IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

A marsh is neither land nor water, but a transitional area in between the two. In this collection, the marsh represents the in between places in life - where answers are unclear, and the waters are still but deep.

Horatio Spafford wrote the famous hymn “It is well with my soul” after unimaginable personal loss. His words express a deep, settled peace. A peace that surpasses all understanding. Peace that exists even when life is troubled. It’s the ability to say that even though my circumstances may be painful, uncertain, or broken, I’m anchored in faith, trust, hope and surrender.

‘It is well with my soul’ says, I know that God is with me in my present circumstance. I trust in his perfect plan for my life, plans greater than my own. And I surrender to his will no matter what that may be. Even in pain, even in uncertainty, even in sorrow, it is well with my soul.
