What's the Highest Calling

Would you believe it if I said that walking in your life's calling is as simple as how you live each day? Personal reflections from a 35 year old wife and mother of six daughters, having lived in a few different states, and even several years in South East Asia, the days quickly add up! I use to think a high calling was something BIG, and EPIC for God, but now I think it's in the quiet, unseen, and mundane everyday moments is really how we live out our callings.

For me my highest calling is being Christ's beloved, letting God's love for me soak into ever part of my identity. You wouldn't believe how hard it is for me to believe and receive the Father's love...I believe it so hard for others, but it's a challenge for me to see past my mistakes and shortcomings, believing God's mercy and unending love that never changes for me. When I push past me trying to fix me, or being my own savior--working harder, doing better, being an overcomer, I experience a security that isn't dependent on me or my performance. I can rest, and bring my best to others and really show who Jesus is, extending the same love I've received from Him. 

Painting is such an extension of that practice of receiving the Father's love. I'm compelled when I live into my calling of being the beloved of Christ to be free, to create, to be full of joyful expression! It's in the quiet, unseen seasons that seeds are planted. In due season you will reap a harvest! You can't reap a harvest without the preparation and the sewing of seeds. This platform, Wildflower Creative & Co, is the result of seeds sown in the quiet and unseen seasons of seemingly unending days, challenges, overwhelm, and watching God faithfully show up in inconceivable ways. 

I'm so glad you're here! My hope is that my art will inspire you and remind you of the joy God has for you, and His tender love toward you. He sees you in the season you are in right now and He is calling you to be His beloved. To extend His grace gift to you, you only need believe. 

With love,

Whitney
