Faith Journey painting

The question I have been asked most through my discernment of my call to ministry is tell us about your faith journey...


There is a lot to tell, however, I thought it would be interesting to do a painting to represent my faith journey.


Step 1: the labyrinth path.
God's plan which one may not know but God does. A faithful and faith filled path.






Step 2 and 3: The wandering path I always thought I was on (before understanding God's path) and the tree with deep roots grounding and supporting me.






Step 4 and finishing touches: 
A few more details added...a cat (Penny) in the tree, a dog (Beau), branches: both healthy and growing and broken branches (loss, grief, betrayals, disappointments, and sadness).
Some broken branches are on the ground. Others have been placed into a fire.
The Holy Spirit at work. Prayers rise as smoke, lightens in color as it heads heavenward.
