I am absolutely blown away by the support and sweet, sweet messages I received from my update post. Being vulnerable and raw isn't easy, but it is something I feel called to do and I'm so honored that you all took the time to read a little part of my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your comments, messages and silent prayers. They are definitely felt and as one message read, "the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to be seen." While I know this journey has just begun, I already feel lighter and wanted to share one thing a little more optimistic. It's something that I have been doing to "find happy" and while I am super nervous and anxious to finally be sharing it, I know it might mean something to someone.
Being at home this past year has given me a lot of time to search to find things that I enjoy doing, something for me. Drawing, doodling, crafting, painting, sewing, designing, taking pictures, listening to a really good playlist, really anything that uses that creative slice in my brain. These things light a spark in my soul that I cannot explain in words. Finding time to research these hobbies, dabble in these hobbies has been so fun and life giving. It is something I truly enjoy doing and if I'm dreaming REALLY big I hope to do something with one of them one day... like for real do. But until then, taking small baby steps... I've started turning my doodles, drawings and hand lettering into prints. This has become a form of worship for me. I slow down, I listen to music, I pray and I draw. My favorite so far is the HE IS print. Jesus plays a lot of roles in our lives. I love that I left it blank and He can be anything. HE IS good, HE IS my savior, HE IS always there, HE IS the Almighty, HE IS my protector, HE IS everything.
After a lot of planning, procrastinating and getting over fears of being vulnerable with my "art", I have finally opened an Etsy shop! Making these prints has been something I look forward to, they give me a purpose and fill me with joy as I get to share things the Lord has planted in me.
While I would never consider myself an artist, I truly enjoy creating things and I hope you can find a place in your home for a print... or two.
