Hey guys! Something funny happened the other day and It made me really happy so I thought I should share!
Most of you either know that I’m the worst artist to walk the earth or have no idea. For those of you who have no idea, I’m the worst artist to walk the earth LOL! The funny part is that everyone on my team is so talented at art and making things, which is amazing for me because they always make me pretty things! Moral to this is that in the middle of what happened, I was surrounded by amazing artists. I have never been one that cares that my art is bad, in fact I actually love that it’s bad because of how much it makes others and I laugh.
Everyday at ministry we sit with the kids in the morning and color with them in these cute coloring books they have. The other day there was some random blank white paper and so one of the little girls drew this seagull looking head. I noticed she didn’t finish it and was confused cause she was doing a really good job. When I picked up the paper to look at it, she asked me to finish the drawing. I told her I was not the person to do that and I pointed to everyone else on the team, but she insisted I finished the drawing. I started drawing as my team and I laughed histarically at my work. I finished with it and this little boy wanted to color it for some reason, so he grabbed it and started coloring away. This little girl that was across from me was coloring in this cute coloring book and then randomly started crying. I asked her what was wrong and she pointed to the coloring book and told me she wanted one. I was so confused on why this little girl wanted this ugly picture, but to make her stop crying I drew this bird looking thing. When I finished, her face lit up as she grabbed it from me and started coloring. I have never had anyone ever be so happy to have my art and it makes my heart so happy.
In this moment, I realized that even though I’m not the best artist in the world there was someone out there that loved it. I feel like in this moment, the Lord was showing me that he loved my art and how even though I’m not the best, I do it anyways and make others smile in the process.
I want to encourage those of you who aren’t good at something to go out and do it anyways. I promise there is someone out there that will love whatever it is. Also, God has a funny and beautiful sense of humor and will always love watching you!
