I am creating a series of art and poems based on the words Jesus spoke to women. This poem is based on the account of Jesus’ words to a Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42. You can see a video of the art creation HERE or below. *updated from an earlier version on 5/11/23 I have always been headstrongoften in the the wrong directionleaving wreckand ruininside and out my bruised hearta well dug deepsoaks up shifting shadows,a turn of the mouth,the spaces...
I am creating a series of art and poems based on the words Jesus spoke to women. This poem is based on the account of Jesus’ words to a woman with a curved spine found in Luke 13:10-13. He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day. Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up. When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said...
My business has changed a lot over the last 10 years! I started off making cute animal prints for nursery decor on Etsy. In 2015, I started writing this blog and created my first Bible verse printable. I was looking for Bible coloring pages to do with my kids, and I couldn’t find what I was looking for. That led to creating my printable Bible verse cards and coloring pages. In 2018, I started exploring watercolor, and that led...
“God, how are you going to do this?” I felt like I have faced the impossible this year and seen God move in miraculous ways. Yet even now, there are situations big and small that seem impossible. I can’t control them. I can’t fix them. A while ago, I was reading through Luke and noticed the two passages below right next to each other in the account of the events before Jesus’ birth (I am highlighting the parts that...
I was so honored to get to display my art in TWO local shows. One was at The Church of the Incarnation here in Harrisonburg. They have an entire Arts Incarnate program dedicated to platforming local artists and celebrating the arts with monthly art shows and musical and dance performances. My First Friday opening was shared with a local basket weaver and a performance by a local band. It was so fun! I am displaying the large landscapes and...
I don’t know what you’re going through. I don’t know what hopes have been dashed in your heart. I don’t know how desperate and confused you may feel. I don’t know how thin is the hope you’re clinging to or how obscured your view of God has become. Maybe you have forgotten what it feels like to experience peace. Maybe the tide always seems too high. And I’m so sorry. But I am confident of a few things for...
I was having trouble focusing. I was worn out, feeling desperate. So last weekend I booked a hotel room and took myself on a retreat to the town of Winchester, VA, about an hour from here. I explored local thrift stores, watched some movies, and tried some small local restaurants (this Peruvian chicken place was the absolute best). I needed quiet. I needed rest. I needed to hear from the Lord. Does anyone else have a hard time admitting,...
I was talking with a friend yesterday who is walking through some very hard things. I said, “I’ve always wondered how people survived things like pandemics and wars and, well, I guess now we know. You just keep living one day at a time.” Here are some pictures from January and February of living life in the middle of the hard. I hope they bring some joy! Sometimes we like the snow; sometimes we don’t. My son created this...
