Glad its "warring with the flesh" and "in Christ you are a new creation" and not "no, this is who you really are and always will be".

The bravest thing you can do is stop mourning the life you expected and start noticing the one that's trying to find you.

you will struggle to say the unsayable thing for five years straight. and then it will suddenly become easy on a Wednesday morning

I always always think it’s “your will be done not mine” (ok I’ll accept the endless suffering) but it’s supposed to be “your will be done not mine” (bigger better more impossible things overall than I can see in my suffering but will get to see).

some of y'all just want a book report on a nearly 3,000 year old story and some of us want to see a man's personal interpretation of one of the oldest written stories we still have even if it's flawed

As someone who was alive when Bob Ross (and William Alexander before him — that’s where the approach is from) was on PBS, I can 100% testify that you can paint along with him.

You may need to learn how to set up your paints and such… but this is what people did, live, while the show aired. That’s what the show was for. I had family members create lovely works of art they enjoyed, which I still have on my walls, because William Alexander and Bob Ross both said:

SCREW METICULOUS CLASSICAL ART PRACTICES — JUST GRAB A PALETTE KNIFE AND BIG OLD BRUSH AND PAINT!

They freed a whole generation of people who were taught to paint detail and realism and exact representation of reality — people who largely gave up this kind of thing because it got tedious.

I watched the joy of family members as they rediscovered art as a messy fun spontaneous half hour activity.

Give it a try.
