creator

today is the end of a rather long week. it had its ups and downs but wasn't too terrible. i'm dead tired as usual. that's pretty much a constant state for me during the school year. which stinks for someone who finds it utterly impossible to sleep during daylight hours :(unless it's in the morning and i was already asleep).

i've been thinking about something in sculpture lately. it gives me a whole new appreciation for creation. the Bible tells me that God made me and he knows me inside and out. of course i have always known this, but now i feel it in a much more personal way. right now our project is animals, so i (of course) am making a pig (i love pigs and collect them). what started out as a chunk of clay is now a pretty realistic pig. i can see every little flaw. i know exactly where every dent is, i know how it feels when i add a little bit, i know where i need to work on and which parts are just the way i want them. i have plans for how to fix the bits that need work. i know that little piggie inside and out just the way that God knows me. that's an amazing feeling. i thank God for giving me the artistic abilities i have so that i can feel that feeling and know it's all because of him :)
