My Process
The truth is simple. Letting go of control is the struggle. Painting leads me into this battle of pride verses humility and directs my conquest to seek truth and grow in my faith. I want to carry out my purpose, which God has predetermined. I have learned that the process of creating a meaningful body of work is more important than the finished product. Painting is the easy part. The struggle is attempting to understand how to use this gift to the fullest and to discover who I was created to be and what my purpose is. I can never see the finished painting before I start it. I do not know what tomorrow holds or the color of my next stroke, therefore, I fix my eyes on Christ and paint from the heart. I declare the words of Paul:
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me – the task to testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. Acts 20:24
