"A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear"...

"A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear" I have to agree, I love nothing more than to smile and smile often. Today I wasn't able to do so very much, I had to model a t-shirt and help a friend out with a project, meaning I had to do the "pensive look", which is pretty alien to me!

I love photos, I love taking them and being in them. But it seems more and more that I seem to get the same stigma attached to me of being vain. I'd love to deny it, but most people would argue a good case of the fact that I'm tagged on Facebook in over 2,000 photos and that I probably have a million and one other photos elsewhere.

(I did have a point to this blog, but now it seems to have gone deeper inside of me and no longer seems like something to bring back up.)

I will say this, that vanity and confidence seem to often get themselves mixed up, people with confidence can come across arrogant and vain and those that are vain come across confident, mostly with themselves.

For me confidence in myself is something I have least of, confidence that God will bring out the best in me-that I have, confidence that people know who I am because of my family-I've relied on that for years.

Vanity-I see myself as a sculpture or an unfinished painting, there's always improvements to be made, and there's always imperfections. But the artist and creator seems to know what He's doing nonetheless. Is that vanity?

An artist's work is never done, likewise God isn't finished with this piece of art that is me. One day he will have finished every delicate layer and intricate detail, but until that day I am an imperfect, unfinished, work in progress.
