Psalm 91:11
“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”

God,
Thank You for protecting me — even in moments I didn’t see it coming.

Help me to stay rooted in my heart,
where Your love lives❤️

Guide me away from fear and back into peace.

And remind me that I am always covered,
always protected,
and never alone.

In Jesus Name, Amen🙏

You never, never, never let me go
You said You wouldn't leave me, and You won't
You're right by my side

“Guardian Angel”

“You go before me, behind me, beside me…” — a reminder that even in the moment I felt alone… I was already covered

🌼 Where It All Began

This was my second piece…
but the first where everything began to carry meaning.

My first piece, Flowers in the Valley, came from one of the hardest seasons of my life —
coming out of deep depression after being pushed out of corporate,
and walking through repentence.

At the time, I didn’t understand what God was doing.

I was just trying to make it through.

But looking back now…
I can see it clearly.

This is where He started the lessons❤️

Not all at once…
but gently, patiently…
through moments I didn’t even recognize at the time.

The Moment That Changed Everything

It was getting dark, and I had stayed out on my walk longer than I should have.

I decided to go for a night walk to see the fulll 🌕… something I wouldn’t normally do.

As I left the trail, there was a truck parked along the road.
I walked around it…

…and walked straight into a pack of javelinas🐗

Before I even had time to process what was happening,
the papa began charging me — protecting his babies🚨

All I could do was scream at them to get away.

And then… out of nowhere…

a young man appeared.

No shirt.
Long, flowing, dark curly hair.
Riding an electric scooter.

He came directly between me and the javelinas —
as if he had been sent in that exact moment☝️

He heard my cry out for help.
He stepped in.
He protected me.

And just as quickly as he appeared…
he was gone💨

I barely had time to thank him.

💛 What I Realized

That moment stayed with me.

Because deep down…

I knew…

That wasn’t random.

That was God’s protection.

And that’s when everything began to shift.

🧵 Where the Symbols Began

This was the first piece where God began teaching me
through symbols, details, and meaning🙌

Not just what happened…

but what it represented.

This is where the art became more than expression.

It became revelation.

🧵 The Cord of Hope Connection

At the center of this piece is the Cord of Hope

A reminder that there are only 18 inches between your head and your heart
but it can be the hardest distance to travel.

The heart ❤️ is where Love lives.
It’s where God is.

But the world pulls you into your head —
into fear and doubt.

And I’ve learned:

You cannot have faith and hold onto fear at the same time.

To stay in your heart is a daily choice —
one that requires you to gently retrain your mind
and return to your heart❤️

Trust. Believe. Surrender.

💛 The Message:

Stay in your heart.

Not your head.

Because when you stay in love…
you build a foundation of peace ☮️

And when you have peace…
you have HOPE💝

✝️ The Three Hearts❤️

At the base of the cord are three hearts:

The Father.
The Son.
The Holy Spirit.

Always present.
Always connected.
Always guiding.

💛 Symbolism Within the Piece
