The Physicality of our Faith

I've ascribed to the intellectual and verbal affirmation of faith in God since I was a little girl but it has not been until I was greatly challenged with life that I was able to affirm my faith in God's ultimate sovereignty.

Currently I do not have that sense of confidence in God's provision. I can tell you that I will rely on Him and I will encourage and remind anyone who I observe struggling to rely on His promise to provide for those who love Him, but my pulse and central nervous system is not engaged in that reassurance. I am not trusting and my body is the prime indicator of my lack of faith.

So now I pray. I pray for my mind to speak or maybe arrest my physical being in a way that will absorb God's promises and send a deep inflicting peace through my bones. I meditate on these things...

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6-7

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will card for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Mat. 6:33-34

Blogettes

I get overwhlemed by the idea of blogging because I'm not a photographer with sweet photos that tell a story and not nearly as witty as some of these supermoms.

I have some cute kids though...


Uhh....lately I've been contemplating the lost definition or absurd developments of post-modern art. I'm taking an art history class right now hoping to determine whether or not I'd like to continue a degree pursuit in that field. It is slightly devistating to observe the multitude of artists and also art historians who have concluded that art today is best defined by the amount of shock value the piece or performance receives. Thought provoking art is one thing, but terrorizing the emotions is quite another. I don't need to explain anymore except to direct you to this piece by a recent Yale grad.
