Tackle It Tuesday

Ok, first time Tackle It post and I'm not sure this will be a weekly thing, however, yesterday I was going to just clean everything up and hang my new painting, but thought "Wait! This would make a great Tackle It Tuesday post!"

Anyways... the before...


And... the after...About the new artwork. We were at Family Christian where I was drawn to it and fell totally in "like" with it :-) Saw there was a 50% sticker on it and said, "Honey?!" Checked what it was 50% off of and said, "Whoa, um please?!" (definitely was still gonna be quite a splurge). My husband liked it very much as well and saw my attachment. Got to the counter and it rang up 75% off. I nearly cried right there. This verse has meant so much now and really, since getting saved in college. I tend to try and run ahead of God and His gentle reminder that He is in control, despite my desires and my plans, has always been a comfort to me (especially when things happen that are totally out of my control/Nathan). We (I) need to stop the busyness, stop the "demanding" prayers, and simply be still. Nothing I could ever want could be better for me than what His will is for me! :-)
