Five Minute Friday - Paint


The first project I tackled this morning was painting a coffee mug for a friend with her "word of the year" on it.  As I was letting it dry, I ventured over to Five Minute Friday to see what the topic was.

 PAINT

 Coincidental? I think not. 

 I had a hard time with the mug. My hand was wobbly and I was afraid of making a mistake. 

 I think that is the way I live my life, a little wobbly and afraid of making mistakes.

 I have to believe that I can accomplish great things, and that it is o.k. to make mistakes. God never asks us to be perfect, he asks us to try. And when we do, we can accomplish more than we think.

 My mug turned out pretty good (o.k., maybe not as cool as some of the ones I've seen on Pinterest, but cool none the less) and I know my friend will be blessed by it. Isn't that what it's all about?

    You are right! I particularly appreciated your line: "I think that is the way I live my life, a little wobbly and afraid of making mistakes." You gave me something to think about this morning. And great mug!!
