Nurtured
Art + reflection by Sofia Rector
An acorn falls, seemingly cast away…forgotten…alone. But there in the wombing darkness of the earth, God knows it—both its smallness and its worth to Him—and He nurtures it. Water, soil, and time (a few of His ministers) quietly care for the seed in its place of brokenness and need. In that hidden, faithful care, this acorn will thrive. Wait — and see.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
SOFIA RECTOR
An artist and writer with a contemplative bent, Sofia Rector seeks to witness and add to the beauty she sees from her home in the northern suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. She finds joy whether exploring the outdoors with her husband and son or curling up with a good book, her journal, and a mug of black coffee or tea. Sofia shares her mixed media artwork, written reflections, and glimpses of the everyday beautiful on Instagram. She also sells original artwork and receives commission requests on Etsy.
