What I want to do.
I want to please God. I know i have some sort of a gift in art and I have been praying and hoping that he will show me how I can use this medium to share his Love. I think that if I don't abuse this blessing he has given me, then I could possibly see myself somewhere in this world where my words are fenced off and that my images could hit the hearts of the lost. Who knows? All I have to do is be patient but sometimes is hard to do that...

Let Him take of it.
I showed this to someone who i really care about. Some versus I have been praying over and some words that come from them.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
"Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God. Isiah 66:8-9
"children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." John 1:13
"Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine." Ezekiel 16:8

All of these verses talk about being birthed in the spirit of God first, before anything physical was visible. God is love. Love is born in the spirit. Love must be nurtured and grown. Love wants to do things for us. Love notices our needs before they come to pass. Love which is God only wants to be loved back. God who is Love takes care of us when we were nothing or helpless. God wants to form a nation made of us. A Love born in the spirit of God is to be respected and nurtured so it will grow. There may not be visible crops right now, or a house, or even the ability to touch in full bloom yet, because it may not be the right time, but it still must be loved, must be protected, and given prayer to grow. It does require thought because it will always be there and always has been. God says he may not form a nation (us, our family, our union) all at once, but he says before you were even born, I (God) birthed you in the spirit, and what I birth in the spirit, I will bring forth from the womb, says the Lord. So all the little hurdles and temptations, and uncertainty, and lack of knowing where to turn or go, or the obstacles along the way should not stop us from keeping our focus on God, and on what He has birthed in the spirit in us and how he has given us new life, and if we do Love Him and what He has birthed in us, then he will cover us in cloth, make our crops grow, and grow us into a nation.
All of these verses talk about being birthed in the spirit of God first, before anything physical was visible. God is love. Love is born in the spirit. Love must be nurtured and grown.
Go forth.
There are some things I have realized that is my calling in life as of recent.
1. Is to put God first no matter what the circumstance is. Things will come through him and not of this world.
2. Is to share God's amazing grace.
3. To grow, and grow more. It never ends. Never will.
4. To be patient and driven.
There are more but these really stuck out to me.

Hey
I wrote this note a year back on my phone and I thought I would share it...
Faith... What does it mean to give God all of your faith. What does it mean to trust God with all of your soul? It is hard these days to give God all of your trust because things happen in our life that we want to try to control because we are scared what is going to happen if we trust in something other than ourselves. Life on this earth is not an easy ride. Conflicts and bumps in the road hit us and sometimes hit us very hard. And when they hit we really don't know what to do with them. We are confused. We feel deep down inside helpless and lonely because you feel like nothing and no one is really there for you. You feel like you can't trust anyone because you have been beaten down and letdown by others around you. It is also very difficult for people to trust in God to lead their life as they see others around them who call themselves Christians letting others down and not giving full faith. The first person you have to give full faith in is God. If you can't fully trust God then you cannot trust anyone else the way you should. If you trust in God and give Him your entire self then He will give you that comforting peace that you are loved and that faith is all worth it. Guilt is the main cause of no self confidence.
