LOOK AT ALL OF THESE!!!!!
And this isn't even near all of them 🙂 I have delivered some and so many more orders yet to be filled!!
My "Creativity Cause" Facebook page has been a complete success
Words cannot describe how thankful I am for the God's provision! I never thought that this would take off the way it has!
Last night I stayed up until 5 a.m. painting away trying to get as many done as I could before Thanksgiving Break and Christmas Break
So needless to say. . .I am tired.
But at the same time I feel so lucky to have all of the orders I have had and I love doing it!
Staying up so late gives me time to think, of course after all my roommates have gone to bed ,and I'm the only one left up and the Wii/Netflix won't work so I'm just sitting there chillin' and paintin' away. Who needs sleep??? Not me!
For the first time in a long time I kind of felt like I had something right. Like I was really beginning to see how God is working this all together. I guess that happens when you come to a point in your life where you really do give everything to Him. You put youerself in an uncertain, unstable situation and just trust Him. And you grow closer to Him.
I realized that . . .if I had no artistic ability at all. . I wouldn't have the amount I have raised so far from these paintings. If I didn't have all of the wonderful friends and family in my life to support me and help me and encourage me. . .I wouldn't have what I have. . .Heck I probably would even be THINKING about going on the World Race, If I didn't go to an ALL GIRLS school where everyone would love a cute painting for Christmas. . .I probably wouldn't have half the orders I have!!! Everything that has gotten me to this point is because of Him. Every last bit of it He gave to me. And for the first time in a while I felt like I was using the things he gave me for the right reason. SO many times I take it all for granted and I use them for my own selfish desires. But finally feeling like my abilities, desires, and relationships were being used to glorify him is so. . wonderful and humbling.
Nothing can describe the JOY Christ gives. There's nothing like it and I only hope that as I get ready to go around the world for 11 months I keep that JOY in my heart and I outwardly show it to others however they need it and spread it all over!!!
Thank you also, though to EVERYONE who has been praying for me, messaging me, and ordering paintings. Who knew something so simple could be used to do something SO BIG! I really don't know what I would do without you all and I am excited to share this with you 🙂
HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!!
