in the blink of an eye...

oh my gosh - laura is actually going to post something other than pictures and quotes.

i have no idea where to start because its been so long - but i figured i owe it to this thing we call the blogosphere - a silent friend. okay, i know i'm retarded.

actually i'm a little tired right now - but good tired. fulfilled tired. i've been unemployed for four weeks and one day. quitting my job was a scary thing to do, but i knew it was something i had to do. for the past month i've been able to catch up with so many people that i'm close to. i've been having great conversations with God. i've been running again. (i know - what is up with me?) and for more than two weeks i've been able to pour more of myself into my artwork.

i'm thinking more clearly now than i have in a really long time.

i have no idea where i'll be in a month or 2 or 3 months from now - maybe i'll still be here and still be able to do what i'm doing. maybe not - maybe i won't be here. maybe i'll have to get a "real job". but maybe not. all i know is we only get one shot at this. and i want to do what i love while i have the chance. and i want to serve and be obedient to the One i love while i'm here. He's kinda cool...

here's a really cool verse to ponder.

am i now trying to win the approval of men or of God? or am i trying to please men? if i were still trying to please men, i would not be a servant of Christ. galations 1:10 NIV

or...

do you think i speak this strongly in order to manipulate crowds? or curry favor with God? or get popular applause? if my goal was popularity, i wouldn't bother being Christ's slave. galation 1:10 THE MESSAGE
