This painting represents one of my first prayer and paints. As I was praying. I was shown a brick wall. The wall represented all the ways I was trying to protect myself. God was showing me that the wall was a false protection and needed to come down. As I trusted in the process, the wall started to break. In the breaking, I realized I was trying to hid, and in that hiding I could not heal. It was in the process of trusting and letting go, that I could find my place of healing and found hope. I allowed God in and trusted him with my heart. He broke down those brick walls and made my heart softer. He restored a new hope within me.
