Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?

Why has thou forsaken me?
I pictured this differently
A family by now
It's all I ever wanted
We made plans
We had dreamt of how many and they're beautiful names
We've stayed faithful to thee and all that thou has asked
The years are starting to pass so quickly.. robbing Us of days we wanted just for our babies
Now we fall and pray for a miracle
Please, just one
To feel less than human
To live in a darkness that lets you know, hell is real
To have no words to describe any of it, to pretend your okay when you're not
Is to know, Infertility.
But I hope you know that one day you'll look back and see it all so clear.
I hope you see strength, and realize then that it was Christ because without him there was no way you could of made it
I hope you see love that blindly tried one more time and then 2000 more times after that
I hope you see the companionship of a husband and wife that lost all faith but kept walking forward together
I hope you look back and see Christ. I hope somehow you see, a beautiful Heart break. I hope You see all that broke but didn't break you. I hope you see all the beautiful ways you trusted Christ.. I hope you see it all so clear..
But today... And so many more moments from now.. I hope you feel them. They want you as much as you want them. They're so proud of You for holding on and holding fast to Jesus Christ and all You believe and know.
Heaven is real because that's where your babies are.
-Lacey

I testify that bad days come to an end,
That faith always triumphs,
And that heavenly promises are always kept.

Hello, I am Lacey Christenson. I am from the little town of Overton, NV. To this day, my Dad still lives in that little town in the same spot that I call my childhood home. Once upon a long time ago my home was the only home for miles around... nothing but desert hills and blue skies. We had farm animals and I began riding horses bareback alone at the small age of 3. I developed a love for Art from the second my Dad showed me how beautiful letters could look in cursive. My Dad had a shop that he would spend countless hours working in, from sewing upholstery to metal and wood work, engines and everything mechanical. It was like heaven for me. I would sit and watch his hands make the most beautiful things and I thought that was mind blowing; creating something from nothing, so flawlessly. 

From then on, a passion for the arts was instilled in me. I love sketching, writing, painting, and all things creative.

In 2009 I married my biggest childhood crush, Levi Christenson in the Manti Temple. Levi served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints church in the Rapid City, South Dakota Mission. Levi & I have been blessed with two little boys + two little girls. Our little family resides in Sanpete County, Ut. Being a wife and a Mother are the most sacred titles to me and what I hold above all other titles. Getting to do art while raising my children is a dream come true and my personal recipe for happiness... I couldn't be more thankful. In between baking, homework, household chores, and snuggles, I create. I hope you see and feel love from my pieces, I hope they spark something inside of you and mostly, I hope they bring an added warmth to your heart and home.
