Foundation

Jesus is my foundation.

Soul-Less

Follow the sickly sweet voice down the slope of slumber.
Rest and relax in death.
Think of nothing but yourself.
How you feel, what satisfies you, your secret sins of destruction.
Nothing else matters. You can't change the world.
You're a flickering light at its wicks end.

You've given me your soul; didn't you know?

Waiting.

Clickity clack.
Clickity clack.
Listen. Listen to the warning.
Do you hear it?
Hear the screams, the sirens, the racing heart beat.
Do you hear the acceleration of the present?

Listen.
Listen with your heart.

It's coming. It's coming.
Are you listening?


You're not ready.

Head Goes BOOM!!

I'm starting to think that my head aches might be stress related. When I was home I didn't have that many head aches. And if I did have a head ache it wasn't that bad. But here I am back in Texas trying to find a job, picking back up my counsloing, and trying to stay devoted to my daily growth and I have a head that makes it hard to breath. Every noise is stinging my ears and making my head POUND. Even the tippy tap of the key pad is making my head spin. I really need to figure this out. I've always had problems with head aches, just wish I knew why and how to prevent them. 

SUBMIT

Submit to God.
Submit.
Submit to God.
Be under submition.

Is that why I've been having such a hard time? Because I don't want to submit to the Lord. I would rather be my own master. I would rather rely on myself than someone or something else. I don't know why, cause I'm not very reliable, don't you think I would want to trust, rely and follow someone who is never wrong.

I think I found an important key today in my devotional. I want to be in control, even if I give that control away, I want to be in control of me. I'm unwilling to let the Lord run my life because that would mean I'm not in control. I would have to submit to him and his loving, caring and all knowing goodness. 

How foolish.  

R2D2

How often do we say words that we don't mean? We might mean them to be true. Our hearts might be honest in speaking words of hope, love, care and encouragement; but how often do we say words without thinking? We say cliches and phrases; things that have become automatic to us. "How are you?" "God Bless." "Love you." But our heart and love is truly not behind the words we say. Our minds and hearts do not connect.

We have become robotic.  

Self - Protrait

I got a new book giving you ideas on how to use different types of mixed media to make "spill journaling" art works.

I took one of the ideas given in the book and tweaked it to my style.

The person is made out of old journal entries and random drawings. The journal entries were written in different hard times of my life.

The wording at the top reads: "Lift the Darkness."

Stars Go Dim vs. SGD Promo Team

I don’t know how I get myself dragged into these projects, but I do – ha.

A request from Sly:
Sly wanted me to draw her a picture of the band Stars Go Dim (SGD) vs the SGD Promo team. With captcha code (a MySpace promo teamer’s worse nightmare), raccoons and a squirrel.

So I came up with the SGD vs SGD Promo Team Dance Off! All the band members are on the left (Chris, Joey, Lester and Michael) and the promo team is on the right (Sly, Cheri, Paula, Eric and me). With an audience in the front watching (raccoons attend dance off’s if you didn’t know).

And we’re all playing captcha dance (it’s like DDR but with captcha code)!


PS – I don’t like drawing faces, that’s why everyone is ‘faceless.’ And I love the fact that Sly is smaller than everyone else; ha ha. And I needed a bigger canvas...

Tools: pencil, water color, paint, markers, sharpies and pen.
