Funny that in my four years of higher art education, I hadn’t ever been asked to paint a mural. Since I’ve been in the Philippines, I’ve completed two! I never thought that I could find any use for such a useless “gift” of mine. I felt like I would rather turn things into gold with my midas touch or maybe find a cure to the common cold. Instead, God gave me a paintbrush and some pigment and said, “Go for it.” Dubious, I turned around and said, “Well, no one ever changed the world with a painting!” But the happiness and joy that I saw on the faces of people whose atmosphere I was beautifying is surely enough for me, and I trust that God will still continue to use me throughout the countries. I can’t wait!
