This graces the wall of my room, I’ve been working on it the last while. Dreaming it up for a week or two. Now it’s done.
I will see it every morning when I crawl out of bed, and every evening before I close my eyes to sleep. It will be my constant reminder that my God has chosen me to live right here, right now.
For a long time now dandelions have been important to me. 1. they remind me how short my time on earth is. 2. they are God’s way of showing me that He loves me.
The verse/phrase comes from Esther and from the many verses in Isaiah where God states that he has chosen us. Esther has been one my favorite Bible characters for a long time. Her courage, and her desire to do what God asked of her even if it cost her life, has inspired me over the years. She was alive for that exact purpose. To rescue God’s people, to be a living display of the glory of God. She risked everything to fulfill that purpose.
Now it’s our turn to live. God has a purpose, a plan for each of us. He has chosen right here, right now, for us to live. We have been chosen to be a living display of the glory and greatness of God. We are to leave pieces, reminders of Christ wherever we go, with whoever we encounter. We don’t have much time to live, a little puff of wind, and our life is over.
You have chosen.
Go.
Spread Christ’s love.
While you still have time.

My dearest friend Brittany...when I grow up, I'm going to hire you or snatch you or steal you away and you shall come to my house and you shall help me decorate it.
This is fabulous. I really, really, really like it and it is so awesome. So encouraging and yes, I wish I could wake up and see that every morning. Maybe you ought to sell prints of that thing.
I love your thoughts, I love your heart {the pureness of a love for God} and I love YOU!
Girl...I need to come see you. Or you need to come see me. Or we just need to see each other. I miss you tons and well...all in God's timing of course. =)
Love you lots, my friend! Keep it up...you're doing wonderful things.

sell prints of it. . . uhh, maybe not. :) It was SO SO SO much fun though. My cousin wants me to paint an 8x10 of it for her. . . maybe perhaps I would paint one for you too. It's fun and a bit of a de-stress-er for me. so. . . we shall see I guess. It's gonna be about as tricky as downsizing a collage though. :) You know all about that I'm sure. it's about 18x24 right now so yeah, here we go. I guess all that downsizing with collages was good for something right? lol.
YES YOU MUST COME SEE ME!!!! That would be GRAND. I would love to catch up again. I feel like I've lost touch with you so much and have no idea where you're at by now. Do you remember where we were a year ago??? Thinking about that freaks me out. I mean really, so much has happened, so much has changed. We're both a year older and wow, so much is different.
Miss you, my friend!!!
