@Thérèse Judeana Here’s that oil pastel I mentioned earlier!

I love that you end with simple solidarity: “Somehow, I’m still standing. And so are you.” Sometimes that’s the only testimony we have, and it’s enough. Survival itself becomes praise. I’ve been reflecting lately on that same theme — not the absence of fire, but the presence of God within it — and how surrender often looks like standing when we thought we’d collapse. If it resonates, I’ve been writing into that space here: https://theeternalnowmm.substack.com/p/the-surrender?r=71z4jh

Yes, and that He is with us in in it and through it... that's the beautiful part. Thank you so much for stopping by. 🙏🏻

What a beautiful image. If it were hanging in a gallery (without the poetry to accompany it) my mind would title it depending on my current mood. Examples: "Defending her flock", "Crimson Raider", "Huntress of the Flames", "He left Her Alone", "Wrong Tool for the Task", "Reluctant Princess", "Awaiting Directions"...I could go on and on, or simply enjoy it as "Untitled". 🙂

Yes, there are many options for a title. I need to pray about it. I'm still undecided. Lol.
