Being an artist can be hard, being a mama can be hard, being both at the same time all the while keeping your priorities straight can sometimes seem almost impossible. That is what this blog is here for, to encourage every mama out there (including myself along the way) that it is possible to pursue your passions even in the midst of all the busyness of life.
I love being a mom
Being a mama is one of the most rewarding things I have ever experienced. There are just no words for being my little girl’s hero when she bonks her head on the coffee table, or making her giggle at every peekaboo, or reading book after book after book, and not caring if you had each one memorized fifty readings ago because her little face lights up with every page, every single time. In my eyes, the role of mama is one of the most important ones in the world. I won’t give that up for any amount of money, celebration, or success.
The WHy of my life
Because at the end of the day, my God is not the god of this world. I serve a God who sent his only begotten son into the world that I might have life and have it more abundantly. I serve a God that gave me a little girl to take care of. I serve Jesus Christ, who did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, and was obedient, even unto death on a cross.
That is my model for life. Not to seek my own success or pleasure or rights, but to give them up and serve others. Motherhood has a lot of opportunities for that.
THe why of this blog
First and foremost this is a blog about serving the Lord with my whole life in all that He has for me to do. In motherhood, in my marriage, in my hobbies, and in everything in between. So whether you are an artist or a mama or both, or just someone who enjoys reading about those topics, I’m glad you’re here. Let us lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely, and let us run the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
This artist’s mama is very proud of her daughter’s new blog site! Looking forward to seeing all that transpires. Blessings! 🙂
