i don’t know how to hope when it feels like my life is going nowhere. i’m not saying i’m right. i just don’t know how.
i’ve tried not to worry about the economy, but it is hard not to when i feel like my dreams are dying with it. i probably can’t be a vagabond artist with the economy falling to pieces. when money is short, who will buy art? and crazy art at that?
on a more serious note, i think most people want to feel like their life matters. i know that technically my life is going somewhere. every day, i am further sanctified and get closer and closer to being perfect and whole, and will one day join in the beauty of unblemished eternity. but i want here and now to matter too. because right now is part of eternity. right now is part of sanctification. and right now matters to us, to others, and to the Lord.
i just feel like right now is aimless wandering for me. waiting for answers that will never come. and its really hard for me to see past what i feel.
Okay, so last week at the KIDS HOPE conference they had a guy come and do the entertainment and he plays spoons. That’s right, spoons!
He told us all at the end thanks for having him and that the Lord takes care of him all his days and that he supports his wife and 5 kids in Michigan (top unemployment state in America) going around doing this “playing spoons” routine.
If he can make it, you can make it. I actually said to someone at my table before his story, “Only in America can you feed your family playing spoons.”
But I hear ya and I love your crazy art!!!
