This one was painted while watching a video on YouTube. The photo of the painting was taken before it was totally dry, thus the wrinkles. They’ll go away when it dries.

Today’s Thoughts:

As you write out goals, make two columns. List those that only Jesus can resolve and ones you can work to achieve with Him.

“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 43:5
