Merry Christmas, friends!

Well, I've made it home for the Christmas season. I have to say that I am looking forward to the rest and company while at home for a few weeks. This is also a great opportunity to catch up on editing and posting new pics for you all to enjoy. I'm not sure at this point what the next step is once the New Year is here. I'll take this time to spend in prayer and research different options. If it is the Lord's will that I continue on this adventure, then that is what I will do.

It's been an adventure, for sure. I've seen some incredible places and met some amazing people. The growth that I have experienced over these last four months will be with me forever. I have never felt closer to the Lord than I do now. It's clear to me now that God brought me out on this adventure to draw me closer to Him. Through all the long hours on the road and a different bed almost every night, I came to trust in His guidance and comfort. He was, and is, my one companion that never left my side. I'll never forget the overwhelming blanket of comfort and peace God provided when I felt lonely and fearful.

I'm excited to learn the next chapter the Lord has written for me. At this point, I am open to whatever He needs me to do. I seriously cannot thank you all enough for your continued support and encouragement throughout this adventure. As soon as I know what the next step is, you all will be the first people to know. Please continue to check in and see what's new. I still have several sets of photos from the road that will be posted soon. Also, coming soon to my website will be a link where you can purchase any prints you've seen on my website. Once again, I appreciate your forever support and love.

Just like you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother's womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
Ecclesiastes 11:5

I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
Psalm 116:1-2

Why do I do this?

My blog is an intimate connection to my experiences in life and some of my most vulnerable thoughts about where I'm at and what is happening that day. This is the place where I am able to express myself and process through moments in my life that are difficult, troublesome, and even incredible. Whether I am experiencing trial or peace, my blog is where I can express my perception of such and share with you as it's happening.

My goal is to be true, vulnerable, and transparent as I write each word on this page. Sometimes my words may be inspiring, confronting, challenging, and even encouraging. No matter what, they will be from my heart directly to each of you in love and truth.

To express completely how I feel about you taking the time to read this blog would fill the pages of many books, of which would take the rest of my life to produce. Therefore, I will simply say thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts, to understand my perspectives, and to support my art and passions that come to me through the complete and fulfilling grace of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him be the Glory forever, Amen!
