Ever since I was little, I have had this gift to do art. I never understood why God had given it to me, but all through my life, art has been a part of me. I remember people telling me that I had a natural talent, and I still hear that. Honestly, though, I have never felt that way. All the art I make that is actually good, I know comes from God giving me the ability to do it. (Galatians 2:20 came to my mind as I'm writing this.) If I'm not doing it for God, or if I'm not inspired, I'm really not good at all. The enemy used that against me, though, and told me lies about how I'm no good and that I should give up art completely. I began to believe the lies, and I had gone a long time without doing hardly any art. I actually started to go back to just coloring kids' pages and calling it “art practice.” But God had a different plan—He was NOT giving up on me. On 9-8-24, which was a Sunday, God spoke over me that it was time to take a step of faith and walk on the waters with Him, and to not focus on what is going on around me, but to keep my eyes on Him. After He spoke that over me, He gave me a vision, a dream, and a PURPOSE for my art. God began downloading a plan He had in store for me, and art was very much a part of His plan for my life! He showed me very clearly what He wanted me to do, and every step I needed to take was precise. Every word I heard took my breath away, and a passion for art came back to my heart. So here is my very first step to walking out His purpose for me! It's exciting, and I am so ready for this new journey and new beginning with my Abba!
