- Easy discernment—being able to make the correct decisions that are best for me and the people around me.
4. Tell why you chose to design a work of art that will protect/extend the body in this way.
I chose this purpose because during the Thanksgiving break, I found myself in situations where I didn’t have enough time to rest, and the thing I prayed for the most was the spirit of discernment—to make the correct decisions for myself and those involved in what I was going through. Having the ability to make clear and unquestionable decisions is a gift I strive to maintain.
5. Give some more information on the purpose of your project. Explain its function in depth.
The spirit of discernment is something I have made a major prayer point in my life, as I feel like I’ve been making bad decisions recently. I often reflect on Proverbs 3:5, which says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding.” This verse reminds me to trust in divine guidance, rather than relying on my own limited perspective. The purpose of my wearable art is to serve as a reminder and a tool for grounding myself in wisdom and clarity, helping me to make decisions with confidence. It will act as both a protective shield against impulsive decisions and a physical symbol of my spiritual practice of discernment.
