Everything, even sweeping, scraping vegetables, weeding a garden, and waiting on the sick could be a prayer if it were offered up to God. —St. Martin de Porres

Good morning! ☀️ Breakfast on the beach, anyone?
Swipe left to see another sketch time lapse. It’s of one of my favorite quotes from Jesus in the Gospels post-Resurrection, when he appeared to his apostles, gave them that miraculous catch yet again since they couldn’t catch anything, and cooked fish for them over a fire on the shore of Galilee.
I began doodling one night common breakfast foods to accompany this quote then realized: no, it should be fish and bread. Because when people see it I hope they ask — “fish and bread, for breakfast?” assuming this is a lot of people’s initial thought. The hope is to use this as an evangelism tool to share with families and friends another encounter the apostles had with the Risen Christ.
Fun fact and memory: In Filipino culture this meal is in fact common, I loved growing up eating fried fish but with rice instead for breakfast. 😋 so you can imagine my parents and I LOVIN’ on the fried fish we ate when we visited the Sea of Galilee.
Anyway I am still doing some final touches, and plan to make this a real print for you to use in your kitchen/dining room! SOON!

The shop + this account have been quiet lately (I’m typically journaling over on my personal account), simply due to the season of life we are in. This week’s project (a commissioned piece), however, was a much needed reminder of how much joy this creative outlet brings me, and I pray, to others as well. Anyway, I just wanted to hop on briefly to say thanks for sticking around despite my inactivity. I’m still out here with opened ears, listening out to what God may be asking of me with this. I’m also trying to be braver, more organized, and striving for “the more” with this medium. Again, thank you. 🌱
"Those who celebrate the sacrament say, 'I promise to be true to you, in joy and in sadness, in sickness and in health; I will love you and honour you all the days of my life.' At that moment, the couple does not know what will happen, nor what joys and pains await them. They are setting out, like Abraham, on a journey together. And that is what marriage is! Setting out and walking together, hand in hand, putting yourselves in the Lord’s powerful hands. Hand in hand, always and for the rest of your lives." —Pope Francis

I recently came across one of our engagement photos with this caption, and it was a much needed reminder. How different marriage is compared to engagement and courtship! Marriage is beautiful, and also filled with many crosses. Sometimes Jon keeps us moving onward, sometimes I do. The most important part however is that while remaining hand in hand, we are placing our marriage in God’s hands above all else. #livingoutthevows
