A Quest for Contemporary Christian Art

I just ordered this PRINT. I pinned this one ages ago and just couldn't get it out of my head. I'd click on it now and again just to read it and it makes me smile. I pinned it thinking I would try to recreate it in photoshop one day. But tonight, just out of curiosity, I clicked on the link to be taken to the Etsy shop that sells the print and was shocked to see that it was only 30 bucks!!! Without even hesitating...I JUST BOUGHT IT. So. Not. Like. Me. I can be impulsive when I shop at, say, Target, but then I can just return the items once I realize I really didn't need the same shirt in 3 different colors, or even at all. This, however,=not so returnable. Years ago I went on an Internet quest in search of contemporary christian art with the hopes that we could fill our home with biblical images (for the boys room), words, and reminders of what's really important in life, but never found anything that spoke to me and was visually pleasing at the same time. Apparently, I wasn't using the right search words or "christian art" has come a long way. I'm pleased to report that Pinterest has gobs of cool prints...more on par with what I had in mind when I began my search. I would also LOVE LOVE LOVE this PRINT for our bedroom!!!, but $50 is a bit steep for us at the moment. Hopefully someday;) Can't wait to post a pic of the print when it gets here...

***UPDATE***
Sooooooo excited!!! My maaa, who is notorious for giving the PERFECT gift year after year, gave me the "WHATEVER" print for Christmas:))) I couldn't be happier! I love it so much that now I want 2 more...one for the living room and the boys room too...HA! (sounds like the problem I have with clothes from Target, huh?) But the point is...I love, love, love it!!!
