the other day i came across a kind-hearted woman who happened to be an artist that had some time ago quit her day job. during our conversation she inquired as to what it might be that interests me and after responding that art and photography are my passions, she encouraged me to pursue them.
she said it takes hard work. lots of research. but that God has gifted me with that ability and desires that i use it. hmmmmm.
all of this was very exciting to me as she pointed out that it seems i am having somewhat of a response to my art that i should pursue.
i want to change the world through art, but more than that, i want to impact the kingdom.
we all want significance, and i am no different.
i continue to wait for something to come along, seriously changing my patterns of spending as much less money is flowing my way these days. but i see no reason not to trust.
i have no job prospects at the moment, for they have all been confirmed a big fat no. but i do have hope. there is no question that as i continue to seek God’s will that something will come along that is precisely where i need to be.
and until then, i wait.
mostly, i am waiting for my break into the art world. whether through blogging, selling some stuff, etsy, a job having to do with art, or flickr, i’m hoping it comes along. as of now, i have sold 2 photos on etsy and i am in the process of changing things up, making my site better, and considering new lines and art works to add.
i’m trying to take this time to paint more, to learn more about photography, and to work on selling art, but i’m not too incredibly motivated.
pretty much, my life consists of waiting on everything. but i’m definitely okay with that. whew, never thought i’d say that.
whew is right, but YEAH!
