I went to the lake this weekend with my 2 friends and we basically watched the whole first season of Gossip Girl. It was great because I love that show now. I know tons of people will disagree and make remarks about how its trash but personally I enjoy watching it and yes I am still a Christian. When I got home I was in the biggest mood to paint and I found some oils and new gold paint so it HAD to go down. I'll upload them when they are done drying but I was letting one dry in my bathroom and Baby (my kitten) decided to get a closer look and leaped up on the chair where my painting was and rubbed her tail in it! It was great and now she has a gold tail... Anyways I've been struggling with this problem today and its basically me annoying myself. I know that sounds ridiculous or maybe you have experienced it too but it's a horrible thing. I don't like it at all and I know it's the devil trying to steal my joy. He seems to try that often ... I have this quote that I am obsessed with and I want to paint a canvas of it soon but it says "Comparison is the thief of Joy". I find myself comparing me to other people and what they are or have and it is the worst thing I could ever do! Everyone is so different in the most unique ways and there is no way I could be JUST like the people I am comparing myself to and there is no way they can be anything like me! We should be rejoicing every minute at how beautifully unique the Lord made us- just for his glory. NO ONE can paint like me or talk like me or think like me and that is so comforting because in this huge world where every ones trying to catch up and be like everyone else... I don't have to worry about ME being stolen. I can, however, get lost in the bundle of chaos and I definitely know that happens. The worst feeling is when you don't know the person staring back at you. I'm working on that right now.
