...I received a letter from my dear friend Bethany back in NY - it was a nice little thank-you card with encouraging verses and attributes of the awesome God we serve. One of the verses really spoke to me - it was Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus talks about burdens:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.I took a few minutes to let the weight of its significance sink in. I've had a tremendous amount of burdens to bear this semester - this could not have been more timely or fitting. It inspired me and gave me hope to carry on. But before I did, I had to celebrate with a creative outlet - (I can be one of those crazy artsy people from time to time... I just hide it well =)... It's not much, but with my very limited budget (free) for art supplies (including artistic software), this is about what I can do in a few minutes with freeware; but it's comforting and reminds me to cast all my cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7, para) as it now sits as my desktop background:

yay for encouragement from friends, but what's even more awesome is the following: YAY for the encouragement of the life and testament of Jesus Christ as told in the true Word of God. :)
