Believe it or not, but this is the same canvas.
While this was a blank canvas, I had different plans of the outcome.
My original plan was to be a realistic outdoor scene. My result was far from what I expected—it turned out to be an outdoor animated lake-type thing with something like flowers on the side... I did NOT like it.
After a couple months of just leaving it in my room, I finally decided to change it. Long story short, I really liked my second result. It was a long process to paint over the mess, but now I can't stop staring at it.

This is kind of like life.
In our own plans, we expect great results, which often turn out to be a mess. But when we let God take control, He always promises good.
Psalm 32:8 The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you."
Although it may be a long and hard process for God to make you into the person He wants you to be, at the end of it all, in all of God's goodness and grace, we can say, "It is well."
