Parting ways with artwork

I just gave away a piece of artwork I did in high school that I am quite attached to. It's ok though. I offered it up. I'm teaching myself a new lesson. There are better things to come. I have to stay focused on what is ahead. What I have done is great and represents milestones. This particular piece won't be able to be shown in my senior art show when I graduate college (for multiple reasons). I am a much better artist now than I was then, I am capable of a good deal more.

Art is meant to be enjoyed. Loved. Critiqued. That doesn't happen when it is sitting in my closet. The friend I gave it to, I know will respect it and show it off. She may even love it more than I do. It's all for the better. :)

Something I need to hear

Breathe.
Slow down.
Trust.
Don't rush.
Patience.
Let go.
Adventure.
Love.
Life.

He loves me and He's in control. All that matters is Him... despite what others do or say. I was made for relationship, relationship with the El Shaddai. Don't be afraid to let him be your all, there is nothing better.



"She is the crescendo, the final astonishing work of God. Woman. In one least flourish creation comes to a finish not with Adam, but with Eve. She is the Master’s finishing touch… His piece de resistance. She fills a place in the world nothing and no one else can fill… (Ladies) Look out across the earth and say to yourselves, “The whole, vast world is incomplete without me. Creation reached its zenith in me.”

And she, too, bears the image of God but in a way that only the feminine can speak. What can we learn from her? God wanted to reveal something about Himself, so he gave us Eve… Eve is created because things were not right without her. Something was not good. …Something is missing? What could it possibly be? Eve. Woman. Femininity. Wow. Talk about significance."
