i get what i asked for.
recently i felt discontent where i was in life. silly me... i of course asked God to challenge me. i wanted Him to break me.
well in the past month a major friendship was ruined. i have bottled up everything, and i think the guy i turned to for so much just went away. man being friends with boys sucks.
either way God did was i asked. i am broken, and the only place i can turn is to Him. to be honest. its the only place i would like to be. in Christ all this are possible. "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. after making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name He has inherited is more excellent than theirs." (hebrews 1:3-4)
Lord you have blessed me. You answered my prayers and i pray i can be content with where you have me. "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." (philippians 4:6)
my prayer is that i go against the grain. fransic chan says "we are slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to become angry"... i want to listen, bite my tongue, and realize that everything happens for a reason. so this is me not being angry, but just allowing God's power to shine.
i lived here. Lord the beauty You made astounds me.

lazy sunday. (delayed post)
today seems like the perfect to lay outside with a book and just be. granted i am at starbucks just drinking tea and working here i kind of wish i did not have to see people tonight, or today at all for that matter.
either way i am going to talk art today. i might post more then once today...
My paintings have become focused on trees. pictures dont really do them justice but lately i cannot stop thinking about the dimensions of pine trees, and the way they create planes and mess with your eye as you look at them. i have never seen anything like it before. it just is phenomenal. not to mention they are an object that fill such a huge space, yet because they are such common object your eye is still willing to look past them and focus on the back ground. it really is a beautiful thing.
but my favorite thing about trees in the representation and significance they have on life.
one. trees were created by God yet bared the fruit that adam and eve ate.
two. at the same time also in the garden was the tree of life.
three. zacchaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus.
four. Jesus was called the vine, and we are the branches. and He was the tree of life.
five. the last chapter in revelation talks about the dozen fruit trees which bring healing to the nations.
and then the non biblical references.
six. the family tree
seven. giving tree
eight. tree huggers
nine. tree houses. in your young life you make them.
ten. christmas trees. we use them to celebrate holidays
trees (and plants) are out main source of oxygen.
people protect trees
paper is made from trees
wood is made from trees
people respect trees
some people idolize trees as living things or gods
trees create a home for animals
trees provide food
trees provide a cool spot on a hot day
these are some of the ways that trees make our world better.
not to mention the essential things they add to our environment to make it beautiful.
i am not a tree hugger, heck to be honest im not that much of a "green" person. i will do it if its convenient but to be honest i would rather put energy into helping people, and protecting babies. i love painting them, i find them literarily and figuratively fascinating. so here are some trees i have painted.
enjoy.

erasing the proof does not make the memories go away
just case you erase the pictures, and the proof… doesn’t mean the memories will go away.
first you must know a little background.
what is the greatest love story ever told? how does it begin? oh simple… a guy meets a beautiful girl. No matter the love story, it will be something along those lines.
what comes next you might ask? well, a better question is... who gives a damn? love is what you make of it, and your view of love is formed from what your experiences have taught you. love, to me, means trusting in the things that don’t seem possible. it means compromising on certain things to make a relationship work. it is enjoying every second that you spend with the person you love. so you can never look back on and feel time was wasted. most of all love it remembering to hold on to the moments that take your breathe away, and know those moments will shape you and form you, even if you never see that person again.
i believe in memories. i feel its a tangible way to see the accomplishments and the failures… no matter how difficult they are, i will never deny my memories. i am proud of where i am… and i am proud of how i got here. No regrets. i had a friend with a hoodie that said that. that same friend made me have the best and worst times of my life. but… i wouldn’t trade a moment. oh and trust me… a lot of what happened between us was a mistake. but he was not a mistake. his smile could change my whole day, and the goofy ways he found to cheer me up just turned my day inside out, from flowers, to drives, diet lemonade from chik-fil-a, letters, dancing, to just picking the perfect song for the moment… and of course tons of things i couldn’t even mention.
i was a girl who wanted everything and got what i wanted. that boy was perfect for that girl… but then again i am not that girl anymore. but those memories can never be erased. so now i have a question…
why are you trying to forget peanut? why do you insist on forgetting what i meant to you? i am a part of the past… God calls us to learn from our mistakes and move on, but never forget, for that would be foolish. did you tell her like I always said was going to have to happen? i sure hope so.
no matter the pictures you erase. no matter the comments you delete on facebook, or even the fact we aren’t “friends” anymore. it will never change the truth. it cannot change history.
deny all you want… but it wont get you anywhere. it will fester and eventually drive you nuts. suck it up peanut… deal with the truth.
our place... from the first day to the last.
"i am heaven sent,
don't you dare forget.
i am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other boys all promised.
sorry i told. i just needed you to know.
i think in decimals and dollars.
i am the cause to all your problems,
shelter from cold. we are never alone.
coordinate brain and mouth.
then ask me whats it like to have
myself so figured out.
i wish i knew.."
oh i know. ;)

