Do you ever find yourself saying "I'm too busy to spend time with God"  or "I have kids and no time to pursue my passion"  "I just can't do it all."  This episode shares a unique perspective on this. Amy Kirk is an artist with a thriving business, a kindergarten teacher and a mother of seven. (Yup, all at the same time!) And my interview with her was just a delight! She’s sharing how she makes space for her creativity and how she partners with God to use her art as a form of prayer. She’s also sharing how she grew her following on Instagram and finds purpose and joy in each season—even the long ones that feel like a whole lot of waiting. I loved the tenderness of Amy’s story, and I know that it will encourage you to find freedom and purpose in who you were made to be.
