Gospel-centric musings and creative while living ‘a thousand elsewhere’ until I can spend a day in His courtyard.
Hi friends,
I love working on all things creative in my tiny little in-home studio. I have been pursuing a professional design career for 10+ years and hand lettering/doodling for as long as I can remember. This journey "officially" started on November 27, 2015 on Instagram originally under the handle @thebiblesketched.
Many years and over 1000 little squares later, I continue to use Bible creative as my outlet to serve and dive in and spend time with God in His word. I continue to share it in hopes that maybe my honest musings and creative reflections on Christian life will help another fight a lukewarm faith.
Why A Thousand Elsewhere?
"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." — Psalm 84:10
This verse is a daily reminder that we are only here for a short time. Yet all the beauty and inexpressible joy we can find and experience in creation and through each other is just a foretaste of what's to come. It barely scratches the surface of what ONE day will be like with Him. Isn't that our main goal in life anyways? Our worth is not in our gender, our careers, our looks, number of followers, where we have travelled, or if we are married with 2.5 kids. Our worth is in our faith in Christ and His salvation for us, so we can be with Him one day.
With every product or post, I encourage you to refocus on the vertical and not the horizontal and to "Lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." — Hebrews 12:1b-2
Stick around and DV we’ll grow together!
