Hello #10...Rosie Jon continued

(PHEW!  Made it!  Hello everyone, sorry for the delay...yesterday was very interesting to say the least.)

As women, we do an amazing job of comparing ourselves, our bodies, jobs, and interests.  We are constantly asking, am I good enough; when God is saying SURE YOU ARE!   The introduction to this blog states that we are people beautifully created.  Why wouldn’t we be enough?  My hope for moms everywhere is for them to realize they’re worth instead of the many titles they wear.  Stepping out on a new adventure is like jumping off a cliff but very exciting.  With that said, we continue our interview with inspirational artist Rosie Jon.

Of taking on a new adventure, such as, painting she says, “God is the best encourager.  We are the ones who are too afraid,”  Once she took the first step to do what she was called to do it was like letting go and having absolute trust in Him.  “We live in a world where everything is materialistic. The definition of beauty is distorted.”  She likes to work with mixed media.  Every time she paints it’s a new experience and she learns something new.  She finds inspiration for her subjects through visions she has.  On one painting she used little square mirrors for light.  She loves to create videos through painting and is interested in film making. 

It took her forever to even upload any video from her artistic endeavors to the internet.   She recalls sitting at the computer with her toe hovering over the enter button for hours, finally deciding to press the button.  When asked how she would encourage mothers to step out, she says, “Just like how we expect our children to fall into our hands when they’re in trouble we need to fall into His hands.  We need to let ourselves be covered up by God’s love.”  She also admits stepping out takes a lot of courage and it’s not easy.  She shares from her own experience to never look back in regret.

Can you imagine the trail she is leaving for her little people follow?   She says being a mom has been a really big learning experience about God’s love, unconditional love, and what it truly means to love one another.  “Nothing is perfect but to live your life.  Perfection doesn’t exist except through Christ.  There is a huge amount of blessing you experience through it (life).”   When asked if she and her husband plan on having more kids she stated they both want a big family but want to take their time.  Two busy boys are enough for now.   Have a wonderful day!
