Mary Englebreit is a St. Louis artist. She has been my favorite for more than three decades. I discovered her before Chase was born through my friend, Karen Smith.
Her art resonates with my soul on so many levels. She loves all of the colors. She uses favorite quotes on all of her art. She raised two boys and "gets it". She loves the girly thing, too. If you appreciate a little sarcasm, you might get that, too.
"Your Life. No Longer an Option."
The image here has been one of my favorites. It is a reminder that life is full of choices. We make some of them. Others are made for us. We have to adjust to Plan B, Plan C, and so on. Own it. Embrace it. Grieve when you must, because life is full of hard things, but press on.
We cannot change the wind, but we can harness the winds of change.
Even in the storms of life, His Hand is real. There is a bigger plan than mine. His is much more important. "That all might be saved" is a big number. Each one in the vast sea of "all" must decide for themselves.
For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. -2 Timothy 1:9
From the beginning of time is a long time! His plan is about the long game. There are wins and losses along the way, but He is always faithful.
Stay the course. Embrace the changes in the winds. Trust His hand in the plan.
I am grateful for a plan.
