WCW: Mercy Chinwo

I made this beautiful portrait of Min. Mercy Chinwo back in 2020, and I just felt like bringing it back on this space again☺️

Thank you, ma’am, for yielding your vessel, and for blessing us with your gift. Keep radiating God's goodness (You do it so beautifully).

And today, I’m grateful for all our gospel artistes. What a gift to have them!❤️

...because I absolutely love😍
This is how you celebrate a huge feat: by sealing it into a piece of art

I've always heard that being the "salt of the earth" means we're supposed to add flavour to the world. It has always been the conclusion in Bible studies. But last night, a different perspective struck me...

When one is sick and weak, he's given a drip (N/S) containing salt. When he's vomiting and stooling, he's given ORS containing salt. Wounds are cleaned with a solution containing salt. Mouth gargles with salt solution prevents bacteria growth.
Salt even kills worms. I'm sure you've poured salt on an earthworm before.
I've also read that salt was largely used as a preservative in the olden days.

Maybe 'salt' referred to in the Bible wasn't just about us adding flavour to the world but healing the world.
Salt does have healing and cleansing properties...
Maybe the entire message was to be an antiseptic and a preservative rather than a seasoning.

You don't need to see the whole picture to trust the beauty of what is being painted.
Be kind to yourself as you figure it out. You are a work of art in progress, and the masterpiece unfolds one loving brushstroke at a time.

The version of you on the other side of this is waiting with open arms.
Keep going!

P.S. Another day in the life of a Nurse-Artist who is still obeying the clarion call🍂

Throwing back this beautiful portrait of The Golden Princess, Dr. Ada Ujaligwa, on her 50th birthday!

Happy birthday to you, ma.
One of the things she has actively been an advocate of is intentional parenting with her approach not based on perfection but on continuous learning and evolving to achieve a positive outcome, such as raising responsible children.

Most of her posts over the years have centered on raising emotionally stable children who are confident in themselves, who can hold their own, who can stand up for themselves, who will not tolerate disrespect, mistreatment or abuse, and who will be well-behaved and respectful.

May this season of your life bring you additional blessings, ma'am.
Cheers🥂🥂

What's that one thing that is common with every skill and handiwork?

A '𝙢𝙚𝙨𝙨'!

'Mess' in this context means anything far from the ideal and perfect product of what we intended; the exact representation.
We literally create 'mess' in the process of producing any work.

A noticeable feature of a 'mess' is that it usually leaves you discouraged and it always screams, "𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙥!" especially when it's not anticipated and when what is right before you is nothing close to what you envisioned
But the fact is that 'messes' are there in order to yield a perfect (relative) and a finished product of a thing. It may not look like the ideal when we're starting out but giving up is not the resolve; when it's all messy, when we no longer have the strength to continue, when all we can see is a placard that reads, "give up!"

Having the right attitude towards our 'messes' can help us continue from where we stopped and remind us why we started.
It may take just one more action of yours to get that stuff into its desired form. One more stroke to get that drawing done, one more stitch to have that desired cloth, one more block to get that building done with...

And how about when it appears that there are traces of what you call a 'mess' in your journey? That break, that threshing, that difficult process, that disappointment, that weighty matter...
Think of those 'messes' as the things needed to form the you that must be.
Sometimes, things need to break for light to come in.
Sometimes, 'messes' must happen in order to complete a thing.

Don't be afraid to create a mess.
And this is the conclusion of the matter: Don't give up yet!
