I have a piece marinating in my head that's not quite ready for imperfect prose this week. Instead, I'd like to introduce you to a young artist friend of mine. (I know, I'm probably cheating, so I ask your kind grace this week.)
Sarah Louise loves art and loves Jesus and sometimes wears a tiara when she needs to feel brave. I met her through my daughter when they were friends together in high school youth group. Since then, I've gotten to know her and love her so much that I've stolen her from my daughter and, in the words of Napolean Dynamite:
We're pretty much best friends by now.
Her illustration was chosen as the cover design for a chemistry book which was published recently. (Link to the illustration is here.) I am so enormously proud of her and her talent that I told her I was going to blog about her today. Trust me, if you knew the degree of fear and loathing I feel toward the sciences in general and chemistry in particular, you'd understand that it's a pretty big deal for me to devote a blog post to a chemistry book.I am excited to see, in the years ahead, how God uses Sarah Louise and her gifts to restore beauty in this broken, fallen world. Friends, won't you stop by her blog, introduce yourselves, encourage her, and welcome her to the imperfect prose on thursdays community?
