This painting was inspired by a conversation I had with 2 of my dear friends a few weeks back. As we were talking, we realized each of us had been going through some pretty difficult events at the same time, yet we kept those challenges to ourselves thinking it wasn’t important enough to bother each other with. We all realized that if only we had turned to one other during this difficult time, maybe we could have improved each others situations. If Only. After I left I could not get those thoughts out of my head...”If only we had turned to each other.” The number one thing Satan wants us to believe is that we are alone. Nobody else understands what we’re going through. God must not care about us because why else would we be going through this? Let me say it right now. First: GOD LOVES YOU! Second: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You are surrounded by people who are there for you, who love you, who can help lift you. God, our Father, did not send us here to face life alone. He sent us here to help each other. So let’s turn to one another for love, for encouragement, for peace, comfort, hope, and help. — Kate Lee
