The LostSock Life: Illustrated Inspiration

Mercy Me, Rain

If you ask me what my FAVORITE thing to do is...

I will tell you that I love listening to my music and creating for my Creator.

This is how i imagine Heaven.

I see it as a place where we listen to the angels sing and work with a joyful heart for our Father.

Only in Heaven I will have a wider variety of colors on my palette.

I could sit for an eternity outside in pretty weather, listening to J.J. Heller, Mercy Me, or Kari Jobe.

Music drives me to inspiration. I linger on the words and let them settle into my spirit, then they leak through my fingers to my pencils and onto paper.

My wonderful Hubby, Shannon Seaton, passed away 4 months ago.

I have been going through stages of emotions like a roller coaster.

This past week has been the worst! I just feel so alone and useless and as though I have nothing to look forward to. Everyone keeps telling me, "Live in the Moment!", but my moment is lonely. So, that makes me lonelier. I work all day doing art with middle schoolers, come home to my two wonderful but needy little girls, looking forward to night time alone after I struggle to get them to bed... then sit in bed wishing I had a companion to talk to.

I have noticed if I am just sitting around idle worrying about my future and what I cannot control,

I fall in a deep pit of selfishness, insecurity, and fear.

God is lovingly keeping me in suspense of what my future holds, but I know it is going to be good.

I just have to wait on His perfect timing for my dreams.

But I can't stand sitting still! I need to move!

So, a great friend noticed me in a pit and told me that i really need to find something positive to do.

I told her about all of these cool inspirational posters on Pinterest that I look at to cheer up.

One of them said,

"Life is like riding a Bicycle. In order to keep your balance you must keep moving"
