Week 3; Jan 16-22

Top photo - my attempt at bokeh photography. taken in my room, with my purple christmas lights.
Middle photo - just something i took a pic of when i was painting my painting for this week. you can see the color diffusing through the water and i thought it looked beautiful haha.
Bottom photo - my painting for this week. a bokeh-inspired painting.

not gonna lie, this week was VERY stressful. the things in my life just went a bit haywire; everything just squeezed my brain. after my panic attacks, lawl, i calmed down because i know God makes everything better. even through the times i find that my life seems blurry and unfocused, God still pulls me through. His love lifts me. His love fills me. He lets these things happen for a reason and even though for a moment i may break down and cry and whine and etc, i accept it. because God won’t bring me to it if He can’t put me through it.
As Psalm 103:11-13 says:

¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
   so great is his love for those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
   so far has he removed our transgressions from us
¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
   so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

even though we do wrong towards God, He still loves us. and it always continues to amaze me how compassionate He is towards His children. Do you know what compassion is?

–noun 1. a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.
ALLEVIATE THE SUFFERING. how intense is that? this week, God showed his compassion towards me. i know i could always turn to Him when i’m feeling down or depressed because He cares. because He wants me to turn to Him. not because He needs me to, but because He knows i need to.
sorry bout the rant, im not gonna do this every week
but i feel like i needed to share this.i hope you get something from this (: God bless.

About Me

I'm not a painter nor a photographer; but both are things that let me create my own meaning.
Art is creating your own meaning.
Ever since my mom bought me a painting kit in elementary, acrylic paint, I couldn't put the brush down. But after few years I had no time for it and kind of forgot about it. I did it once in a while, when I felt I needed a release. I'm not a pro. My paintings aren't perfect but that doesn't matter. And I want to do a painting every week. Not for people to see, but for me. But I do want you to see how painting and photography for me lets me create my own meaning, my own expression. I thank God for art. We, ourselves, are art. We are God's masterpiece. And I am inspired by Him. Also thank you to my wuuvy<3 for supporting me. I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for his support.
