Our first steps in the NFT world

Well, 2020 was an interesting year for a lot of different reasons for almost everyone in the world. But I never would have imagined that something that remarkable could grow from it.

No one would be able to tell this about me but I’m a computer geek. I mean not that deeply and definitely l lack of knowledge in this field. But I am all about new tech solutions and everything that has to do with new and exciting ways of living, handling life in the 21st century. So when an article came to my attention in April 2021 about NFTs that was only 8 months (😳) old, I had to dig in deeper.

I’ve read every article I could find about the topic. I was shocked by the amount of money and interest what people had towards this kind of thing. I knew and experienced already that owning things is really important for people. I mean I’m thankful myself to own my clothes to wear, food to eat, keepsakes to remember and gadgets I can use for creating for instance. I guess it’s just in our nature.

But owning something digitally was a completely new and to be perfectly honest with you, a hard thing to grasp. I mean people like to show off with their stuff. How would they show off with a digital creation in their everyday life?

And there was it. The deepest way of owning is just simply the thought that I am the one, who has that piece of art, that unique tweet, that song or even e-book. The line of NFTs is just starting to form. Those who are in this for a longer time than me, write and talk about a new era where owing an NFT will as normal as owning and using a car. Simply NFT is the future.

And I wanted to be the part of it. Simply because according to my belief Jesus and the Heaven is our future. Where we don’t own anything, but have everything in Him. Where there’s no pain or suffering, where there is love and kindness for everyone, who accepted Jesus.

The mission of teamBEart was always to point towards Jesus. To show and introduce Him to others. In a fresh and new way. The way hoe the people of this day and age would recognise Him better. And with the NFTs I felt I have found a new and exciting way of representing God.

But I had thousand of questions. Will this truly be God’s way? Will this truly honor Him?

During May and July I was searching for other Christian artists, who might be on this road already just get reassurance. Also was examining the existing blockchain platforms. Most of them seemed very unreachable to me.

Then I found the Voice. This community led blockchain platform where anyone could register and mint freely.

But after I have found Voice I was still hesitant for weeks.

Voice seemed the perfect platform. Even its name sounded assuring to me. But the dart pieces what I’ve seen on other platforms were mostly very disturbing. Most a single Christian piece among so many I’ve seen, but a lot of devian art. Should God’s good news be mixed with these forms of expressions?!

But God kept bringing this opportunity back to me. I couldn’t resist anymore. I’ve registered to Voice.

The day after I have registered, there was this huge collection on another blockchain called the 6666 faces of Satan and that was it, that was when I knew I had to step forward. That was my reassurance. Because who if not God himself want to be among those who are lost?! I feel ready for work.

But it had to wait. My family, my first and foremost place of service needed me as we have decided to travel back home for a month. Almost the whole August went for the preparations of the journey to home in September, so I couldn’t deal with my work, the preparations, with the actual trip and my artistic journey at the same time. It had to wait.

By the time we got closer to return I felt soooo ready to work again. But October brought a lot of stress and anxiety in so many levels that it took me almost 3 whole weeks to actually be able to think about my art. I wasn’t able to create anything, but God showed me that He has already prepared a way for this as well.

The pieces of our first NFT collection were made mostly during last Easter and they were the part of some therapy sessions I had with God. It is amazing how He can heal through creating with Him. He showed me that He sees my struggles and pain, but He holds everything in His hands and that I only need to concentrate on the finished work of Jesus, which made me new and whole. So in November I was finally able to create again, refining the pieces what we have created together earlier in that year, so by the en of the month I’ve minted the collection with the title: BEST NEWS EVER. I really felt I was seved. Again.

Christmas came and with that I felt it is more important to turn towards my family again and January and February went by with fixing our relationship with my husband, which another huge story what God is still writing and I’m so very thankful that He has the final word in it, and not us. He is truly faithful in so many ways.

So here I am. Bent but not broken with an amazing opportunity to share God with others through digital art, which now you are able to own and share with others through this amazing new way.

You can see our collection here.

I pray and hope that it will be a blessing to you.

God willing many more to come!

May your days will filled with His presence,
