A big explanation of this piece:
Every year there is a big Christianity in the Arts festival right near me called Karitos. They have workshops in the morning and a big service/presentation at night. Anyway, while I was dancing in the aisles this one guy was shouting out praises and he said something along the lines of, "Jesus just wants to touch your face." And of course, the light bulb went off as I saw a new picture of what I've been feeling for the past couple months and I had to go sit down and draw this for the next hour.

I'm seriously going to cry now.

For those of you who don't know, I'm moving to North Vancouver Canada in about four weeks to attend college to become an animator. Seeing how I live near Chicago Illinois, this has presented two big hurdles for me. The first Which I've finally leaped is making arrangements for living two thousand miles away at a college that doesn't have dorms. That alone has been a miracle that everything has worked out when I've had no control whatsoever. The other hurdle is the feeling that very soon I am going to be completely on my own and alone. Which honestly has me a bit scared and more sad because I'm on great terms with my family and have never had so many awesome friends. And so the feeling expressed in this piece is really me sharing all my personal fears and doubts with my Savior and knowing in the end that his love conquers all and he loves ME.

Crying now, tears of both sadness and joy.

I could say so much more about my life and this piece, but I know most don't like to read a novel when they view a picture and it's past time for me to go to bed.

For the glory of God! <3

i think i was meant to see this picture.
remember: everything happens for a reason and God plans every detail of your life. so going to this college it meant to happen and it will make you more of who you are. it's just another step in life

Agreed.

It doesn't make change less difficult though, just more bearable. But I'm glad the guy I'm relying on for all my fears and failures is God, who is capable of anything and won't ever let me down. ^^
