Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

it's the little things:: he loves me so

Lately, I've been sick, I've been pregnant (duh) and maybe just a little bit needy. I've been kind of amazed and not the least bit surprised at how well Chris has loved me and taken care of me over the past few weeks. My heart spills over with joy when I think of all the little ways he loves me so well.




... he makes sure there are a few breakfast glasses on the lower shelf because this shortie can't climb up on the cabinet to snag them anymore. 

... he brings me water in the morning before I even get up since he knows my throat has been hurting lately. 

... as my body is changing and I feel a bit hesitant about it at times, he assures me that I'm beautiful and always will be. 

... when I get a massive candy craving, he makes a date out of running to the mini mart for gummy colas and twix. 

... he assures me that everything will work out with where we'll be in the next few months and continually tells me things about Florida that I'll love. 

... when he makes a smoothie for himself in the morning, he saves some of it for me in the fridge so I can get some yummy nutrients first thing. 

... he spends time in the Word each day and meets with a mentor every week. I'm thankful that he spends the time and effort to grow in God and become a better husband, father, and man. 

... he acts ridiculously goofy, especially when I've had an especially hard day, just to cheer me up. And when that doesn't work, he just sits with me.

We don't always get along perfectly and we have our fair share of arguments but it's pretty amazing to see how God has put us together and how we've grown together over the past six years.
