pondering.

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." 1st Corinthians 2:9

What does this mean? Think about all the most wonderful things you have ever experienced, now think about all the wonderful things you've dreamed or wished you could experience, now multiply them by a bazillion. Guess what? That's not what God has for us. Even the most wonderful thing you can think of in your mind, the MOST wonderful thing, that's no where near what God has for us in heaven. You know how we think about how wonderful heaven will be, and we imagine all the splendor and awesomeness of it? Well God says that even all those wonderful thoughts we have about heaven, are no where near the real thing. What God has prepared for us in heaven is so beyond our comprehension, we can't even imagine how wonderful it is. That's pretty amazing isn't it? And the more amazing thing is that we are even going there. Think about the worst experience that has ever happened to you. Now think about the worst possible thing that could happen, what scares you the most. Now multiply that times a bazillion. Even that is allot better than what we deserve, but it's not what were getting. Were getting something so amazing that we can't even understand it. The more I think about it, the more unfair it seems. Someone perfect like Jesus would die for someone as sinful as me? It's not fair. In fact, if God did what was fair, I'd never even have the opportunity to have a relationship with him. But I do, he loved me so much that He was willing to give his only kid, his precious son, give him up to die and suffer for me. And I'm the last person that deserves it. It really makes me think about all the stupid things I complain about, things that I dont think are fair. When you stop and think about what you would be getting if it were 'fair' it really deepens your appreciation and awe of what God did for us. :)


Just felt like sharing...

The skittle story. :)

So I just recently got back from Shadyside park, a place where i love to chill with my third sister, Emma Blake. :) So we get there and run and blade around for a bit, get shocked my electrical fences, name horses names like buttercup and afternoon, rollerblade some more, then leave. But before we leave Kt decides to be the best sister and second-sister ever and buy us a pack of skittles from the vending machine. So she gives us a buck in change and we put in in the machine and click the number and all that jazz. Then it does that thing were the spiraly thing unspins just enough so it leaves the skittle bag hanging, but doesnt drop it.


Remember Emma and I were both hungry and tired, and man did we want those skittles. She stood guard to make sure no one was watching and I slammed into the thing as hard as I could hoping to shake it loose. But it was no use, so we went to plane b. We ran back to the car and scrounged u a few more pennies from kt hoping to re-buy it. But it wasnt till I put about 3 bucks in pennies in the machine that we realized it doesnt take pennies. hence the pile of them that kept coming out of the bottom. But being the smart girls we are, we didnt notice them till they legit started falling out of the machine, leading to another 5 minutes wasted. We headed back to the car to try and find some regular coins, and Emma finally found a couple nickels and dimes in a board game box i really dont know why we had in our car... so we go back and put all THOSE coins in only to have the stupid machine keep telling us to put in more money. By this time we had been at it at least 20 minutes and kt was about to drive away without us and our precious skittles. So we went back to the car and kt sent me back one more time to push the coin return button so she could at least get her money back. I told her is wasnt working, but she made me go anyway so me and Emma ran back and starting pushing it. And all of these silver coins started coming out. It was like heaven. :) Since all that had been coming out before were pennies.



So, being the persistent ppl we are, we loaded the machine back up with all our new found quarters, and lo and behold it worked. :) We started jumping up and screaming and after 25 minutes of banging, screaming, scrounging, and pleading with the skittles, we finally got two bags for the price of one. :) Ill tell you, skittles have never tasted so good. :)

I love art and art lessons and Mrs. Gemmell. :) Recently I've been working on a fashion project where I design an outfit, then draw a model in a scene wearing that outfit. It's quite fun and when I have my finished project, Ill post. In between that tho I was forced to do a self portrait. ;P I really really dislike drawing myself or other ppl cuz I can never get it how I want it, and to me it never ends up looking anything like the person it's spossed to look like. But I just finished it and haven't posted on my blog in ages so here it is: Id love your meanest criticism and advice. :)
