After a bunch of ideas and sketches that didn't seem right, my brain stumbled upon this idea. My own version of "when pigs fly" which everyone knows is an impossibility. What do you think?! These are some resourceful and creative hogs.....I don't know where they're going, but they're determined to get there!
Interesting topic this week...it's easy for creative people to imagine all the beautiful, visual impossible scenarios they could illustrate. It's much harder to face all of the things in real life that seem impossible. My heart is often troubled by the impossible things that I want to see happen. A loving family for every child. An end to world hunger and violence. This week it ocurred to me, what if it's not impossible? What if I can do something and do it now? If I could come up with as much creativity and determination (coupled with God's direction) as these flying pigs, maybe seeming impossibilities could become possibilities.
"Everything is possible for him who believes." Mark 9:23

ReplyDeleteCan I keep the piggy with the goggles? When I saw that you were going to do "impossible," my mind went blank. When I opened your page to see the determined little pigs, I knew instantly that you did it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWell done darling friend.
PS-Could you tell the piggies to come by my house :)