pretend.
****disclaimer***** i am apologizing ahead of time for the language an frustration that is about to go into this.
i hate when people pretend. fuck! if your mad at me be mad. i am done dealing with this bull shit.
if your one of my best friends, then be there. just stop pretending that we are something we are not. or that we are not something that we both know we are. i hate this. i am getting the shaft in all these relationships.
i feel used and abused. and fuck i hate this. its a dumb ass way to handle yourself. pretending is just a way to delay what is really going on, its like painting over a lava lamp... even if you cover it up there is still stuff going on inside. i just have such a hard time pretending and i dont want to take the brunt of it anymore. i have guys pretending like they are not my friends left and right. one doesnt want his girl friend to know were friends, and i a hiding relationships so my roommate doesnt get mad. what the hell... i feel like i am in jr high. fuck it.
so here is what im doing... my new method is this... i saw "bull shit. i dont care" and then i follow just that.
so bull shit. i dont care..
have a good night world. im done, and fuck all you pretenders.
here is a hint where i am, come find me of your done pretending.
enjoy.

not in a morbid i wanna die way, or a lack of communication with God.. but more along the lines of I havet had a passion for art. I did not want to do it. i was frustrated and annoyed about my money situation. because of that i chose the not allow myself to do art. i stopped, and started producing crap pieces. stuff i am not proud to admit was mine. and now. i dont know how to get back. I know that God gave me a gift, and that gift is the ability to do art. and when i produce art i feel my passion for God and my love of God continue to grow. but now im stuck. and im producing stuff i still hate.
please tell me... where am i supposed to start again. i feel... alone. the people i need to talk to about work, and art... well they are not around.
i love having Jesus in my life... but He made me to create art... and when i am not doing that. i feel like part of me is not being expressed. like i am trying to scream, but someone has a pillow on my head.
anyways. heres the lastest piece of trash.
i want this blog to help me make sense of life. its not gonna happen..
enjoy.

christmas time has come and past.
now that christmas has come and gone i start to think about how amazing, and blessed i am to have the family i do surrounding me. i am so blessed with amazing friends. this break has been full of best friends and christmas cheer. we have made cookies, watched movies, worn ugly sweaters, made hot chocolate and spent a lot of time bonding and celebrating the birth of an amazing Lord and Savior, Jesus. who is the reason for the season.
this christmas was much more low key then normal. for christmas eve we ate dinner with good family fiends, and then went to church. after that we headed home to do presents and watch some 24 hours of the christmas story. on christmas day we hung out and woke up around 10 am. from there we opened presents and then ate dinner/lunch at 1:30 so we could go to the movies at 3. We saw little fockers. funny, but not at all christmas oriented. we dropped off some presents on the way home, and come home to clean for a bunch of family friends who came over and played bingo for nickels and dimes. so after spending 400+ dollars on christmas i lost some change to the people i bought presents for. its amazing to think that its all over. the stress and everything is finally over. but in the end... why did we do all this, why did we send the money, and shop, and have all these parties? because we love God and His Son who He sent to save the world... so i'll end with these words which come from my favorite christmas movie.
"""Charlie Brown: Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?
Linus Van Pelt: Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about.
Lights, please.
[a spotlight shines on Linus]
Linus Van Pelt: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'"
[Linus picks up his blanket and walks back towards Charlie Brown]
That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown. """

words that changed history
It Is Finished
those words are beautiful. they bring hope and life, and a chance for ever human being to be in the kingdom of heaven. there are very few words that hold a grain of salt to those. very few writers were ever able to grasp the idea that those words portray. rarely to i stop in the middle of movie and think that those words much have changed someone.
but i have twice. the first was over four years ago, and the other was tonight.
the first was for the third movie of lord of the rings.
"gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
pippin: What? Gandalf? See what?
gandalf: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."
the second was in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
aslan says this to lucy and edmund after they find out when will not be returning... they asked if he was in their world.
“But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
both jrr tolkien, and cs lewis were men who understood who God was and what he wants for all mankind. so tonight, i thank them. for they are brilliant. and i pray their words of wisdom will bring people to understand the beautiful words at the top of this post.

compassion
its an interesting word, compassion. it can mean so many things. but in the end compassion is really nothing more then something we say we have.
compassion |kəmˈpa sh ən| noun
sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.
really compassion cannot get us anywhere in life. we need to do something in order for our compassion to really mean anything. i might have great intentions, but if i never use them to help someone, or to change the world... then i will not get anywhere.
i know, i know. who am i to talk about change. i am a middle class white girl who even though she doesnt have much money is warm and has a full stomach on this snowy cold night. well i have banana, and all i can challenge you to adopt a kid like banana who you can sponsor. Its weird but, it makes working not seem as bad knowing that if i wasnt working banana would not be getting money right now.
think about it. i sponsor banana through compassion international. there are other organizations that work the same. But check them out. its feels awesome to make a difference!
:)

something new
looks like i'm taking my mind off anything that is frustrating or at all distracting and working on these projects. so project two out of five (project one was the piano). number two and three are basically together. but i want to separate them for blog consideration/ portfolio reasons.
