Providence

“And if we believe that God is everywhere, why should we not think Him present even in the coincidences that sometimes seem so strange? For, if He being in the things that coincide, He must be in the coincidence of those things.” -George MacDonald, 1867

I mentioned in a previous post that God has repeatedly shown the way forward for this book as I worked first on the narrative, then the storyboard sketches and now, in the illustrations for this book.

Nowhere has He shown up more powerfully than in this two-page spread, which marks not only a transition for the age and path of the narrator, but appears at the very center of the book.

I needed the just-right young lady to serve as a model for the older version of the narrator, I needed the just-right church to stand as a model for the view from the window, and then, I wasn’t sure what to sketch for the right border… Every time, in the unlikeliest circumstances and locations, God provided.

Soli Deo gloria.
