Creativity is a big part of who I am. I can't go too many days without making something. When I do, I feel a bit disconnected. With all that said, can I be honest for a second? I am not always okay with my creative process.

It's been one of those weeks where I've found myself questioning my every move. Should I keep pressing forward? Am I doing what God wants me to do? Am I on the right path?  Oftentimes, these questions begin to overtake my mind when change is on the horizon. I don't mind change, but I would be lying if I said that it wasn't uncomfortable and sometimes terrifying. But even when I am in emotional distress, God always shows up.  This time was no different. The Persevere kit from Illustrated Faith came to my mailbox at just the right moment.  I am usually surprised by the monthly theme so when I read theme on the envelope, I knew it was a word for me--persevere. 

The "I Am" kit calls for me to dig deeper. It's helping me to name my distractions. It's helping me to remember who I am and WHOSE I am. 

I am intentionally joining the Illustrated Faith community. It's not the IRL community that I am used to, but it is perfect for the season that I am in now.  It allows me to work through the 14 day devotionals and share my understanding with a community of artists who appreciate the Word.
