power is out, so that means we get donuts and coffee when we finish the run. idk, i don’t make the rules. and yeah, unfortunately my face is ugly whether im just hanging out or 4 miles into pushing two hooligans in the stroller.
again, i’m not in charge.

can you find me?

this song has proven very dear to me. i find it to be a message about hope when things seem beyond saving. i gravitated specifically to the line “he’s tried his hand at drowning me, but i’m still on fire, at least i’m pretty sure.”

at least i’m pretty sure. i don’t know the intended meaning of these words, but for me i hear them as i want to believe, help my unbelief. i’ve found myself grasping at hope, trying to hold onto anything to keep my faith. i’m sure many relate.

the anxiety that comes with the religious folk around you saying “don’t just go through the motions, you need to come with a worshipful heart”, while internally you know ‘going through the motions’ is one of the only thing keeping you this side of the grass, is a very hard thing to wrestle.

i used to get so defeated hearing from the pulpit to take a “leap of faith”, when often, i was just being called to small steps in a faithful direction.

this tattoo represents the apprehension and uncertainty i feel in remaining faithful. the hope that the sun will rise, tomorrow is new, and this “feeling” isn’t permanent. we press on, running, walking, crawling, no matter the set backs. and we suffer alongside others, because we were shown that by Jesus and because this race is long and community is crucial.

thank you for taking this drawing and turning it into something worth permanence.
thank you for writing this.

stay alive, push on through.

christmas tree roadtrip.
this year at halloween, we decided we’d start making season based art for our tv. this is the winter/christmas themed one. very proud with how it came out, made it on my ipad in , and between the halloween image and this one, i have +18 hours on the canvas. a couple slides in, you’ll see a video that takes roughly 11 hours of work into about 8 seconds, so that makes ya feel good lol.
