crafty creations

I hate school...

simple enough.


SO NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS STUFF! Feeling really dumb and inadequate right now!

cross death...

today i have been pouring myself into this silly paper for 1 Corinthians, the only reason it is silly is because i feel so dumb doing it. i'm exhausted and there is still so MUCH to get done. it feels like no matter how hard i try this still is turning out ALL wrong. gonna keep going cause i can't quit now...i've been called and i do believe full heartedly that God is faithful and will keep HIS promises...

Oh, and several hours at a Starbucks will leave your clothes and computer and anything else you brought in with you smelling like a freshly brewed cup of joe. :)

creative spaces...

tonight i finally put it up...the blank canvas that will one day contain all of the busyness that is floating around in my brain...i long to create and to simply be. so here goes nothing but i love the opportunities that something blank can turn into. only time will tell what the creation will be...everything or nothing...

"I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's. I will not reason and compare; my business is to create."

-William Blake-

a wall all for ME :) 

next project: imagine a yellow with branches on one side and a bird on the other :) 

Lorax...

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." 

-Dr. Seuss-

When my own words fail I believe Dr. Seuss can speak for me! Got the opportunity to watch the Lorax with the children I babysit and I cannot tell you how much I LOVE that film! It is amazing the message behind the film and what it can me for each of us personally. I simply love trees and I believe my life should be lived to make a difference, so I will care a whole awful lot.

a simple beauty.

see the cross? 

colors.

It can be dangerous but I simply love looking at nature while driving!

friends.

little power man on Pilar!

Praying for my friends as they begin to journey towards the life God has intended for them! They are truly a blessing in my life! I love them both dearly!

not yet clear...

life right now seems to not be fully clear...it is as though i can see a vague outline of what is next but not exactly what shape it will take. as i was walking to a friends how tonight i took this photo and it seemed fitting for what i am currently experiencing in my own personal life.

you can kinda tell what shape it is but maybe not fully what it will become

blessings...

God has been truly amazing and has blessed me in ways that I can hardly imagine. Recently I have only been able to fall to my knees and pray a prayer of thanksgiving and praise for how amazing our God is. Truly I am in awe at his power and works. When I begin to doubt or fear God has a funny way of reminding me that he has everything under control. For a gracious and faithful GOD there are no human words that can truly say thank you or show my love for him. All I can say is that daily I desire to show my devotion to him. 

Tonight I took this photo and it reminded me of a cross. The cross seen in and through the light! :)
