Decluttering

Cleaning up the craft room..

Going through old works of art from my children's preschool years...

Tears come to my eyes as I reminisce

those sweet tender years

of babies becoming toddlers

toddlers moving on to preschool

expressing themselves through art

learning who they are.

How do I want them to remember me?

As someone who lives a sheltered life,

covering up who I am

just to keep the peace

while silently suffering inside

Or by being real. honest. even if it hurts.

really bad. even if it hurts us all.

Showing them what it means

to live as the people God created us to be.

Real. Whole. Complete in Him.

Unafraid to follow Him

and lead bold, adventurous lives.

To put their own original masterpiece out there

We are God's masterpiece.

Never hide it.

Never lose your art, children.

I love you.
