The Meditations of My Heart

Here are some more images I have edited over the past week. I decided that I am going to start a 65 days project on my Flickr site. (www.flickr.com/photos/imove) I'll keep them on public in case you want to check it out. Basically, I'll upload an image every day that shows something I am grateful for.

This article is so amazing, and it puts to words the thoughts I have been trying to express for a while. Enjoy :) "Who do we create for? We like to picture the lone artist, toiling away in his studio for hours, producing art for art’s sake. It’s cool (kind of) to be the song writer who writes music only for himself and doesn’t sell out to the masses. Stay true to yourself. Stay true to art. But I don’t really buy that. Our creative powers come from God. He gave them to us to be used for His purposes. I don’t get to decide what I want to do with my talents. I can’t write music for the music’s sake. So then why do art? Why take photos? Why organize a room? Why create a spreadsheet? What should be our driving motive? Isaiah 43:6-8 gives purpose to every project: I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold; bring wmy sons from afar and wmy daughters from the end of the earth, 7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed...

Sorry I took me so long to post this! This past Saturday, I received my acceptance letter from Waynesburg University! I was/am so excited, and thought I would share the good news with you all. Also, I wanted to let you all know about a give-away! If you are a blogger and are interested in having a new header made for your blog, put your name in a comment and a way to contact you. I'll put the comments on moderator approval only so your personal info won't be published. When I randomly pick the winner, I will get in contact with you to start the designing process. This give-away is not limited to only people who follow the blog, so tell your blogging friends about it too!

Today is the one year anniversary of my blog! So in order to celebrate, I am going to try to do a follower collage. If you are interested in participating, send me your most favorite picture (it can be one you have taken, or one off the internet) and one way that God met you in 2009. I will create a collage out of all of the images and post your quote under it. Email or message me by January 9th with your submission and it will be featured on my blog the following Monday. Here are a few of the things I have been doing recently... I created a National History Day Website for my Honors Modern World Studies Class. If you want to see it, click here. g to be doing one of my little sis soon :) (the picture doesn't do it much justice... it looks much better in person.) I sent in my college applications and have been fighting with Agora about sending my transcripts. I have been doing various GIMP 2 Tutorials... here are a few of the results... It's basically just to teach myself...
