My printer has been running out of ink for a while now. I can tell by the random, unpredictable streaks of color that show up in color prints. But on one night, the results were unforseeably magical… As the printer spitted out some pictures of Baroque interiors, I was overcome with the joy of getting to see such beautiful happy accidents! Not only are the pictures stunning, they give me so many ideas for new […]
“Yielding to Jesus will break every form of slavery in every human life.” –Oswald Chambers -Romans 6:16
“Grace is the power of God to live the way He’s called you to live. God, however, won’t give us the grace to the disobedient.

“At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him.” – Oswald Chambers – Matthew 10:27
“Imagination is the greatest gift God has given us and it ought to be devoted entirely to Him. If you have been bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, it will be one of the greatest assets to faith when the time of trial comes, because your faith and the Spirit of God will work together. Learn to associate ideas worthy of God with all that happens in Nature–the sunrises and the […]
“If your imagination is starved, do not look back to your own experience; it is God Whom you need. Go right out of yourself, away from the face of your idols, away from everything that has been starving your imagination. Rouse yourself, take the gibe that Isaiah gave the people, and deliberately turn your imagination to God.” – Oswald Chambers – Isaiah 40:26
