Belonging

 

Belonging.

My friend, Michele, brought me this lovely

 little painting this week.

 We gathered for some Creative Haven time together.

Diane was here from Florida

 and joined Michele and I.

It was a book making day.

Using salvaged old book fronts 

and wallpaper we created junk journals.

We made signatures and then added them

 in with elastic cording.

Doodads, fibers and dangles finish them up.

Visual Faith team member Eve joined me

 on another day this week for studio time.

As I thought about this week and what happens

 when we are together,

I am so thankful that without 

saying a word- we know.

We belong here.

This Creative mission that is centered

 in pointing people to Jesus unites us.

The story of who we are

 and who we belong to-Jesus-

 is at the center of our community 

at Visual Faith® Ministry.

A prayer time echoed with grace

as we prayed for the health of a team member.

Vintage Grace Studio was named 

years and years ago.

But, it has certainly grown into the place of being...

the place of belonging.

And the door is always open for more friends. 

As we learn and share about these possibilities

 of inviting others in,

may the Lord bless every invitation.
