haro everyone. Sorry this is late... this has been partly written for a while now, hahah...

This week so far has been a huge pick-up for me. Last week and the week before, I was really feeling the heaviness that I feel like a lot of people have been experiencing. It was pretty bad. I haven't felt so oppressed in so long... I was thinking this irrational thoughts about God, having this irrational doubts that just didn't really make sense...

But seriously, I think I needed it because I was starting to get proud in my head. I can't ever let up and think that I can do anything apart from God. I'm so grateful for His discipline... I really can't believe how well He knows me... It's good, because I've been having an mild identity crisis. At least Someone knows who I am :P

Otherwise, I've been pretty richly blessed. It's been a while since the Holy Spirit really moved during times of even quiet prayer for me. And last weekend was friggin incredible. Nothing like an encounter with God to blow you away and humble you to a ridiculous sense of joy that just doesn't make sense.

Updates for Lent commitments... to be honest, I think I've been using facebook and twitter a lot to make up for not using art/video browsing sites... nooo!! I've fallen into the lent compensation trap ): So I have to be more conscious about cutting that out too.

And it's been a while since I updated about my writing. I recently had to turn in my non-fiction piece... I'm honestly a disappointed, because I don't think I ended up being quite as vulnerable as I had wanted... I have a tendency to hide behind words =_=; But it will be undergoing a revision process. It's just so hard for me to make writing a worship, because I'm so control freaky about every friggin letter.

But this past week I read in Exodus 31 how God annointed Bezalel and gifted him with the ability to craft all of the items needed for the tabernacle. Wow!! Wouldn't that be awesome??? To have the power of God that gives you the ability to create the Holy things... that's like the ultimate worship.

Well, anyways. The story I wrote for class is available here on google docs. If you read, please let me know if you have any thoughts. I'm mildly terrified, but since my classmates will be telling me what they think next week, may as well blaze the path, right? So please be as harsh as you want. I already know there's a lot of work to do and it isn't all that God glorifying at this point... but writing is more re-writing than writing anyways.

Okay, coolios. See y'all tomorrow!!
