hmmmmm

I've noticed alot of people complaining, more so than usual, about the rain.
I guess this is the time when people get really sick of it.
However-
God made it. Therefore it is good :)
Even better, its BEAUTIFUL
The sound it makes... like a lullaby..
The freshness..
The crisp smell..
the droplets that collect and reflect on all sorts of objects..




I don't see why people cancel all these things because of the rain..
let us get caught in a down poor as we take a walk, jump in puddles, dance, hike and have picnics
Let us learn to love the rain!

Alsan..

Abby and I had a wonderful paint day together!
We both decided to paint Aslan.. mine after I had already painted most of the picture decided to toss Him in.. While Abby, much wiser at painting and much better decided before the paint ever touched the paper!
It was great to watch an amazing artist at work! Learned a few new tricks! Thanks Abby!
Here is the fruit of my labor.. its not done.. but i couldn't resist!
So my Aslan.. I think I'll take Abby's advice... The only way to learn is to do it over and over again...I'm amazed that he ended up looking like a lion.. I've never painted one before.. but it looks like his tail got stuck in an electric socket... I'll try and remember to tone down the top of the mane next time.. :)

Rustic?

I must say, it has been awhile...
but this painting thing has stirred in me this artistic side.. I have decided I am an artist, a bad one-maybe. But non the less I declare it.
After watching Narnia, I felt a need to express some artistic passion for my Jesus. It has been awhile as I have said, so do forgive me, but I wanted to share the poem I wrote. A poem is a thought right? You can decide.. Complex, or Simple?
Lord of immense power and might
Into our dark hearts, You cast a Holy light,
Our acts of treachery, cannot be hidden from Your view
Trembling with fear we fall broken before You.
As we await Your righteous wrath,
In grace you reveal another path,
The Holy Lamb came down to Earth,
A miracle of love, a virgin birth
Down to the Earth which you Created,
Came a Savior, long awaited.
But to the one who deserved more than praise
We denied you, and cared not about your ways
On that day, so dark and grim
I hear my voice cry “crusifiy Him”
For on that cross, my sins were laid
Upon the Holy lamb, my debt was paid
The agonies brought death upon that cross
But by the Holy Spirit, Not all was loss
You rose again on the third day
To bind me to you in an unchanging way
By the death of your only Son,
My love, you have surely Won.
Though I walk through the wicked sea
Your righteousness like armor is about me
And inside, your spirit strong
Will keep me going all my life long
Now I await the day of Your return
But not for my works, for what could I earn?
No I eagerly await so I may see,
The one who would save, a sinner like me.

I love when...

I catch people picking their nose in the car next to me.. Its disgusting but very intriguing..
They act like no one can see them behind their glass widows..
It makes me think of how we act.
We act like sometimes God can't see the "little" sins we do and we attempt to hide behind our glass windows.. But God can still see and it is disgusting..

Simple....But it was taking up space as a sticky note on my computer..

After reading this week in Lit all of these stories about people in their last moments before they die,it has tossed a sudden reality check at me. It is one thing to say you are living each moment for the right reasons and that you are living with a passion for God , but imagine that in the next minute you will die.....
Looking back on your life, on your day even, will you be satisfied in what you bring before God?
I don't want to lay dieing and look back on my life, before I see God face to face and wish I had lived with more passion, shared the Gospel with that person, or loved more sincerely. I don't wanna be wishing for a redo.. because its too late.

Welcome Welcome!

Here begins the beginning of a new adventure.
A new blog, a fresh start.
During the day, some days more than others, as I meditated on God's Truths, by God's Grace, my mind fathoms analogies and deeper understandings. In this blog I desire to post all thoughts, both big and small. Please be patent with me, I know I am  not a writer, nor will I pretend to be. I can not spell, i have terrible grammar and most of the time i have great difficulty expressing my thoughts into comprehensible messages. However, I wish to hopefully take your mind upon the trails that God has taken my mind to. As I seek Him, let me share with you some of the blessings of trials and blessings of hearing Him with you. Be patient as I desire- to encourage and to be encouraged.
