Listen to your art with your heart. Just let what you see sink in and comfort, empower or encourage you!

Thanks for looking! God bless you!

This is my beloved Bryan, my reason to choose better health. What's yours? You are a masterpiece! Maybe you forgot that. God woke me up the other night with this idea, WRITE A LOVE LETTER TO YOURSELF FROM GOD. Seriously! I had been praying about what to share to help those I invited on this journey with me to lose weight and better health. I know many are in a funk like I was and don't know where to start to get out. A great starting point is your love letter! We beat ourselves up enough, we need love and encouragement. Sometimes our families around us don't know how to be that encouragement. My family has been great to help me with this, but God knows things deeper than they do. I know how hard it is to get motivated to loose weight or to just eat healthy. Somewhere, somehow, we just have to find our boot straps and give a good pull up! I have found, without God, I can't grab on to those stupid boot straps! Just venting, as this is not an easy process, it wasn't for me anyway, and the words, "Just Do It" are not so easy to follow. God knows what will help you, so first and foremost, pray and ask for His help. I am sharing what God has shown me with hopes He can use it to give courage to someone else. 

Our heart is a big part of why, when, what and how we eat! So our heart is the first thing that needs healing. The food, once we make healthy adjustments, will do the healing to our bodies, because God put what our bodies need in the food. But our hearts, when beaten down, find it hard to make the right choices. Sometimes, honestly, to the point we don't want to take care of our self, knowingly or unknowingly. 

So, back to the your love letter, write one as soon as possible. Take out a piece of paper and pen and get alone somewhere you will not be interrupted and you can pour your heart out to God. Talk to Him and tell him what has been on your mind and heart lately, what hurts. He knows everything, so don't be shy, tell him like it really is. Cry, vent, yell, whatever you need to do, get it all out. This is for you, to get it out of your heart and out there in the open where God can help you deal with it. After you are all done, pouring your heart out. Take out your piece of paper. Pray to God and ask Him to write a love letter to you, pray you only hear His voice...begin to write...make sure in the right tense, start off with something like, "My beloved daughter, (or My son, ) so you remember you are writing as though God is talking to you. Only one thing to remember before you start writing, God is love. He is not going to judge you, just love, so start your writing remembering that. Listen to God's heart for you and you will begin to hear more clearly. Make sure to write all you hear. Don't hurry, if there is a pause, gently listen and write. 

Don't read further than here. Go write the letter and then come back. 

No peeking past here!!!! lol. After you have written the letter, make sure you are alone, then read the letter back to yourself out loud. That letter is your bootstrap. God is going to help you! If you were waiting for a good day to start on a health journey to lose weight or to just be more healthy, today is a good day! 

Everyday, you can turn to Him for help. Talk to Him and get the pains you may have out, and listen to Him for love and healing. You matter, and your heart matters to Him. Your life matters to Him. 


We have to get our heart healing and look to Him to help us keep it healing. Then we can address how we look at food and what to eat or not to eat! Heart first!!!

God put beautiful food here on earth just for you! We can paint our bodies healthy, so to speak, from the inside out! We know we should eat better, but In our hustle and bustle world, we sometimes get so busy we end up grabbing food from a box, or as in my case, get so busy we forget to eat. Depression can also cause us to eat foods to help us feel better but they don't help our health. We miss all the wonderful stuff God put in fruits and vegetables that will make us healthy. Some foods can even cure certain diseases. Certain types of food actually help us to lose weight. Think of food painting you beautiful from the inside out! Think of your Masterpiece! 

TODAY'S EASY TIP: Put Black Pepper on your food! Did you know it helps with your digestion? Not only that, it helps you with weight loss. It has a substance called Piperine that can stop the formation of new fat cells. Plus Black Pepper has antibacterial and and antioxidant effects, and even helps with gas! Shake on that pepper, it's healthy!!!!

If you missed last blog's tip, take a peek. Each blog I will be sharing one or more tips that help health and/or weight loss. I hope this was a help to someone one! I am going to keep sharing with you until I have lost the 50 lbs. I have to lose! For more tips you can also checkout my Pinterest health board. I will be sharing some of them here soon, I have lots there on Pinterest, but have not researched them all. I will only be sharing stuff here on my blog that I know works.  Here is Pinterest link, just find the health board. There are also neat art and recipe boards if you are interested. www.pinterest.com/JFYPropheticArt/ 

I would love to hear how you are doing and how your love letter from God touched your heart, if you would like to share. 

Painting/picture on this post is my Beloved Son Bryan. He is my reason for wanting to take care of my health. He needs me. You can read his story here, www.pamherrick.com/inspirational-prophetic-art-and-story.html That is a plate of my food (eggs, avacodos, tomatoes and onions) I sat on his tummy. I feed him like this to keep him healthy, but would forget to feed myself! He eats really well! I have to puree it up to put in his tummy tube. The doctors said I couldn't. It was too hard and too much work. And I would not know what to feed him. I have fed my boy all my life, I know how to feed my kid, just as you know how to feed yours! And on that note, my son has not been to the hospital even once since since around 2010 when he got aspiration pneumonia from chocking on the formula the doctors wanted him to have. He gets all real food now, there is no chocking on formula any more (that used to happen when he was on a feeding pump with formula). Patients in Bryan's condition have multiple hospital visits all the time, I think if they ate real food they would do better! With that said, FOOD MATTERS! And for us, it matters! Eat as healthy as you can!!!

God bless you!!!! 
Love, 
Bryan's Mom (Pam)
