20-minute belly-aching laugh-a-thon

i used to draw horses a lot.
as a kid, i was obsessed with killer whales, dolphins, horses and dogs (skill am...)

as i was doing some sketches for my dad today, for a children's sermon, my brother decided to join me...

my initial sketch of a castle and a 'knight' guard guy (i dont know ho to draw armored faces...yet...btw. the actual poster is supposed to be made completely out of construction paper...not paint, not marker o_o)

i was getting sleepy (it's almost 2:00am - after taking daylight saving's time into consideration...) and decided to doodle a bit and draw a "pansy-turned-superhero"...
but then my brother saw and decided to bloody him/them...
by adding in some toughguy with a bandana and machine gun...

(no, this is not why we laughed.... and no, i did not draw the nipplege... -_-;;)

What came after, though was a sudden urge to sketch a stallion to go with the knight guard guy~
(yeah, the train of thought didnt really connect from one to the other...hence, i shouldnt really be calling it a train of thought....right....... sadly, i have to think-tell myself to 'shut up' quite frequently...)

anyway, a rearing stallion looks like this:


the pictures i used to draw looked somewhat like this:

(not)

and Joseph (who is actually REALLY talented and can bust out sketches of rifle/machinegun holding macho men in 2 seconds, and who can usually draw 20 page full length cartoons of whatever's in his head) should have AT LEAST drawn something like this:

but he drew:

.... some t-rex armed, kanga-horse. OMG.

upon seeing it, a 22 year old (me), a 19 year old (deborah) and a 14 year old ran around in circles impersonating what we imagined to be THAT, while dying from stiffled laughter.

try acting out that horse thing-a-ma-bob eating grass...

God makes me cry - everyday

Mom's always said I'm "독하다~" and such for my lack of tears; for my absolute control (more so, suppression) of [negative]emotions...

but I can't deny how God touches, how God heals
and just how God has made me.

He said "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matt 12:28). I so often find myself physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually drained, but find a new source of strength and renewal whenever I praise and worship; whenever I do what I was made to do.

John 4:23-24 says, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."


Sometimes I feel like I'm cheating, because I feel like I get so much out of worshiping that I really don't know if I'm praising God, or if He's just pouring down His spirit and blessings upon me.

God is good [all the time]

Here I am, Oh God
I bring this sacrifice--my open heart.
I offer up my life. I look to You, Lord
Your love that never ends
Restores me again
So I lift my eyes to you, Lord
In Your strength will I break through, Lord
Touch me now, let your love fall down on me
And I will be complete in You.
 
Here I am, Oh God
I bring this sacrifice--my open heart.
I offer up my life.
I look to You, Lord.
Your love that never ends
Restores me again
 So I lift my eyes to you Lord
And by faith, I will walk on, Lord
Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day,
And I will be complete in you.
