Reminder for today and all my tomorrows.

A favorite from 2020. I’m excited to get some new art out in the next few weeks, but for now some oldie but goodies! 💛

Psalm 1:9 NLT

04/09/2023

For the past few years I've always posted this. It's because it is absolutely TRUE.

He is risen, the tomb is empty, Christ is victorious over death, and this changes e v e r y t h i n g .

A bridge has been built where there was none before, over a great chasm of sin and death that has separated us from God. A bridge we could never have built with good works and self-righteous acts. Rather, a bridge that God built towards us, out of His great love for us, with the sacrifice of His only son.

Hallelujah. This is our reality children of God! A reality that goes beyond today and steps into every moment of our lives. Happy Easter my friends!

A sweet reminder for your Wednesday. You have been, are right now, and will forever be loved with an unchanging never ending love. 💛

It is alway such a treat to have time to whip out the watercolor. After all these years it is still my favorite medium!

Every so often my heart needs the reminder of how powerful prayer can be. For the situation itself, my heart, and my relationship with the Creator.

Lately I've been working on being more honest in my prayers. Less wordy, beat around the bush type prayers replaced with raw and honest confessions. Calling out my feelings as they are, my doubt or lack of faith as it is, and the hurts and pains as realities. God already knows and I need not dress up my prayers as less than they are. Why put up a front?

How has that affected me? It feels amazing. Freeing. I feel real and seen.

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16

I made this sticker in 2021 for my "word of the year". I remember feeling tired of life seemingly just passing me by, being blown here and there. I wanted more meaning to my days and more purpose to my energy. I know this is a desire of many, I can tell since my last 4 orders had this sticker in it hehe.

Imagine what the world would be like if more of us lived like this. 💭

Just a reminder that though life can be chaotic and rocky at times, we live under the rule and reign of Jesus Christ. The course of our lives, human events, and current times are not out of His hands or scope. We live in times that seem so dark and contentious, but the Lord Jesus has not left His throne. Though we may not understand the hardships of our day, this side of heaven, we need not worry or wonder. It is for our good and His glory that we exist here and now.

For in him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28

At the end of 2022 we added a bunch of art prints to the shop!

Something special happened with this one but some background first:

My first time being a vendor ever was at this particular market last year. I offered so many different things, literally anything and everything I had made or could make. Individual stickers were a big hit along with ornaments. On the flip side, framed art prints did not do so well. So naturally, this year I bulked up on stickers and ornaments and only brought what frames I had hanging around.

On a whim, I decided to change out the artwork in the frames I had. At the moment it felt like a dumb decision because I was pressed for time and knew they probably coming back home with me anyway. My art prints are saved on my computer by year and month. I randomly picked a folder and printed out the 4 in there. One being this verse.

Fastforward. The market is in full swing, tons of people walking around. I was chatting with a customer when I noticed a woman standing a few feet from our table. She was tearing up. She walked over and asked me how much for this art print, eyes still full of tears. She said it had been a rough year but she experienced the words of this verse. God had provided in the mightiest of ways. What began as the worst year of her life ended up being one she never wanted to forget. This art print was going to serve as a reminder of His goodness.

It is an honor to know my artwork is up in her home for that reason.

"The contented heart is satisfied with the giver and is therefore freed from craving the next gift." - Paul David Tripp, New Morning Merices Devotional

I've heard many a sermon and read plenty of devotions on the topic of contentment. My heart always gets so convicted whenever it is delivered to me. I want it. I want the peace it brings. I want to be released from the captivity that comparison keeps me in. I want nothing to do with the effect that DIScontentedness has on my heart, my life, and my wallet.

And though fleeting, I've experienced exactly what this quote says. I have allowed my heart and mind to be SATISFIED in God and what He has so graciously given. Nothing more. Nothing less. It is so good. It feels amazing. It is fulfilling, satisfying and beautiful all at once.

But sitting here on the other side of those moments reminds me of how fractured our hearts can be. I am admittedly trying to wake up from a season of chasing, comparing, and wanting. I am grateful for a God who shakes me loose of this sin and gives me new beginnings. Time and time again. His grace and mercy is not exhaustible!

I desire to be on guard to protect myself from wandering down a path of filling our shelves, emptying our pockets, and finding joy and worth in things that don't last. I desire to be inside the fence of His provision and not outside of it where I must figure it out. That is the prayer of my heart!

"Creation was never designed to satisfy your heart." - Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies Devotional

--
Ever since I carved out time to think about what I want my life to look more like in 2023, the idea of contentment has come up several times. This morning, as I sat alone at our dining table in the middle of our home, surrounded by all that we own and have accumulated, I came to understand the idea of contentment like never before.

I sat there amongst the books I've bought, but not read, the plants I just *had* to take home, but have since shriveled up, and the must-have electronics that now sit shrouded in dust as I read the words: "[sin] causes us to look horizontally for what can only ever be found vertically".

I admit that as a human I go through seasons of wanting and wanting more. Seasons of trying to keep up with my neighbor. Buying and accumulating all in the name of happiness and fulfillment. Then like lightning from heaven my sin is struck by the word and concept of contentment.

Who have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Ps 73:25-26

How does living this out practically look like for me? Getting in control of my finances. Clearly defining needs and wants. Loving where I am, with what I have, right now. Knowing and believing that true fulfillment comes from God alone. Those are just a few to start with. How is your heart with contentment?

The new year always brings me many different emotions. Fleeting moments of excitement for me can quickly turn into heart racing anxiety. The prospect of new beginnings, fresh starts, and bright mornings can easily be replaced with head spinning uncertainty.

While I'd love to spend my time focusing on the positives, my flawed human heart tends to lean towards the fearful possibilities. Before 2022 ended the Lord placed Hebrews 13:8 on my heart. The end of the year always draws me to remember the good and the bad. I was reminded that through both, God has always been with me. The good came directly from Him and the bad was used by Him for my own good and His glory.

And with the uncertainty and unknown that a new year can bring, I cling to the fact that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He will never stop bringing good into my life and using the bad for growth. It is the scripture that I will use to bring peace to my heart when fear knocks at my door. I hope it does the same for you as well!
