My future plans...
I plan on being here at least 3 more months with 50% chance of longer.
As always God is large and in charge.
Here are some of my projects for those of you that have asked about them
(Its all about visual communication for me)
social injustice
The broken home is a problem in America. It starts with a failed parental relationship involving divorce or physical, psychological abuse in the home. The result of this social injustice has a negative effect on a single human life. As that life grows up it effects the other lives around it furthering dysfunction in relationships and giving momentum to abuse and death that affects the world around that one human life from a broken home.
The molding of a young persons’ psychological health is fragile under this kind of stress and sets the course for a life of destruction.
Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
This is a cause and effect picture. A vintage water pump symbolizes the home and it drips water into the life of a young person.
The ‘Home’ is full of life (water), The ‘Broken Home’ is full of problems, low life, dirty, corrosion.
Wollawa 8/2010
In August I went backpacking in the Wollawa Mts for 6 days. We hiked into our first camp site late at night and in the rain.. After the 3rd day of being in the rain we we’re irritated and frustrated. One morning a friend said
“Hey, it’s Gods world, He can do whatever He wants in it”.
That completely changed my perspective on life. The next few days it rained and I kept thinking about that concept of God being in charge, its not about me and how us serving Him is hard to fully understand. I realized I expect God to make me happy and serve me when I hurt or I’m uncomfortable. So instead of praying for comfort I should pray for trust in God because He knows best and that is a solid foundation to have.
Verses like these have new meaning to me because I understand why they are true.
HEBREWS 11:
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
PROVERBS 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight
