Hebrews 10:37

Today I'm feeling quite artsy for some reason. I honestly suck at drawing and painting of any kind...but I do enjoy it very much. I haven't ever shown people things that I have done because I know they are bad. I love watercolors...something about how you can make it lighter or bolder by the amount of water you use amuses me. There are many different methods you can use and I love all of them.

I have been teaching myself how to play the guitar lately. I like it, it's beautiful and takes a lot of patience...something I lack a lot of. God can teach you some amazing things through simple stuff like playing the guitar.

Some of God's techniques make me laugh. I was thinking last night how Satan can trick us into doing stupid things, but how God ALWAYS without fail knows how to use even those things for his own glory. I have learned more things out of mistakes I have made than in any sermon I have ever heard. This is true. This is life. And I'm stuck living it. Sometimes I get tired of heartache and struggles, but God put me on this Earth for a reason and I will glorify him even if it hurts. Although, I can't wait to be in heaven with him for eternity.

I heard an amazing testimony last night at church by a man named Marshall...I only hope one day I can have his attitude. I would love to release nothing by positivity to others through my life. How rewarding?

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

We memorized that in discipleship and I love it. Diligently seeking after Christ requires faith, and without faith it is impossible to please Him.

"You're way down,
full of something,
underneath it all..
Hold your head up high,
there's no need to rush,
We're all just waiting...
waiting to die."

I am off of work tomorrow...SCORE.

Don't say goodbye.

With Love from Christ,
