Blooming

I went to an ArtWorship Workshop on Saturday at the C3Centre in Nunawading, and it was great.  Lots of artists, mostly female, painting spiritually meaningful pictures.  Admittedly, it was a bit intimidating to be surrounded by so many talented artists!  But at the same time, it really encouraged me to see God raising up people to use art in the context of their relationship with Him.  I just love being able to express something of God's heart to other people through art, but He also uses it to speak to me as well!

So here's my effort from Saturday, 'Blooming,' using oil pastels.  It speaks to me about the fruit of the healing work that God is doing in my life - the pain is worth the peace that follows.
