DECEMBER
The calendar. Wow. Can I just say…WOW. It started off as a fun way to raise money for medical bills. It turned into a community when the Lord would not relent that the devotions would go with the paintings. It has been so fun and so encouraging to hear the different ways God has used this little 2023 calendar. In January of this year, I knew I wanted to try to create another calendar for 2024. So I started off strong with completing the January 2024 page a whole year in advance. Then life happened and I didn’t get February done like I planned. But for the next six months whenever I could steal little moments to paint I did so- sometimes with the calendar in mind and sometimes just for fun. Then summer came and I hit a wall. You might remember that July’s whale never got his devotional. So instead of Christmas in July, how about we have July in Christmas? This has been the hardest post to write. I have wrestled with what to say or not say. My prayer is that it encourages you.
