I think that’s true.
While blog-surfing, I ran into a site where a friend of mine was posting a daily photo/quote mash-up. And I found another where a person was recording her thoughts as she read through the Bible.
These two projects gave me an idea for a project of my own: Daily drawing through the Bible.
I chose to pursue writing as my career, but art has always been a passion. And drawing is still my most authentic form of self-expression. So in effort to keep myself consistently in the Word, I started drawing each chapter of the Bible, one day at a time.
The cool thing is that trying to illustrate what I’m reading makes me read it more carefully than I otherwise would, and I get the chance to mediate on what I’ve read while I draw.
I started posting these drawings to a tumblr blog so I could share them, and I’ve generated a bit of a following. I love to see how the Word connects the family of God – even from all over the world.

Recently I’ve finished the book of Leviticus and have just started Numbers. I absolutely love that God led me to combine my two greatest passions – art and His Word.
