I'VE BEEN PUBLISHED | in artful blogging magazine.

well, it's definitely not every day you get to see your work PUBLISHED. I am so honored to be featured in Artful Blogging magazine's SPRING 2016 issue which was released just today! (you can buy your copy right >> here << it is such a thick magazine full of beautiful work from other bloggers as well. all the heart eyes.) 

last summer, while I was still blogging over at coming home, Artful Blogging contacted asking to feature my work in an upcoming issue. I wrote shared my heart a bit on blogging and documenting and they chose the photographs and today- the magazine is out. it's truly a crazy feeling to see your own photographs and words in a tangible magazine form. and this has been a push in my heart to keep creating and keep documenting, even when I don't feel creative or feel like I'm making something good. there is a purpose. I stumbled upon a few quotes from this book and while I haven't read it yet (it's one the top of my list now), this quote is gold. 

“The journey homewards. Coming home. That's what it's all about. The journey to the coming of the Kingdom. That's probably the chief difference between the Christian and the secular artist--the purpose of the work, be it story or music or painting, is to further the coming of the kingdom, to make us aware of our status as children of God, and to turn our feet toward home.”

― Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art
