I do not the good

What is it with humans and our tendency to drift away? Well, of course, it is sin but I am sick of it. Just like Paul, I am sick of doing the things I hate and not doing the things I want to do! The quote that just popped in my mind is "The road to hell is paved with good intentions..." Wow what a stab to the gut. Don't we all have so called "good intentions" about a lot of the things we do or even don't do? I had every intention of waking up and devoting quality time to the Lord this morning but didn't get to it, oh well, my intentions were good! No, that is not how God works. Yes, He knows a man's heart but faith without actions is dead and we must repeatedly practice the things in which we believe we should be doing. We must deliver our time to the Lord, for after all He did create it.

This painting sat on my easel unfinished for months until I decided to play with it and had no idea it would turn out like this. It consists of newspaper and acrylic paint. After painting the background colors and deciding to leave it my mom came in and told me the newspaper underneath looked as if someone was hold he yellow in the middle and I thought it was beautiful!! It kind of reminds me of when the Holy Spirit came down on the people's heads... not quite but oh well I hope you get something out of this artwork.

P.S. Merry Christmas Eve =)
