So I’ve fallen into a rut. Trying to art journal the lessons the Lord is teaching me, rather than letting art journaling be a vehicle for processing and listening.
So tonight, feeling down, I pulled out a Whole Living magazine and flipping through the pages the orange illustrations captured my attention so I started cutting them out, having absolutely no idea what I would do with them – especially with those fish, but they seemed somehow to fit…
Then I began playing with the pieces putting them together in different arrangements, talking with the Lord as I did so and it was amazing how this helped sort through my emotions and identify what was going on inside.
Here I am, feeling…
Like a fish out of water… trying to figure out what life should look like ~ and how to survive in this new environment.
Where do I belong? It’s all so different!
Lord, where is your place for me?
Why am I even here?
I didn’t hear answers, but there came peace.
As the picture came together, there was calm reassurance – just as the all knowing mighty God guides in helping me know and understand myself, so He knows the answers and in His time, He will pull it together into a beautiful whole.
What a lovely reminder.
Restful Heart
