A Look at Hints

It was at a funeral, no less, when we shared our love for writing and drawing. Mine was the former, hers was the latter.

Her talent is apparent in her beautiful watercolor works and her amazing sketches so I had this crazy idea to ask her to illustrate this poem that I wrote.

So I gave her the poem and asked her for a picture that God will impress on her with the words that I had strewn together.

Since she moves in the prophetic gift, I knew that God will give her a picture that will minister to many just by looking at her sketch.

About a week after, she handed me her work... it was on a piece of paper inserted between the pages of a magazine and it was a sketch of a ballerina... and well, this is her side of the story:



Donna's:
Arts has its own unique way of expression that can never be explained by a formula or logic. Just like beauty, joy, passion, or sunsets. I was asking help from God on what picture to match your poem. I'm just scared to strip this poem of what it is really saying. And then a picture of a ballet dancer was impressed in my heart. 
That was my jump-off point. I was thinking of several dance movements (like a Degas-signature artwork) that would capture your words and I came across a photo of a lone ballerina in that pose with arched back with her head and hands thrown without any limits. And i thought this pretty much shows how one can throw all of herself in what she is doing, be it a dance or other things simply because she knows she's complete. I am guessing one can never dance as passionate as that dancer if she does not know how much loved she is. 

So there you have it! Thanks so much Donna for collaborating with me! Here's the link to the illustrated poem, enjoy!

Bridal Shower Ideas

Hey pretty ladies! Throwing a bridal shower for your dear friend soon? Here are some ideas that you may want to explore :)

i love You

Just sneaking in a post to share how God has been good to me all my life :) Somehow, no matter how much I try or anyone tries, I haven't felt loved and I couldn't love the way God loves me. When I talk to people and I try to describe God's love, every analogy falls short... simply because His love is just so much more intense and it's unconditional. For this post, I want to share the role that love plays in allowing God to be the Lord of my life. :) When we talk about Lordship, it usually entails a sharp intake of breath and begrudgingly opening our hands to release something that we have held on for too long... but Lordship can also be a natural response to what is already made complete in us. Lordship, at its best, is an expression of love. :)

This Thing Called "Grace"

I'll be off work for the rest of the month (yaaaay!) and I'm excited to just sit in coffee shops, with my notebook on hand, or to plop a pillow on the bed and catch up on my reading list... Excited for the quiet stillness that the next several days would bring. There are still merry making days and huling-hirit parties but there will also be quiet times in which I could t just soak in everything and I know that it will do my soul well :) With all the busyness that this season brings, just taking a few moments to take everything in will do you good too :)
