I typically don't share personal passages from the pages of my journals but I came across this last night and felt renewed after reading these words:
For the past two years I have vehemently been working to master three principles: faith, patience and humility. My faith was tested at every turn as we prepared for this show from a spiritual as well as financial standpoint. I have never been so broke in my life and at times broke down. In order for God to work his magic I had to wait for the right person to appear. Despite all obstacles I would encounter the only way I was to receive a blessing was first I had to work on my faith in him. I am learning as you wait on God keep believing and doing God’s work in the interim to allow doors to open. If you stop short and give up all of your work will go in vain and the discouragement you feel will turn your passion into doubt and fear. Patience will make you become resourceful and realize you must exhaust all possibilities before giving up. The key to unlocking patience is finding humility within yourself to ask for help. I’ve come to realize when we approach problems whether it be in the art world or real world typically we are wanting results based on the things we want. We desire these things before we have discussed with God what we are willing to do for him. How can God work with us when we aren’t willing to work for God? One thing I know for sure is that people are willing to buy into what you are selling if it is apart of doing God’s work.
After today God will be my CEO and number one art critic!- Rosie Lee
