I painted this after being inspired by an earlier artwork of my sailor painting, “I’ve got this. Now lean back on me” – Jesus.
It took me, in my thoughts, to the reality that when we are in an impossible situation, like a huge storm, it’s easy to say we can’t handle it and call out to God for help. But when the storm passes and all is smooth sailing we take over the helm again and even forget the faithful One who rescued us. These paintings are to feature at a women’s conference I’m speaking at in August 2022. The conference theme is “Who‘s the captain of your ship?”.
