popsicle stick dolls
the idea was to make something that would be fun to play with in the sand at the BEACH. so this way, the sticks can..stick into the sand and the dolls will stand up...hopefully. we'll find out. i also made male popsicle stick dolls - a soldier and a surfer.
a little girl asked me to make her a butterfly, so we'll see how that goes. if it succeeds, i'll post a pic of it. maybe even if it doesn't succeed. her little brother then said, "i need a fuffer fie too." i love kids, they're just so incredibly adorable and ingenius!

how would you like to be laughed at
this sweet little duck thought it was completely hidden and safe from the outside world...
I guess we made such a commotion that it decided it would give up trying to hide...

do you....
...know that feeling where things in life are being a little rough to handle on your own, and you want to ask for help but you're too afraid, and everyone just looks at you, waiting for you to do something, watching you crumble in front of them, and they sit there, unmoving, judging you with their eyes, and you continue to crumble but try to hide it, and then discretely try to pick up the broken pieces while they aren't looking, and stuff them in your pocket where they'll be temporarily safe until you find some glue to put them back together?
then later, another broken piece falls off and you begin to cry, but you immediately get some glue and stick it back on, a little better this time since you were in the safety of someone who has never and will never judge you. but you still feel like a cracked piece of pottery that has crumbled and been stuck back together with a glue stick with missing pieces and holes everywhere.
me too.

but what most people don't know, and don't care to know, and selfishly push away, is the truth about our loving Savior Jesus Christ who never fails to come and heal our hurts. no matter how bad we have messed things up. no matter how much hurt we have. GOD IS BIGGER! there are so many times that i would like to go back and fix something i did in the past, or change the way something happened, or delete a few things here and there. but we can't do that. BUT GOD IS SO FAITHFUL to forgive. He wraps his loving arms around us and gives us His promise that He will never leave or reject us.
so PLEASE tell me why in the world i would want to go on living my own life doing who knows what with who knows who with no regard for His neverending, never failing love? i don't. and i don't live within a boundary of rules of wrong and right, I LIVE WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF GOD'S LOVE WHO GAVE HIS SON SO I DON'T HAVE TO DIE. I AM UNWORTHY OF THAT LOVE, BUT HE GIVES IT ANYWAY. SO I WANT TO SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE DOING THINGS THAT WILL PLEASE HIM, NOT THINGS THAT ESSENTIALLY SPIT IN HIS FACE. and if you don't like it, that's ok because it's not YOU i am trying to please.
i cannot change what you think you know about me. therefore i cannot dwell on the sadness that could overwhelm me because you think you know who i am and what i am about. but someday, if you care to know, i will tell you. until then, i'll continue to unconditionally love you whether or not you believe me.
