Endearing Face of Fluff
God’s Painting
Strings of Joy
‘Peace,’ the Sea calls, ‘Peace.’
The Light Chose Me
I have been broken
Shattered,
shattered like a glass vase
That once held flowers, now wilted
Crumbling to nothing
I have been cut so deep
Like a double edged sword
Slicing through those cracked pieces
Pulverizing what little was left
I have been tricked
Convinced that lies were facts
They buried me, held me down
Trapped my wings, blocked the truth
Sunk me deeper into the ocean of darkness
But
It was there
With the broken, shattered, sliced pieces
In the midnight zone of lies
That the Light shone brightest
He was there all along
How come it took darkness
To make me aware
Of His unfailing love
I do not know
His mighty hands took
All my cracked parts
And bit by bit
Bound them
Together again
He mended me
Healed me
Replaced the lies with His Truths
Steadied my weary body
Placed me on solid ground
He was patient with my falls
Patient with my doubts and fears
Reassuring that there is life still
Eternal from the resurrection
He said that He died for me too
So I was once broken
Once shattered
Once cut so deep
Once drowning in the dark
But now, He made me new
I still struggle
I still stumble
But He always catches me
Never ceases His love for me
Clothes me in perfect peace
So till the day I meet Him
Till the race is completed
Till the final battle is won
I choose Him every moment, everyday
Because even in the dark, the Light chose me

What is your favorite thing about art?
My favorite thing about art is storytelling, to point everyone back to the Greatest Artist of them all–the One who paints the skies and perfectly designs us humans with incredible complexity, made in His glorious image. I am a storyteller to the core–through writing, art, photos, songs, and music, and I hope that all that I do glorifies the only One who enables me to do it.
