Write What Matters

The last year flew by. I’m grateful on the one hand, and on the other hand I had an ache to do more. I wanted to write more, create more, share more.

This coming year, I can only hope to be able to accomplish a little bit of what I was lacking in this past year by sharing what is deeply important to me. I have a little voice, and not much in terms of charismatic personality. But, I hope that honesty and beauty might speak volumes where I lack. My hope is that radical truth and a ridiculous desire to share beauty might speak to some hearts. We all start out with good intentions, right? The ebb and flow of everyday takes us in all directions, and my own experience is that when I aim to do what the Lord has put on my heart…well all hell seems to break loose. It’s not that I lose interest, rather I get discouraged during the fight to bring things forward. An example of that would be that when I am working on things that the Lord has set on my heart, real opposition manifests. My laptop will stop responding, or programs will freeze up, or all manner of technical difficulties will arise. When I work on paintings…once I had my large painting of the Sacred Heart on my easel and out of nowhere it flew off the easel and crashed into a window. That sounds little extreme, but opposition is often extreme. All you have to do is turn on the news to witness that. But I have it in my heart to persevere. Even if it is with the tiniest steps.

Lets focus on truth, beauty and goodness. Come along with me <3
