I recently learned the art word, pentimento, which is “the presence or emergence of earlier images, forms, strokes painted over.” It’s also the Italian word for repentance.

“The more I walk with God and God walks with me, the more I come into the full-orbed significance of who I am and what I am…” -Howard Thurman, The Message of Micah

Grace leaves tracks, and we are on this journey together.
