Do you ever feel like “one of these things is not like the other” is your mantra?
Well, that’s often how I’ve felt, especially in my family and circle of friends, until God opened my eyes to see the why behind the what of how I feel and think and function through an unexpected experience. I had the opportunity to accompany my husband to a dinner and lecture at his work, and honestly, went along to keep him company. I knew of the speaker, and was intrigued by his role as an artist and professor at a Christian college.
What I didn’t anticipate was discovering that this man would make sense of my whole life.
As he spoke about the power of habit and the meaning behind work, while describing the ways in which he sees the world as an artist and the purpose behind his work as a creative soul and tireless teacher . . . I had to hold back from expressing a few “amens” a loud. The tears welled up in my eyes, as I heard this man articulate the way he sees life and realized I found “my people” again.
I am still an artist.
I can’t help but see the world, and all the objects and people before me, with a creative energy and sense of purpose.
Join me at Mothers of Daughters, where I unpack what I discovered and offer you a roadmap for embracing the way God designed you and your children.
