Something new

I was given a sketching journal by a dear friend/mentor and I've recently started illustrating Bible verses. I find it to be very helpful in a few ways: 1-I'm paying closer attention to the verse to find what word pictures are in it. 2-I'm thinking about the verse more. 3-I look forward/enjoy doing it.

I wouldn't say this life event has taken me further from God. No, I wouldn't say that at all. Actually I would say the opposite, I have been leaning on/trusting Him (and his people) more and more through it. I have had a very hard time though, being deep in His Word, only reading bits and pieces here and there. 

I'm very thankful that I have a desire lately to get back into Scripture, to study it. I have a strong suspicion a few people have been praying for that, which is exactly what I needed.   

Thank you.
