I am clinging on to this verse after this weekend. This Saturday's show marked second 'art show' I have been to, and 4th public show period. Just to be honest about it we drove 2.5 hours, spent the night in a hotel, woke up at 5:00am Sat. morning and went to set up, all to sell 11.00 worth. I sold a small print and a magnet.... I really tried hard not to take it personally, but it was yet another let down in this whole process. I just hold on to the hope, and try to stomp any doubt, that God has a plan for me somewhere along this path.
On a more upbeat note, before I left for Athens I had told God that I wanted to hear his voice and do whatever he asked of me out of this weekend. When we were driving through Athens, we had to stop and fuel up for the trip. I saw a young girl coming out of the gas station and God immediately put it on my heart to offer her an art lesson. I nervously got out of the truck with one of my business cards and managed to stumble through some spill about my being an artist and asking her if she might be interested in a free lesson. So it felt good to know that He spoke, and I not only heard Him, but also got over my own fear and inhibition to be able to reach out. That's probably the only real significant thing that I recognized God use me to do, but maybe that is all that needed to be done.
Haven and I did have a great time Friday night. We were able to get to our hotel by 7-ish. We checked in, got settled in the room, and talked to some of the staff to find out where a good local eatery was. Thankfully there was a place within walking distance, because we had a hard time getting a place we thought would be a good parking spot, and didn't want to have to move the truck and possibly lose it. Over all it was a great night to get to spend with my husband. It was definitely worth the trip just to be able to have a night with him. Thanks for reading, Whitney Tomlin
