Just Breathe

This evening at 5pm marks the beginning of a new and exciting change in our lives. It has been in the works over the last month, but today it becomes public in a very big way. I'm nervous, have butterflies in my stomach, and hope that everything goes well.

I'll have to wait to post it here (which is silly because only 4 people read this!), but as it is now only an hour away there was something in me that needed to just verbalize...I'm nervous! I know I'm not very eloquent with my writing like some I know or even some of those in blog land that I read, but this is my feeble attempt to express my tumultuous emotions.

In my life I am used to baby steps, but it seems today I am jumping off a cliff where there is officially no going back. I'll just have to plunge right in...

I pray that I can walk forward in confidence and courage knowing that God has shaped me, molded me, and prepared me for this day, this task, and this new adventure before me. I hope that I can do it with integrity, humility, and a whole lot of creativity thrown in! Right now if feels to big, more than I am capable of, but I sigh...rest in the peace that passes all understanding...and just breathe.

God never puts before us a task we cannot handle and with that, I trust in His sovereignty and His purpose for my life and our future. But above all, God I thank you for the blessing of this new season and the confirmation it brings to me as a person, an artist, and someone who longs to serve You in whatever place or capacity You put me. You sure are full of surprises!!


p.s I know the picture is random, but beauty speaks peace to my heart and that is what I need right now!
