I have been reading She Reads Truth's Psalms of Gratitude study with friends. And even though it's almost over I keep going back to the first day. This verse really resonated with me, so I wrote it out so that I don't have to keep looking it up. 

I have always written out and doodled verses and words in my journals, bible, notes, any kind of paper really. I thought I was the only one, until the past few years I've noticed prints and such popping up all over the internet. I'm such an independent person and have always strived to be a little different (ok, so maybe that's just my excuse for being a little weird and awkward). I've realized that the internet and blogging world is a difficult place to be unique. There are so many big and tiny influences. Anyway, sorry for the tangent, my art history thesis in college was about if originality in the art world, and I think I will always continue struggling and writing that thesis in my head.

What I was trying to say is that I've always kept those doodles and such for myself and dear friends. I shared this with my friends I'm doing the study with, and decided it was time to share with you too. I see myself becoming more encouraged by those that are creating and making and ok with sharing interests and ideas alongside others. As I mentioned in my last post, this is starting to become a little place of community for me. This isn't my best work, and is far from perfect. If I knew that when I originally created this that I would be sharing it with you, I don't think that I would be writing this post today. I would keep redoing this until it was perfect and then you would probably never see it! So, hopefully we can start to become better friends, and I can start to be ok with sharing a little more of my imperfect progress.
