Happenings in art and soul


Hey guys,
It feels like it has been forever since I posted...which it has. Man, oh man, did I forget how hard it was to have a blog!
HEart by CC has been so busy that I have hardly gotten a chance to really enjoy the new year. Sales are up and people are sharing HEart with their friends. I feel like I am starting to reach people that I normally wouldn't in my everyday life. It's a really exciting time for me and I just want to say thank you to all of you that share HEart and send people my way. 
What's new at HEart?
Check out a few of the new necklaces that are coming out in March! If you are interested in getting them before the are listed in the shop I am doing a pre sale on Instagram and there's free shipping! @heart_by_cc otherwise you'll be able to find them all around the middle of March in my shop!

I've been painting a lot lately. I have fallen head over heels in love with watercolors on canvas.
And even more in love with tiny art...
Art life has been blooming, growing and changing in 2014. I'm happy about how far its come and excited about where its going. 

But my soul well,  in my soul life I have been struggling. Struggling to manage my life and my responsibilities with the dreaming and wanderlust my heart feels. The last few weeks I have really been feeling lost. God's been quiet. Or should I really say that I felt God say "You need to do what I've asked you to do and come back to me when you start moving your feet" Needless to say God never left but I started to feel like walking away. Kind of like a 5 year old child when their told they can't do something and so they go to ask the other parent. Only God is the only one and I stomped my feet down the hallway to my room and decided I wasn't going to talk to him again until he decided my way was better.
I am not willing to always move in the direction He wants me too. I think people call it "full surrender" and since I struggle to surrender any part of my life I struggle with this a lot.  Do you ever feel like God wants you to do something and you just aren't willing?  Most of it is out of fear. The other part pure ego. 
A few days ago feeling broken and alone I decided to give it up finally. I exited my room with light footsteps and knocked on my Fathers door. "Dad, I'm sorry. I've decided to do what you asked me to do." Doing what God asked so that I could move forward with Him in HIS will and feel HIS joy again. I started praying again, seeking HIM. It's been a few days and God has shown up big time. Proving to me that his Promises are true and that He will bless my life to overflowing proportions if I am just willing to move my feet in the direction He wants them to go.  That's how awesome my Dad in Heaven is. He is forgiving and ready to bless when we are willing to stop being selfish pouting children.

I pray that if you are in this spot that you'll think about doing the same thing. Surrender to God what is weighing you down or decide to do what He's asked you to do. It's not easy. but....it's worth it.

Love and Prayers and a big XO,
