It was moving. It was awe-inspiring. It was filled with worship.
What's even better? The artist had never done anything like this before but her lone goal was to put her gift out there and trust God to do the rest. I'd say He answered her prayer.
But it wasn't just that she asked God to bless 'whatever'. This artist spent hours practicing, finding the right medium, praying over the story God would tell through these paintings, going over it with the weekend team, explaining her vision, adapting to requests/needs for the service, and so much more. It was the preparation of her craft and her spirit that led to one of the most moving moments I've experienced in recent memory.
I love the arts. What I love even more is an artist who recognizes where their gift came from and gives it back wholeheartedly for a purpose that is so much bigger than any art they could accomplish on their own.
