So here's what I want you to do,
God helping you:
Take your everyday, ordinary life
—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work,
and walking-around life—
and place it before God
as an offering. Embracing what
God does for you is the best
thing you can do for him.
Don't become so well-adjusted
to your culture that you fit into
it without even thinking. Instead,
fix your attention on God.
You'll be changed from the inside out.
Readily recognize what he
wants from you, and quickly
respond to it. Unlike the culture
around you, always dragging
you down to its level of immaturity,
God brings the best out of you,
develops well-formed
maturity in you.
(rom.12:1-2 MSG)

Who am I that You
are mindful of me
That You hear me
when I call
Is it true that
You are thinking of me
How You love me
it's amazing

I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend

God Almighty, Lord of Glory
You have called me friend

My hands hold safly
to my dreams
Clutching tightly
not one has fallen
So many years
I've shaped each one
Reflecting my heart
showing who I am
Now you're asking
me to show
What I'm holding
oh so tightly
Can't open my hands
can't let go
Does it matter?
Should I show you?
Can't you let me go?

Surrender, surrender
you whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but
can't you see?
My dreams are me.
My dreams are me

You say you have
a plan for me
And that you want
the best for my life
Told me the world
had yet to see
What you can
do with one
That's committed
to Your calling
I know of course
what I should do
That I can't hold
these dreams forever
If I give them
now to You
Will You take
them away forever?
Or can I dream again?

some band templates from illustrator
inspired me to draw these pieces. it feels
like nobody here after i have removed
visitor detector and counter. should
code them back :)
i have been creative all day. feel bit
tired but relieved that in a week it's
going to be over for a while. speaking
pretty awful finglish today, blame
(and bless) al*****ns.

often just when you thought that things
run smoothly and it's all planned
things change.
Another illustrator to entertain.

"The only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk,
mad to be saved, desirous of everything
at the same time, the ones who never
yawn or say commonplace thing,
but burn, burn, burn,
like fabulous yellow roman candles
exploding like spiders
across the stars..."

- Jack Kerouac: On the Road

"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of hand,
And eternity in an hour"

- William Blake: Ideas of Good and Evil
