"Leaving A Mark" is a collection that represents my sister and four of the friends who faithfully walked through our two-year adoption process alongside me and left an indelible mark. They saw and heard all the pain, mess, struggle, confusion, and longing, and they boldly believed when I couldn't, prayed when there was little to say, hoped and wished for our little guy as much as we did, and helped keep my eyes fixed on Jesus. Each painting is named for something that reminds me of them.

"Sea Glass" is named for a friend in my discipleship group. She LOVES sea glass. She loves the beautiful story behind it—beauty coming from something not so beautiful—and has loved collecting it for years. It actualy fits her so well. She LOVES seeing things be made beautiful before the Lord. It is her passion and life's work as a Bible teacher. And her humbel and bold devotion to the truth has served as an enormous example to me. As we walked through our wait to get our little guy, she always said the very right thing to return my eyes to the bigger picture and the larger plans the Lord was working! We all need friends with this kind of vision! I also love that we can swing from the deep things to the lighthearted and cry and laugh all in the span of a few minutes.
