This is Good...

I found this, and it relates so much to my life right now. Thought i'd sare the encouragement with you. More is to come...

If your life was like a painting,the strokes that are being added to the canvas today may not make much sense when viewed alone. However, God doesn't waste any strokes...for He sees the final picture...You may think the color being used today is too gray...[but] the time will come when you will see that the meaning of the painting would be weakened if the gray strokes were not included in the exact places they appear.~anonymous

gray in one spot on a painting could look like a blob, whereas in a carefully placed spot, it adds depth and sets off something vitally important to the point of the painting. this "gray" is being carefully stroked into the exact place it needs to be, so that it brings your future - the very masterpiece of your life - to light.

because i'm a nerd and like to say things like "in conclusion" this is where i'll end. in conclusion, i'm in a gray spot. and yes i started a new journal. and yes i changed my blog. again. but i'm learning to embrace this gray spot for all it's worth, and see the beauty in every tiny curve and bend in it's stroke
