During February and March, I’m featuring artist-friends who bring light to my life.
I met Belinda while living in Missouri. She is around five feet tall while I am six feet tall. What is wonderful about our friendship is that we have a foot of difference between our sizes but no difference in our hearts! In fact, her heart might be bigger than mine.
She is unlimited in how she expresses herself and her love for God, for others and for life. She surrounds herself with the holy, even making a labyrinth in her yard. Every corner of her home shows a treasure she has made or found, whether it’s a painted gourd she grew or a piece she crocheted. When you enter her house, it smells of fresh scones and she is quick to offer a cup of tea (perfect for me!).
What brings light into your life?
It spoke to me of the front being the “front” side that the world sees, but God sees both the front and back. The beauty of the finished side and the hard work of the back side that is unseen.
The front
Yowza — that’s powerful. What first struck was the innnnnnsane amount of work that went into stitching such a grand piece, but then the words that accompany are …….…. wow. P o w e r f u l .
I always enjoy your words in your posts, but these “guest features” have been really wonderful, too. You have some very talented and godly friends! No surprise ….. talented & godly attracts talented & godly.
Happy healing!
