"What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him." Philippians 3:8-9 This is a new series that I started back out towards the end of July, The Scripture Series . I was inspired after going on an encouragement date with a sister from Long Island and one with from our region. Usually at the end of these dates like the next day later or whenever they have the chance the sisters will write a card. And because I am me and I feel if someone gets me something I have to get them something in return, so I decided to combine the love for art and Scripture into one. But then I was like "BRAIN BLAST" why not make one for all the sisters in our campus for an encouragement for the upcoming semester and year. That was how The Scripture Series was created and this is only Part One with hopefully many more part

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 So I know I said that I was going to be back with the last one, but I still needed some time off. It was just the lack of time, but now I am back forreal forreal. I was just doing a 40-day study plan that took up all my quiet time in the morning and at night, with a combination of work, school, church, and baseball.

"From that sin by the blood of that cross, I'm yours." Andy Mineo - Tug of War It has been a while since I posted something, for some reason August has been a rough month for me, the past couple years. This August I fed off the devil's lies with a combination of writer's block. Also I did not want to be a hypocrite (which I was being) and put up crappy work. I just got back from Cooperstown from umpiring for the week so I was constantly busy and would have been distracted if I tried writing anything. But I am back and starting the month off right.
