As strange as it sounds, this drawing/doodle is just honest.
There is a lot of intricacy; a lot of lines and colors and textures and just a fraction of the way through, I wasn't sure I could fill the page in a way that was glorifying to the words I tried to surround.
There is brightness, uncertainty, exploding color, confusion, and joy.
This is me.
There are a lot of intricate situations, a lot of lines I've drawn with confidence and still others that fill me with uncertainty of whether or not I can fill my life in a way that is glorifying to the Lord. There are sections that go so smoothly and still others that confuse me. And then there's joy in the brightness and in the exploding designs, because I'm reminded that Jesus has already overcome this world, and He's not expecting me to be perfect. In fact, he's telling me that I'm going to have trouble, and he's encouraging me to keep going.
When I read it, this is what I felt, and this is what I heard.
"Brace yourself.
It's gonna get rough, but don't give up.
I've been there, done that, girl.
I overcame that. For you.
So find your peace in me."
