Jesus died to save us

“Renew and Rejoice”
ByRenae Zanella April 1, 2024March 19, 2025
The artist couldn’t make it to paint for the last service so with 40 mins notice to prepare I jumped for Jesus!!! This is in honor of my faithful mother Pat Jacobs who loves Jesus with all her heart. Even as I started painting the woman became purple my moms favorite color. And she wanted to be remembered by butterflies.

I’m in awe of God and how he can make a way so spontaneously. That was the shortest notice I’ve ever had to paint live for worship. What a gift to have that opportunity to be completely inspired and obedient in the moment on the day that our Lord and Savior was raised from the dead.

Pat Jacobs 🦋 Memorial
ByRenae Zanella November 30, 2023December 21, 2023
My sweet and faithful mom Pat Jacobs went to her heavenly home early in the morning on November 21, 2023. She was surrounded by family and friends as she transitioned. It’s a blessing to know she was greeted by Jesus and a huge welcoming party! She is dancing in the field of flowers clanging her tambourine 🌸

My entire family would like to thank everyone for all of your prayers, love and support. She is a very special woman who devoted her life to pointing people to God. She is so loved and will be deeply missed.

December 8, 2023 at the Lutheran Church of Hope Chapel in West Des Moines, IA at 10:00am visitation, 11:00am celebration of life service followed by a lunch in the bridge.

Please wear Tie Dye and be ready to celebrate! 🦋she wants to be remembered by butterflies.

“Light of Heaven and Earth”
ByRenae Zanella September 26, 2023December 8, 2024
It has taken me 8 months to finish this blog not because it took me a long time to type or put it together but because the enemy tried stopping me. 3 times I lost everything so I had to completely renter all the content and that’s because the devil knows how powerful this story is!!

I said “Yes” to painting live 1.28.23 and God used it to send a strong message of hope to a mother who’s son recently ended his time here on earth. She saw his face in the painting during the worship service. Then I discovered magazine clippings that were referring to suicide. There are no accidents. When we fully surrender to God he can uses anything and anyone to carry out his will. Then see the other two clippings on the painting that have connections to suicide Fyodor Dostoevsky a Russian novelist, Viktor Frankl a Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor. Also Black Elk an indigenous holy man cousin to Crazy Horse who went from scalping to a Saint is connected to this painting. God is on the move.

Color of Praise

“Color of Praise”
ByRenae Zanella November 20, 2022January 10, 2023
Renae’s painting reflected the loud colors of praise. The Sneaky Spirit flowed through her brushes and spray cans and paper cuttings! It was a “Get Loud” painting for Jesus! Get up close to see what was going on in this Spirit-led painting! “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” Quote from Banksy.
Time to get on our knees and serve our King!
-her mother Pat Jacobs

Eden’s Dawn Light

“Eden’s Dawn Light”
ByRenae Zanella May 13, 2022March 19, 2025
This painting represents the miracle that each dawn brings us. A new day to praise God and share the light. A gift from God to experience another day in his glorious creation. The tree of life represents the wisdom of Gods word and the fruit it will produce from reading and obeying. God created boundaries so that we could live our life to the fullest and experience all of Gods glory. When we give into sin we experience a psychological death. But the good news is everyday we can turn back around to God, repent and ask for forgiveness. Gods love is unconditional so he will forgive us and we will have eternal life.

SOS

“SOS”
ByRenae Zanella February 7, 2022September 20, 2026
Human trafficking is an incredibly real evil that exists everywhere in this world. In 2020, 10,583 situations of human trafficking were reported to the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline involving 16,658 individual victims. The Lutheran Church of Hope hosted a conference February 5, 2021 called “Hope Against Trafficking” to help raise awareness. I was invited to paint live for the event as the speakers revealed information about this global epidemic.

“153”
ByRenae Zanella November 15, 2021March 19, 2025
Happy 1 year anniversary to Hope + Elim! Completely overwhelmed in the most incredible way possible from the weekend events. Hearing the speakers Saturday night and then the two services on Sunday moved every ounce of my being deep inside. Absolutely humbled and honored to paint live for the 11am service. 62 years ago Dr. Martin Luther King stood on this same stage, the only time he visited Iowa and preached about a beloved community.
