A Simplified Day.

Week 3 (of 1/16/11), drawn on 1/22/11

The Secret Place. (“intimacy” is written on the trunk) inspiration: here. Heidi Baker is an amazing woman, and i long to be as much in love with Christ as she is. this video revealed so much, and only God could have led me to encounter it.

PS: sorry this is really late. i drew it on time, i just couldn’t find the time to put it up.

PPS: this is my first time drawing a tree :D it was loads of fun.

Week 2 (of 1/09/11), drawn on 1/12/11

this was a life-changing week. (refer to link under “inspiration #2”) i praise God for opening my eyes; thus, i can say that i dedicate this to Him. i dedicate everything to Him. this week (Monday) i started reading the Bible— right from the beginning. i am now in the middle of Genesis. i aspire to finish reading the entire Bible by the end of the year! i don’t think that i’ll find this to be a problem because when i read His Word, i get this unexplicable feeling. i feel right at home; i feel that everything is right. i feel all my problems melt away, and it’s just me and God. i feel so much joy.

Profile of the Obsessed.

inspiration #1: “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan. this book has definitely challenged me, and this is where i directly got the phrase “profile of the obsessed”
inspiration #2: basically summed up in what i wrote here.

other writing/scribbles in the picture:

(the cross) - “profile of the obsessed, what does it take, discipleship”
“my hands for You and Your glory forevermore, for the expansion of Your kingdom”
“not with gold or silver but with the pure blood of Jesus Christ” (Acts 3:6)
“what can i give but my life?”
“don’t need planes or cars”
“release your inhibitions”
“not my life…”
“unperplexed, daring, unafraid”

Medium(s): Black Sharpie, fine felt-tip black marker, pencil

alright.

i’ve decided to make this a 52 week project just because 1) it’s easier and 2) i won’t feel forced to find something meaningful in a way and draw it. it’ll allow for me to weedle out the really important things and focus my energy/time into making it look pretty :)

so there. i’ll be putting another one up really soon!

“Widen your horizons” is what Tom LeFroy said in the movie “Becoming Jane,” which I watched today! It’s about Jane Austen, who is one of my favorite authors. It’s a really good movie and reminded me how powerful words are. So, I felt compelled to write the phrase, this phrase, that, in the movie, basically enabled Tom to win Jane’s (played by Anne Hathaway) heart. Teehee.

PS: I’m not really happy with this drawing. I tried my best to make up/cover up some mistakes I made.

Sunday, January 2, 2011 (2/365)

Today could be summed up in 2 things:

some REALLY good filipino lunch i ate today (tokwa’t baboy and gotta with chicken <3)
having to gather up perseverance to break through my extra-lazy-phase i created during break so that i could actually finish my homework. which i did!

Today’s sermon at HGC reminded me that I can’t keep certain things in my life devoid of God… it’s just impossible. I gotta keep reminding myself that yes school has to everything to do with God, my attitude has everything to do with God, my self-control, what i decide to wear tomorrow…chyeah. It takes perseverance to remind yourself of that daily. But then again, even one’s perseverance can’t be mustered up without God’s help ;) So I combined the words ”tummy,” representing my euphoria from today’s amazingly delicious lunch, and “tenacity,” which means perseverance.

It says: “Hope for the year, dread for Monday.” Christmas/winter break went by extremely fast, and I’m still shocked that in 2 days it’ll be Monday. Nonetheless, I’m excited for 2011 - graduation year! I’m a whole different person compared to who I was 4 years ago, and I only have God to thank for that. Here’s to another year of moulding…
