A few days this week, I've had triggers come up that left me feeling overwhelmed and ungrounded. I find this to be the case when I focus too much on concerns in the world and step into the comparison of my life to others.
I am then left, in these moments, with concern over where I am at in life, how I am raising my children, and all the choices I've made that I've prayed over and felt peace in previously.
As I sat down to work on a new piece this week, the parable of the wheat and the tares came to my mind. I went with it, but I realised as I was painting that the inspiration was not simply for the piece; it was grounding me with the remembrance that no matter what anyone else's path looks like here on Earth, no matter what messages surround me, I am taken care of as I follow my Saviour and continue to pray to my Heavenly Parents for guidance.
Life is just so hard sometimes, but there is no greater peace and safety than in the knowledge of that truth.
Also, anyone else ready for Autumn, because I feel like my desire for it is present in this piece aside from all of that, too
