the last few weeks...

hi friends...i just realized its been over 2 weeks since i have updated this thing and really - its because a lot has been going on and God has been teaching me so much and the irony of it all sometimes is that the times when you really want to remember all your learning and write it all down, are the times when you are too busy to...hmmm

anyways...

quick update on the team - last thursday we did some team arting (pictures? not yet...i'll take some this week...we're still working on it). it was fun, and its turning out really cool. basically we gave everyone art supplies and set out one piece of cardboard and chose a verse for inspiration and started creating...:) i'll let you know how it all turns out. haha

and this past sunday morning me and 4 others set up canvases onstage during the worship at our church and painted during one service, drew during the other. this past week concluded a series called "MORPH" at Edinbrook - based off of a book written by Pastor Ivan Veldhuizen. all about letting God transform us - from the inside out. really morph us into who He designed us to be.

so we set up canvases and on the first one - drew a broken heart. on the second - the heart being put back together. on the third - drew that same heart being cleaned off. and on the fourth - the heart, pure and clean. after it was broken and re-formed God's way, with His hands, in His time. beautiful.

and its just a cool picture of how God wants to work in us! if we just let Him break us, and take out the stuff thats hurting us - He can then put us back together - the RIGHT way, and clean us off, refine us until we are pure, and perfect, and healed and everything He is calling us to be. we dont do it ourselves, and it wont happen until we really allow Him to get in and do what He needs to do.

i love SO much working with people who are not only willing to, but also EXCITED about letting God use their gifts. love it. such a blessing.
