Sweet or Sour?

A shot from a magazine spread I'm working on...


(it is inexplicably fun to doodle on lemons).

Working on this shoot today put some things into perspective...Dwayne and I are facing the probability of his truck kicking the bucket, which, well really really sucks since he depends on it for work. Not what you want to be worrying about the week before your wedding! (or the week after while in Mexico...). But its hard not to evaluate your own reaction to bad news when you spend the first few hours of your morning carefully etching the fruits of the spirit onto bright yellow lemons with a sharpie.

As the author of the article points out, grace has been given and our salvation is assured. All of the issues that really matter were taken care of at the cross. The fruits of the spirit are the tools we've been given to cope when life happens, when we decide to deny our sinful nature and embrace our savior.

There's always something to laugh about. In this case, lets start with the irony of it all...lol!

A Rarity

I havn't done this much, if ever, on my blog...but here goes a purely personal, design-less blog post. But I'll keep it brief!

I just came back from walmart, and on my way home I made a list of things that aren't my favorite. You know how you do that in your head, in a "if I had an ear to listen I'd rant until the cows came home" kind of way? It went for a bit and then I started to feel dumb...because its a gorgeous day. And so I started to list things that ARE my favorite. So there you go. Perspective.

Not my Favorite:
-when I spend $40 at walmart and get charged $5 in HST
-when my moms delicious tasting slow-cook chicken smells TERRIBLE as its cooking (...so weird, I know. but true.)
-when you finish a GREAT book and don't know what to do next

My Favorite:
-Dwyane
-my job
-my new car
-the future
-being cozy (gimme a book and a big blanket anyday!)
-chewy candies
-absolutely free salvation (i just jesus-juked myself because this should be at the top)
-creative revelations (i had a few this week)
-sunshine

and those are just the top 7 that came to mind, but I could probably go on until the Canucks win the Stanley Cup. God definitely uses sunny days to remind me that I'm blessed!
