my classmates think i'm intoxicated and my worship team thinks i'm crazy. but last thursday, as i was sitting outside for my drawing class, trying to find something that inspired my pencil, my eyes settled on a wall covered with ivy. as the wind blew, the leaves rustled up and down in waves. to my tired mind, it appeared to me as if they were laughing! so in a moment of utter heaviness, when all i wanted to do was lie down and sleep, God brought laughter into my world - through ivy, of all things!
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
~Isaiah 61:1,3~
