Love Always Wins


UNIQUENESS

Aren't we all!  We are all who we are for a special reason. 

I AM Caroline Perez

Proud wife and mother of two amazing children, a high school art teacher for the past 23 years, and a believer in the love and promises of our amazing God!!! Art has always been my thing for as long as I can remember. I grew up going to church every week with my family, and gratefully, was taught to bring my problems to God. There were times in my life, however, that my walk with God felt distant, particularly in my twenties. I had so many questions about life, but I was "too busy", impatient, and honestly, was just trying to figure things out on my own (which never works). Looking back, I can see I was searching for who I really am, what is truth, and what was my full purpose, I was seeking, looking for meaning. I am a wife and mother, so I know part of my purpose is to care for and love my husband, and to raise my children to be kind, independent, God loving individuals. I'm also a teacher, so I know another part of my purpose is to teach my students about art, responsibility, and appropriate, productive behavior. But still, I had to believe that there is more. 


Life has a way of bringing you to your knees, and its usually at these moments we finally look up. There were personal challenges, and times where I questioned my worth: but my faith reminded me that I am made for a purpose. A good purpose. We all are, and have been given unique gifts so that we may fulfill that purpose, and bless each other along the way. I'm not sure where you are on your journey, but whatever you're going through right now, don't give up! Dig deeper, draw closer to God, remember who you are, and  strive to find and use your gifts. If, like me, you've already discovered pieces of the puzzle, let me encourage you to Keep Going!! Don't stop! You were meant for greatness!!!​


God has a plan for your life, and Jesus came to tell us it's never too late to live out that purpose and promise!!:) Be kind to yourself, and give yourself margin because life is a learning experience, and when we know better, we do better. 


So with this site, my hope and purpose is to reach out and share what's worked for me, and to inspire others to work towards their full potential. The ideas and practices herein helped me manage the stress that comes from a world in distress, as well as from self-sabotaging, internal dialogue. If this site helps even one person bring peace to the chaos, it will have been worth it.

VISION

To continue teaching art and my Bible journaling ministry, and bring it online. To create a place where someone can begin or renew a hopeful, healthy, inner dialogue, a relationship with God, and a prayer-life through the power of journaling and its many facets. To help others discover that journaling is a powerful self-care tool that can help you self-reflect, heal faster, forgive quicker, love deeper, and experience a strong, personal relationship with God.
