You always hear how God works in ways you can't imagine, but it is still so amazing seeing his work play out. I have realized that He has worked to make Pen & Willow a reality for longer than I know. This is the story of how I went from not knowing why I hadn't gotten my way, to getting something much better.
Back in winter 2019 I had applied to be a writer for a weekly devotional. I felt like it was something God was calling me to do, so when it didn't work out I was confused. I couldn't figure out why my plans fell through when I THOUGHT it was God's plan for me. So I wrote in my prayer journal about wanting to have a way to share Jesus and intertwine my passions.
Fast forward to spring 2020, I had the random opportunity to get an iPad (that I had been wanting) for a great deal! As soon as I got my iPad I dove into digital art and fell in LOVE! I soon discovered that I could intertwine my love for Jesus, business, writing, and digital art. Since then I have been creating what is not known as Pen & Willow.
Around Christmas 2020 I found my old prayer journal where I asked God for a way to share about Him through doing something I love. When I found this I realized that He said no to the writing opportunity because he had something so much better planned. I am so thankful that God had me wait, even when I had no clue what I was waiting for.
your rainbow is coming
