Bible Marginalia- Refreshed

Bible Marginalia Series- #279

Proverbs 11:25
Sometimes I am just running out of steam.
Too much, too often,
 and too little of the next thing.
Out of balance.
In some quiet time- 
I used a simple prayer card 
that I usually color in-
and added it to the page for the reference
 in my interleaved Bible.
Then simply started filling 
in the space with doodles.
Traced a couple of circles to get started- 
and then sat and drew
 and prayed this verse.
Who was in need of refreshment?
Who did the Holy Spirit need to enrich?
Somehow at then end of this time- 
no color- 
just plain old black pen on paper 
and a quiet calm of refreshment
 was "just there".
Can't ask for more than that- 
a simple process- 
a refreshing time in prayer - for others- 
and I was refreshed too.

Supplies:
Proverbs prayer card
Fine point Sharpie pen- non-bleeding
Washi tape
Colored pencil
