Surrender - Days 7, 8, 9, 10

Day 7 - I'm struggling with the soft pastels.  I'm struggling with time to create  the art.  I'm wrestling with the art medium.  There are some things in my own heart I'm wrestling with as well.  

Day 8 - I return to watercolors because I know how they move on the paper.  I'm behind so I enjoy the art without thinking much about the scripture.  Some days I show up with the art, every day I show up to the word and ask the Lord to work out the struggle in my heart.  My life is not my own, I cannot plan my own course.  But I know the God who can and does.

Day 9 - This piece is fun.  It reminds me of a year long journey with the Lord and creating lots of artwork around light.  I'm trusting the Lord, I'm searching for Him.  

Day 10 - I'm still behind.  It is really okay, the pressure is all in my own mind trying to do a piece of art a day.  That will not happen going forward.  Days are full preparing for something I have never done before.  But that is a story for another day.  I hope you enjoy these pieces.  I've enjoyed watching the watercolors flow on the page.  The Scriptures the last few days have been speaking to exactly where I am, seeking first His kingdom and righteousness.
