and i quote






























Lately i have been lacking drawing inspiration. ugh. I havent been drawing as much as i should. On a brighter note, i have recently made two sales in my Pretty Clementine shop. yes! Also, i think lately i havent been focusing mainly on drawing but more on my walk with God. Ive been rethinking things and trying to get myself back on track. What does that mean? Well, just praying more and finding out what my purpose is in life. I know i want to be someone great, not just great, but a great woman of God. Im looking forward to finding that out. The other day i decided to rearrange my room. worst.. idea.. ever. My back is still hurting and my room looks like it just threw up. *sad faced*. So i got a ton of cleaning to do, which is actually fine since ill be having a spot at our church flea market this Saturday. Anywho, while rearranging my room, i stumbled across a book i was reading 4-5 years ago. i seriously forgot all about it! So maybe rearranging my room wasnt such a bad idea? haha. Well, i found it in perfect timing because i have been (also) lacking inspiration in God. My spiritual life was emptying out. I wasnt feeling like i belong. The book i found is called "Twelve Extraordinary Women" and im so glad i bought it 4-5 years ago. It brought a smile to my face and all i thought of was *thank you Jesus*! The book talks about ladies from the bible and their dedication to God. How inspiring is that? It felt perfect, like, exactly what i needed. These ladies (and God) will give me the inspiration to draw near to him. im excited. So, that is basically my current read!

"Scripture never discounts the female intellect, downplays the talents and abilities of women, or discourages the right use of women's spiritual gifts. But whenever the Bible expressly talks about the marks of an excellent woman, the stress is always on femine virtue. The most significant women in Scripture were influential not because of their careers, but because of their character. The message these women collectively give is not about "gender equality"; its about true feminine excellence. And this is always exemplified in moral and spiritual qualities rather than by social standing, wealth, or physical appearance"

What have you been inspired by lately?



side note:
This is actually the lastest drawing i have done, which was a drawing for a friend. (i forgot to snap a shot after finishing the hair, haha).

































p.s. I want to do a little giveaway on my blog when i reach 25 followers. All 25 (or more?) will
automatically be in it and i will do a random drawing to see who wins the "package" i come up with (which includes my artwork and lots of fun stuff). We'll talk about this later :)
