It isn’t easy.
This putting yourself out there for the world to see.
The sharing of the inner self with all of its brokenness and scars.
But there is something beautiful in being willing to be authentic and sharing life’s experiences. The ups and downs and around and arounds.
It is not easy. Life is not always pretty, wrapped up in shiny paper with a flowing bow to match. It’s real and raw and it spills out of us in words and thoughts all jumbled. But in transparency there is power.
I know because you’ve told me. You’ve shared how words shared are speaking to your life. And all because one person is willing.
What about you? Are you willing to step outside of your comfort zone, that place that feels safe but really isn’t? Are you willing to do something brave, something that might not work…but then again, it might?
Today let’s be brave and live as God created us – as artists! Our lives, placed in his hands. The Creator molding the created, transforming lives.
“If you are willing to do something that might not work,
you’re closer to being an artist.”
Seth Godin

It’s March, that time of the year when nature can’t decide whether or not it’s winter or spring. It’s a time of transition and of promise of beautiful things to come. Here in my little corner of the online world, it’s also a time of transition.
In the next few weeks you will see changes to the look and feel as well as the name of the site. The content will be the same but the “clothes” will be different. I’m excited about what’s to come!
It’ll be a bit of a whirlwind few weeks, with my son having surgery on Tuesday, March 11th to remove his tonsils and adenoids to help his breathing and the warning from his doctor of two weeks of challenging recovery for the little guy.
Will you please pray for for my little man to recover quickly from the cold & cough he’s developed {he needs to be well or the surgery will be canceled}, for a rested and steady-handed doctor, and for Sekaiah to drink plenty of fluids so recovery is as smooth as possible?
Thank you for covering us in prayer this next week!
