Gazelle//Steps of the Righteous

I knew I wanted to draw a deer when I drew this piece. I had a very very challenging day and drawing was what I needed to help me focus on the positive. So I went and research. And this time instead of just picking a reindeer picture and starting there, I decided to find out what the exact kind of deer the bible was referring to. Well, it wasn’t deep research, but I concluded that a reindeer probably wasn’t the deer that was on a high hill.

Choosing Joy

There are many forms of joy. The joy of creating beauty, the joy of receiving a gift, the joy of expressing love.

But there is another kind of joy that if chosen, far outweighs it all. A joy that breaks through the hard ground, hopes in the darkness and sings in the chaos. This joy gives strength when there is not a fibre of your being left to hold on. It is a joy so deep and so fulfilling, because it stems from the very heart of God.
