I love sculptures. Almost every time I'm in a museum, the stone and marble figures are what intrigue me most. I can't fathom how you would go about doing something like that. I would stand in front of a big rock with a hammer and chisel and not even know where to begin. And yet I see the life size forms that are frozen in a very life like moment. I love when fabric looks like it's falling. Or when the muscles of the face show that a smile was beginning.
When I look at sculptures, life seems to slow. Because I'm examining this one moment, and all the thoughts and emotions that could be coupled with it, I feel my own mind and heart slow down. And it usually takes a lot to get me to do that. I'm constantly accused of thinking too much and of being too emotional. Guilty.
Wouldn't it be neat if we could stop everything at different points of life and just look? Look at our faces and surroundings and just evaluate it all. Maybe we would understand ourselves better. And if we could do the same for each other, maybe we could understand each other better. I would like to look at your life like a sculpture.
An idea: maybe you, whoever you are, could leave a comment just telling me what you're up to. Or what's going on in your heart or head. Just a little piece of the scuplture that is your life, so that I can know. Whether I see you everyday or hardly ever, I would love that. Plus, I would see who actually reads this.
Please take 30 seconds and leave me a few words on your life. I bet it's beautiful!!

controlling a sneezing fit after attempting a room tidy up...also appreciating the christian playlist I just made up - even put in some 'in christ alone' thinking of you and your need to play it on repeat.
Well I feel bad that I read your blog the whole time you were in Ireland and while i thoroughly enjoyed reading, I was just to lazy to make an account, so I could leave a few comments for you now and then. But I am now since you asked..and I saw you last night..so you now know I read this and that I should leave a comment! :) Well to answer your question I went to a Colts game today and had a wonderful time! I'm also very excited Christmas is only 2 days away!! God bless Crista! Kaitlyn eimer
I am learning so much about my God through Grant and I's relationship... in his absence last week I learned how I need to long for my Jesus' return so much more. I am so very thankful, though, that He is always near, even in our time of wait and expectation.
I've just cleaned my front room and realised I have a silly amount of music. This morning I was reading over Psalm 16. David is so on to it. The verse that says
"The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance". is so true for me right now as i prepare for my upcoming marriage. It's overwhelming thinking upon how the God of the universe is interested in our lifes. Even now he's wondering along with me why Martin Smith from Delirious has such bad dress sense! (i have a Delirious dvd on at the moment!).
