Today was a completely take my breath away crazy good day...
God has just showered me with privilege...not only am i at college pursuing a career that i just love...i'm getting the opportunity to just reach all those who have any sorta' contact with me on a day to weekly basis...
Today it was just a culmination of all the things i've done in this first month that i've been here....
My art project which some of you may know as the Bible Bashing project....where for the past few weeks i've torn apart Bibles for my 3D foundations class trying to make an abstract modular piece
a modular piece is a sculpture that is made out of tiny little things..like one guy made a gorilla outa' hangers and got famous for it...
well God said to me in the dollar store when i was looking for materials....he just said BIBLES
and i was like what...Bibles? dollar stores have Bibles?
so yah they do i bought some and God just put this vision in my heart of a Bible just being ripped apart..and the pages flying out...sorta' like a whirlwind, fire, bush, tree...crazy things...and i was just blown away by that...
but as i worked so hard to get that real..it didn't work...
but i did twist the Bible and warp the back..and have all these pages flying out...which was really cool...
and we had to have one word to describe a process that occurs in nature...to describe...it...
and mine was gonna' be transformation...like how the Bible transforms you...and God does and all this stuff...but
as the critique or our projects started...he said...it's not about you...it's about me...your word is Love...
and it fit so well...
to just look at this completely trashed Bible that has all these cuts on the back..and all the inside coming out just to show love
and it's not gold plated it's a humble $1 paper back Bible that's giving it's all just to stand up...on this plain strait out...piece of wood...that's rigged with fishing line holding it in place...
I felt like i had crucified Christ...and so i...
told them my word was love..and they just all got it...
they were like the spine looks like it's been whipped like Jesus...and it looks like it's just giving it's...
and the inside is coming out...and they said it looked so POWERFUL...and that it wasn't just a weak feeble Bible...
i take no credit for any of this artwork...it was completely God all the way...i just praise him with all my heart....
