There's been something profound to the making of this exhibition box. It's been one of the most difficult puzzles that i've had to try to piece together. There are moments that I'm inspired, and moments when I just want to walk away. I feel like the Lord is teaching me quite a bit through the experience. I spent weeks planning, drawing and pondering this project, avoiding its construction because I had to get it right the first time. I felt the need to get every piece right the first time. Have you ever felt that way? Felt as though you needed to step back and plan and ponder until you had it all figured out? I do it all the time. But things just don't work that way. You've got to step up, take and shot and be willing to learn. What if the Lord held us to that perfect standard. What if, when you gave your life to Him he said, "alright, I've got a lot of great things for you to do, but you've got to do them perfect the first time. don't try unless you're sure you're going to do it right." I tell you, I don't think we'd end up accomplishing much. Instead the Lord decides to use imperfect men and women to slowly and blunderingly the things that he could do perfectly with ease. I wonder why that is? He just asks us to walk with Him as we are and be willing to learn along the way. Praise God. I am a student of my Lord and God. Just a student. I hope I never stop learning.
