Artist Statement: "Lovely weather so far; I don't know how long it will last, but I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.”
Louisa May Alcott's words from “Little Women” resonate deeply with me as I navigate my own uncharted waters of raising four daughters. Through the ups and downs, joys and challenges, I've learned to appreciate the beauty of embracing each moment, even when the future remains uncertain. Motherhood has taught me patience and trust as I work to empower my daughters to chart their own course.
In life, as in motherhood, we can find strength in the assurance that the Lord prepares the way before us. Anchored in this belief, we can confidently face the storms that come our way and embrace them as opportunities for learning and growth. We are here not just to endure but to flourish. We were created to succeed.
