I love art. Maybe not as much as Laura but I love it. Chris and I commissioned an artist to paint something for us. To be precise, a painting of our home in 50 years. It took her a few months but it's finished. She brought it to us yesterday.
When I saw it, I cried. It's a beautiful painting. So beautiful. It was very moving to me. I think because Chris and I worked so hard for so long and trusted God so deeply to provide. It took years for us to get the house. 7 years to be exact. We wanted a home that we could live in for the rest of our lives. A home to raise our children in, for our children to bring their children to, and so on. We were looking ahead. Long term plans. And here I was looking at an artistic rendering of it. A vision of a dream. Our dream. One of the biggest blessings we've ever received.
This painting is a testament to the goodness of God, who gives us good gifts even though we don't deserve anything but his wrath.
BTW, the artist's name is Hannah Foushee.

Sometimes its the story behind the painting that makes art so intriguing and masterful. I was moved by your painting's "story:" can't wait to see it.
Oh my goodness! I wanted the "da da da da da da da da" song on my playlist so bad, and I had no idea the name of the song or the artist!! I'm so glad you found it! Thanks! Love,love,love that weird song!
The artist says she hopes to be like you when she grows up- this makes her mom very happy
