I had a bit of an identity crisis today in the Studio. And felt under attack.
2 Ladies came up to me and questioned the price of my art. One said i was crazy for selling at such a low price.
I started questioning myself. Thinking yeah they are right i should be selling my prints for more money.
But something within me (the holy spirit) was feeling troubled and i started to feel off.
This gifting is from God and i make Christian art.
I want my art to be accessible to others rather than charging £80 upwards.
I prayed and contacted my loving Sisters in Christ to pray for me.
I was starting to feel really down and not sure what i was doing. I was questioning my position and authority when i was so sure before of what i was doing.
This is what my sisters said -
My value isn't in what i create, its an expression of who i am. I don't need high prices to validate myself, I'm a blessing full of blessings to people.
That Jesus will give me the strength to stick tight to his best in this. And let it be an powerful opportunity to share my voice and heart to these women who were questioning my motives - because my motives are God.
I operate under the spiritual realm not the earthly one.
I am in the right place for where I'm supposed to be. God has got me and that all i need to be secure under the shadow of his wing knowing that he is pleased and proud of me.
You see where they thought that they were complimenting me, in fact it was taking me off track.
I know what my Father has said to me.
My prints are filled with the holy spirit and ready to bless people. I don't need to put a high price tag on that. I just need to be obedient to what i have heard.
I am not creating for the money. I have never created for the money. I do it because its who i am. Who i was created to be. This is the gifting i was given. Its a part of me.
I understand that in the printing world that people would expect to pay more.
But i am just starting out.
When i am further in my artist career then i will price accordingly. But as for now i am sticking what God is saying to me.
The enemy is out there to take you off your path. He comes to destroy.
But nothing can separate me for the love of God.
So I'm gong to go forward with a twinkle in my eye and a smile on my face, but with great and strong purpose in my heart.
