Two artists I love talk about the joy of the process of creating music. The end product is a fraction of the story. I find it to be a great reminder as the Lord takes me through various processes in life.
We are all artists in one way or another - enjoy the process and you will that much more enjoy the end product!
Below each video you will find some favorite quotes of mine from the respective videos that I think are musts to take with us on our journeys so that we do not miss out on what the Lord has for us along the way as well as at the end.

"Most of the process behind this work of art is the actual carving into the wood, and the final product, what everybody else gets to see, is just this thing on a piece of paper. They don't get to see the process and the beginning - all the intricate little maneuvers that actually go into creating the final product."
"It's this really interesting process of collaboration. All of that goes on in the background in the beginning, and is really only for us to experience and to see. And in the end all that people get to see is the imprint of that, but this is the most amazing part of it for me - the carving. And I think that's really beautiful and I feel really lucky to be involved."
"Whatever is left on the canvas when you strip it all off, that's what this record is. I love that. I love that concept of it being the sort of remainder because we sort of burned away a lot of the distractions, and it's just very raw and pure and honest."
"I want to be that record in your ear. I want to be the sound of something that's soothing, but something that's really heartfelt and honest."
