How blessed am I that I get to spend time reading and drawing with these precious little ones? After Children's Story Time at LaFollette Public Library, I showed the kids how to draw a butterfly. (Some of them were amazing!) Then they colored my drawing. 🎨💜

The Narrative Art Award. The idea is to tell a story, without words, based on a prompt. This year's prompt is "Tell a story about something that turns out NOT to be a threat." Here is my submission:

Sometimes this life is so hard. We try our best, and fall flat on our faces. We follow our hearts into a pit of despair. We need to follow a guide instead of our hearts. We need a shepherd. #redletterawards #suicideawareness #bible #scripture #psalm23

Feeling burdened? Overwhelmed? or tired? Don't give up. Jesus extends an invitation to you & promises you rest. The rest He offers is not only physical or temporary. It's a deeper spiritual rest, a renewing & strengthening of your spirit, a peace that is above our struggles. Hang on & Come to Jesus.
