Drew this with pastels on Tuesday to capture a bit of what God has been teaching me about listening, how God is changing me as a listener, and what God is leading me toward…
A lot of it has to do with exploring my own heart with God. So, the flames, heart connectors going vertically. And then the connecting to other hearts is because I believe that as I listen more to my own heart and what is going on, I will be able to listen to others better as well. I will be able to hear with compassion. My heart will become a place of invitation to others. I need that connection. I need to ask/listen to others more, to ask for advice, to know what’s going on inside others. I want to connect with other hearts, not just for what I have to offer, but what I have to gain.
Around are odd shapes and colors. And a bunch of black. This represents the noise and distraction I am surrounded with, bombarded with. One thing I have learned for sure is that I must be selective and intentional to hear the right and important things. If these heart connections are what is important to me, then I have to make time and space.
These word don’t really capture all that is in that picture. But maybe just enough to give the idea.
From my heart.
That is a cool heart. Almost like an exploding heart. With 5 fingers.
But a cool heart nonetheless
