What are you?
“Are you that rare light in the darkness? Or an all too familiar eclipse, who’s main purpose is to obscure everything in its path?” ~M

Unsettled…
“When I look up at the moon and see that old familiar glow, I feel a sense of peace that at least something in this life remains constant. And then I remember the dark nights of a new moon, and I’m left unsettled once again.” ~M

Light and Shading – Week 5
Every week, I feel like my projects get more difficult, and as simple as this one looks with just a couple of boxes and a ball, it really was my most difficult project yet. This one was sketched using a 2B and 6B graphite pencil and took a couple of days to complete. I’m just relieved that it’s done, and feel like I could still spend a few more hours perfecting it even now. However, I’ve already turned in this project for the week and I’m ready to never have to look at this one again! Lol…
#MidnightMadness – 9/28/2017
At the dinner table, the question of the day was…
If you happened along a creepy tunnel, and you saw a light at the end of it, would you venture in further to investigate where the light was coming from?
Both of my girls said, that they would investigate the light, and I said I’d turn around and go back the way in which I came. Brianna thought that was unwise, and said the place I came from was probably worse. I said, “Well, I came from that place and survived, so it must not have been that bad.” And yet she insisted that going towards the light in the creepy tunnel was still the better option. Then at the last minute she added this… “Well mom, you’re forgetting… we all initially came from a creepy tunnel.” I couldn’t help but bust out laughing. The joke was totally lost on little Auti. Thank goodness for that!

The coal black night was dismally cold and damp, and only a flicker of light illuminated the old dusty room.
Now you finish the story… No compty’s please! Let’s see what you got! 😉

The Attributes of God
Today I wanted to talk a little bit about who God really is. Have you ever really thought about what God is like? I have spent years compiling a list of the attributes of God. On days when I feel distant from Him, I reach for my list to see the way the Bible defines Him. Somehow knowing what He is like, gives me more confidence in my relationship with Him. The Bible holds the truth about who He is and what He stands for, so that we can gain a better understanding of Him. I would like to share with you the list that I have put together, and I would also like to know if any of you have something to add to the list and where it can be found in the Bible. Here’s my list:
God is….
- A consuming fire – Hebrews 12:29
- My strong fortress – 2 Samuel 22:33
- Spirit – John 4:24
- Love – 1 John 4:8
- Great – Psalm 147:5
- Abundant in strength – Psalm 147:5
- Understanding – Psalm 147:5
- The first – Isaiah 44:6
- The last – Isaiah 44:6
- The only God – Isaiah 44:6
- The maker of all things – Isaiah 44:24
- The head of Christ – 1 Corinthians 11:3
- A God of peace – 1 Corinthians 15:33
- Light – 1 John 1:5
- A Jealous God – Deuteronomy 4:24
- A witness between you and me – Genesis 31:50
- A compassionate God – Deuteronomy 4:31
- The faithful God – Deuteronomy 7:9
- Just – 2 Thessalonians 1:6
- A warrior – Exodus 15:3
- My strength – Exodus 15:2
- My song – Exodus 15:2
- My salvation – Exodus 15:2
- Majestic in holiness – Exodus 15:11
- Awesome in praises – Exodus 15:11
- Highly exalted – Exodus 15:21
- A victorious warrior – Zephaniah 3:17
- The shepherd and the guardian of our souls – 1 Peter 2:25
Do any of these attributes speak to your heart more than another? The last two are my favorite… He is a victorious warrior and the shepherd and guardian of my soul. Who could want anything more? Please feel free to add your attributes of God in the comments section and also add the reference for where you found the attribute. I would love to add more to my ever growing list!
I also found this as I was researching…

Be Somebody – Thousand Foot Krutch
“Be Somebody”
I’m just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again so many times
I’m just a speck inside your hand, you came and made me who I am
I remember where it all began so clearly
Trying to trace my steps back here again so many times
I’m just a speck inside your hand, you came and made me who I am
I remember where it all began so clearly
I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
And you create in me something I would’ve never seen
When I could only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don’t believe, I hope that they see you in me
After all the lights go down, I’m just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry, how you’ve become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You’re the only one who knows who I really am.
We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are.
We all wanna be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far.
And we’re all see through, just like glass
And we can shatter just as fast
That light’s been burned out for a while,
I still see it every time I pass
It was lost in the corners of my mind,
Behind a box of reasons why
I never doubted it was there,
It just took a little time to find and even when…
I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
And you create in me something I would’ve never seen
When I could only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don’t believe I hope that they see you in me
After all the lights go down, I’m just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry, how you’ve become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You’re the only one who knows who I really am
We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far
We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far
I’m just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again so many times
When I could only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don’t believe, I hope that they see you in me
Light of the world
“The light of the world cannot be extinguished and yet it seems darker than it’s ever been.” ~M
So keep your light shining! 💫
