I wanted to share my latest project with ya'll. I've been really busy lately, so I haven't had time for much, but this is something I've worked on little by little.
1 Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord,
My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
3 As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,
Nor take up their names on my lips.
5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Psalm 16 is my life Psalm, and I wanted to put it up on my wall, but I didn't just want it on my quote wall, I wanted it BIG! Ordering "Wall Words" was out of the question, and I didn't want to pay to have a poster made, so I settled for something simple, and cheap--paper. Yes, this project took 98 pieces of paper, and several hours to complete. Fortunately most of the hours were not spent all in one solid chunk, but rather in 15 minutes here, and 10 minutes there. The largest chunk of time I spent was 3 hours cutting and taping it to my closet door. But I am very pleased with the final result. It doesn't look professional, and there are gaps of the closet peeping out between the papers, but nobody will see it but me. So it really doesn't matter does it?
