This drawing is another prayerful drawing related to myself. I have four beautiful daughters. And through the last year, I've really been in a season of winter with my two oldest.
I wanted to pray for my children, but they aren't believers yet, and I wasn't sure what He was telling me to draw. Then I remembered the tattoo on my ankle depicting Mark 4: 30-32 "30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
I began to draw my favorite songbirds, each representing the personalities of and ages of my children. I added snowy branches to represent our season of winter. And of course, this drawing had to be in color to represent the beauty within my girls.
I scanned the image and made it the cover of my Christmas cards for them, and inside the card I explained the traits of each bird that reminded me of them.
I made them each an ornament of their bird to remind them of my drawing and my love for them.
This drawing is now framed and hangs in my bedroom, with photos of my girls on either side of it.
I pray each day that God brings us through this winter season and into spring, where they will know and feel and accept my love for them.
