be present.

each and every moment is unique.

be still. be present. listen. learn. grow. heal.

embrace the process.

each little step, each roadblock, each victory, each detour, even each mistake... they are all a part of the journey... embrace the process.

one step...

SHINE.

i've really been amazed at how God has been speaking Truth to me through my art...

don't be afraid to let the true, hidden part of you shine...

trust that there are safe people out there you can be vulnerable with.

there's beauty and light within you... let it shine!

anchor for my soul...

hello, dear friends!

i'm going to do my best to start updating this blog at least once a week. i've been busy the last few weeks with all things creative. rick and i went to ikea and bought some organizational stuff for my "art studio" - a.k.a. formerly, the kitchen table. michaels had a big sale on art supply stuff, so i spent an afternoon there getting a few supplies - SO great! we went to the home depot yesterday to buy some poplar wood for me to paint on. that was a lot of fun. i really do love the home depot. i told rick that i'd love to work there - if i knew how to do anything handy. =)

i've been spending time with God, seeking His will for my life - and for my art... i'm just really thankful to Him for where rick and i are in our lives right now. it's new and exciting - and scary and overwhelming, at times - but it's soooo good. =)

and on top of all of that - i've been making art! asking God to help me find my "creative voice." i've been trying new things - new techniques... and doing my best to enjoy each new step of this journey. (below is one of the pieces i've made in the last few weeks.)

more soon... much LOVE!
