Say won't you Say

painting~my escape and emotional outlet

This has been a weird, rough week kind of, and its only Wednesday! In the last three days both of my roomates have had emotional breakdowns, and I have had to be the strong one in both situations. I feel like the Lord has be pretty stable right now and I now see why that is. But when life seems heavy around me I can always find solitude and serenity when I paint. Lately I have been so inspired with my Art projects and classes, I go through way more dry spells with my art than inspirational times, so this has been very exciting for me. I'm starting become more confident in my artwork, and not in a conceited way, but just not as hard and critical on myself and my abilities, I am letting go a little bit and having way more fun with it in the process!

Since I left California, its been hard for me to see the beauty and art in things around me, but these last few days I've started seeing it again, and I honestly think its just because I've opened my eyes! I know what things stir my heart for the Lord, and while they were easier to attain while I was in California, He is the same amazing, beautiful God here in San Marcos, Texas that He is in Newport Beach California. Yes its going to be different, and it sure has been, but He is so good and consistent! My heart is in such a good place right now with Him. I love that He made me the ways that He did. I love that I am such a visual person, and I love to find the Beauty in things around me. I love that I am a girl, I wouldnt have it any other way! =) I love that I feel things so deeply, even if it hurts sometimes. I'm so glad He's not even close to being done with me, and I'm excited for Him to continue to mold me and make me into the daughter that He wants me to be. In the mean time........ I'll Keep painting
