Safe enough to rest.
There was a season when everything I had built online was suddenly gone.
Not slowly.
Not gradually.
Just… gone.
A hacked website. Years of work disrupted. Art scattered. Links broken. And for a while, it felt like standing in the aftermath, wondering where to even begin again. So I didn’t.
What I didn’t see at first was that restoration rarely arrives the way loss does.
Loss is loud.
Restoration is quiet.
It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t rush. It doesn’t prove anything.
It simply begins… and keeps going.
As I rebuilt PamHerrick.com piece by piece, something unexpected happened.
Old pins that had been circulating for years began sending people home again.
Traffic I didn’t even realize was still flowing found its way back.
What felt broken wasn’t erased. It was waiting.
This painting captures that season for me.
Not striving.
Not fighting.
Just resting in the presence of the Lion of Judah.
Restoration doesn’t always look like getting everything back the way it was.
Sometimes it looks like being held while something new takes shape.
If you’re in a season where things were lost, disrupted, or taken from you, I want you to know this:
What God restores often comes back deeper, steadier, and more grounded than before.
May you feel peace, hope, and rest as you explore my Spirit Flow Art Gallery.
And may restoration find you quietly, faithfully, right where you are.
