Trust

It’s a funny thing to watch a flashing bar on a white page before words spill into meaning. Sometimes that bar flashes for such a long time, and other times my voice trails faster through a device’s microphone than the bar can keep up with. I’m pausing today…

After receiving a gift of pencils and sketch paper from my husband at Christmas, I somehow felt given permission to pursue something I love to do–create. There is risk, awe, beauty, joy, hope, and uncertainty in that process. There is a feeling that in the process of creating, the Creator is creating me. It can be exhilarating, but also a bit scary when it seems such new territory. But I am at the hands of a Creator that can be trusted. One who works masterpieces and miracles–who accomplishes work until it is perfected and can be claimed, “finished” or “it is very good!” And then, there is Rest. After 20 penciled designs, one website, one Facebook page, 75 boxes of cards, approx. 64 single packages, stamped gift bags, 15 written blessings and approx. 18 blog posts, 500 business cards, contacts with some local vendors, and a clean house since the 1st of January, I’m going to rest. It is not finished, it may not even be very good, but I trust in my Creator that His work in me will be carried out exactly as He plans and I will be in His hands the entire way. Blessings on your day, dear ones.
