It's been about a week and a half since the last time that I posted and things are moving along pretty smoothly. I am still getting adjusted to my new job working with young ladies, and my art outside of the mural that I have been working on with SquashSmarts has taken on a different meaning for right now.
Let's start with the mural.
I worked on the bulk of the largest wall of the mural last week. Since this is a project that I am working on with the students, I am getting the design down and the students are working on the painting part. I used a projector for most of the project after I came up with the design that the company was pleased with. It makes it easier and faster to get the project done. However, for this portion of the mural I needed to do things free-handed. And I would have to say I surprised myself! The space is huge and at an awkward angle. I had to stand on my tippy toes to get some of it taken care of.
I have one more week working with the students, and then they will be flying on their own. I believe that they can do things on their own and do it great! I will go back when they finish painting so that I report how it has come out here.
In other news, I have been revamping a few things. I saw a few movies in the last few weeks that have sparked some thoughts of mine. I am moving in the direction of having a non-profit youth arts center. I haven't talked about this much here, but it has been a dream of mine for some time. It ties into what I have been placed on this planet to do. I am super excited about it.
In order for me to get this project off the ground, I need to do some research of my very own. I need to obtain a place to house who I will ultimately call "my art kids". It's the funniest thing. I'm not quite sure how that is going to happen. I really don't. I don't have the funds at this point. I don't have a monetary backing option or grant at this point. I don't even have a laid out plan at this point.
What I do have though is a crazy faith that this is what God is leading me to do. I am well aware with this crazy faith that if God has given me this purpose that He is also able to bring it to pass. So I give the charge to Him. I don't know what that looks like and that isn't my concern at the moment. My concern is being available to make the moves that He needs me to make in order to make my purpose come alive.
What a journey....a journey that is so unpredictable, but sure!
