A
friend of mine, Andrea, who formally worked at the Laguna
Museum of Art, while answering my ambiguous questions, far
back in the beginning year of this Project, thought it would
be interesting if I kept a journal with regard to Project
development. It seemed like a good idea, if for nothing
else but to document the progress - or lack there of.. but
of course, I jotted down a few memoirs, and for the next
few years, that was that...
As
this Online arm of the Freedom ART Project was being established,
the idea of a journal was revisited, but with a different
end in mind than to merely document progress of the painting
project.
I
have come to view my painting work as a calling to which
I have dedicated myself. This web site, however, has evolved
into a site about Faith. I have taken the two elements and
put them together, documenting the progress of my faith
in God with the progress of my calling; the Project paintings.
More importantly, the site will hopefully chronicle God's
Faithfulness in His Biblical promises, exampled by my life
and His grace with me, His blessings, His justice - the
good and the bad.
Through
this writing, I hope to humanize and free the Project from
heroic contentions, and, to involve others in sharing their
stories of Faith and Faithfulness; especially those who
have received callings of one sort or another. Together,
I believe, we can create a community of shared faith, strengthening
one another in this journey of growth in the Spirit of God.
So
if anyone happens to read this, let me know. If not, then
this is just for you , Andrea.
