Art: God Given

15445_1279600355620_1398365821_30827815_494934_n Finished making some altered paint cans for Christmas gifts to find their way into.

I love to give handmade gifts at Christmas, so much work goes into them...and so much love.

The hard part?

I have 9 more of these babies to make!

But you know what? I feel like it's important to make people feel special. To promote my love for Jesus Christ brings me an understanding and a new found faith that is breathed right into my artwork.

After all, I have decided to use my art to Glorify HIM now, vs. seeking a nod of approval from others.

I make art because it helps me to feel. To understand. To seek. To find. To trust and to yearn for a private conversation between me and the man that loves me more than anyone else.

I love the guidance he gives me. For instance, I sit down and have no clue where art street is going to take me, and I usually end up with something that is a message meant only for me---and the person who's hands the artwork ends up in.

And isn't that really what art is all about? These private journeys that link us to others---strangers or friends--but both of us seem to be on the same path and choosing to understand a voice of something so powerful words cannot describe it.

Love that.

Love that the Lord blessed me with something that I cannot imagine never being a part of again. Much like my relationship with him. Solidified with hands that create a piece of art that always, always, always is much more fun in the process.

Who would trade that?
Certainly not me.

Until Tomorrow!
