God Speaks to Us In the Ways We Need to Hear

September 30, 2019 Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago a woman walked into my booth at a craft fair and bought this print. She told me she had not planned on buying anything at the show, let alone an art print! (ha!), but that my print entitled “Introvert” really spoke to her. She paid, and left. 

But then last week she found me at another show and told me the rest. She said God was speaking to her lately, telling her to raise her voice. She was someone that wrote out her thoughts and had been thinking about what God wanted for her life, and that’s when she spotted my print. She now has the print in her office to inspire her as she writes. 

I think God speaks to us in so many ways. We pray for answers, and He DOES answer, but sometimes it is difficult for us to hear him with all the “noise” of this world, like our well-meaning friends who give us suggestions, or social media, or our own doubts that seem to take up all our thoughts. 

God continues to try to speak to us in the ways we can hear him. There have been times when I have wondered where God was, and I pray and ask Him to show himself, and then suddenly I’ll see His influence in my life. It is as if He is telling me, “I’m right here. I’ve been here all along.”

Some people are naturals at making their voice heard. For others, it requires effort. This painting is for the thinkers, the Introverts, the ones who get their energy from quiet times, and a reminder that we need all voices.

The words say: “She was a thinker, introvert, wrote her thoughts out often…. but she knew: now was the time to raise her voice.”I made this print using acrylics, oils pastels, gelatos, lace, and other ephemera.

The Space Between Dreaming is a moving novel written with warmth and heart and which contains valuable wisdom. I loved that the work tackles difficult topics about childlessness, childhood trauma, and betrayal by friends with sensitivity. It tenderly captures the social and emotional toll of being childless. I loved the main characters and found them to be realistic and engaging. The work masterfully explores the themes of friendships and relationships, drawing important lessons that can be applied in real life. The inclusion of art and the process of painting also enhance the story. Cherie Burbach's unforgettable novel will resonate with readers for its applicable themes and compelling characters. Fans of women's novels will love it.

Cherie Burbach's writing is surprisingly vivid, this being her debut attempt. She can take you inside the character's mind within a span of words, all the things they're struggling with put bare before you. The prose isn't flowery, but gentle enough to nudge you into relating your traumas too, and heal as the characters do.

Loved learning more about art, and the community surrounding the people in the book. Couldn't wait for the next chapter and following the women in this story. I am hoping the author has a second book in mind, to continue the journey of Jane and Grace. I would recommend this to book clubs, so they could meet and discuss what they read and what they think will happen next.

A beautifully written story about the lives of two very interesting women who come together and form a life long bond. I love how this book is written. I found myself placed in the story like I was an innocent bystander watching each moment unfold and learning more about art than I ever thought possible. As the book ended, I found myself wanting more. My hope is that there is a 2nd book in the works so I can continue watching the friendships unfold and the lives of the main characters continue to grow!
