One of the definitions of the word art is "the creation of beautiful or significant things". Just like a master artist, the Lord Jesus creates beautiful and significant things in our lives when we give Him the time and space to work. I feel blessed to share what He is creating in my life with you.

52 Weeks Book Challenge
This week I read Finding Anna by Christine Schaub. This historical fiction novel opens during the Great Chicago fire and details the life of Horatio Gates Spafford who wrote the Hymn It Is Well With My Soul. The story details the ministry to the Chicago community the Spafford's had following the fire. Their paths cross with the legendary D. L. Moody and His work to spread the Gospel message. I would love to say this was an incredible uplifting book, however I found it melancholy and at times, depressing, which does set the stage for the great hymn that was to be birthed out of so much sadness. It was worth reading just be prepared to not be jumping with joy at every turn of the page.
