Love like no other.

"I know its ignominy, but I despise the shame—I am prepared to endure it all. I look upon the cross as the gate of triumph, as the portal of victory. Oh, shall I tell you what I shall behold upon the cross?—just when mine eye is swimming with the last tear, and when my heart is palpitating with its last pang; just when my body is rent with its last thrill of anguish, then mine eye shall see the head of the dragon broken, it shall see hell’s towers dismantled and its castle fallen. Mine eye shall see my seed eternally saved, I shall behold the ransomed coming from their prison-houses. In that last moment of my doom, when my mouth is just preparing for its last cry of ‘It is finished;’ I shall behold the year of my redeemed come, I shall shout my triumph in the delivery of all my beloved! Ay, and I shall see then, the world, mine own earth conquered, and usurpers all disthroned, and I shall behold in vision the glories of the latter days, when I shall sit upon the throne of my father David and judge the earth, attended with the pomp of angels and the shouts of my beloved!” Yes, Christ saw in his cross the victories of it, and therefore did he pant and long for it as being the place of victory and the means of conquest. “I,” said Jesus, “if I be lifted up, if I be exalted,” he puts his crucifixion as being his glory."

TODAY IS THE DAY

Two years from today Pat died.
I'll never forget this day because it is the day after my birthday.
I don't think i can write another blog about it.
But if you go HERE you can read all about her.

BAM pladow!

The end of all things is near. 
Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, 
faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. 
If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, 
so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. 
To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. 
Amen.
1 Peter 4:7-11

So if you're pretty close to me, you know i've been heavily obsessed with k-pop since October.
This is a video of my favorite member of one of my favorite groups 2ne1.
This is Minzy, i absolutely love her. She's a bomb dancer... considering she's only 15 in these clips.
She's 16 now, she just had her bday a few days ago. Yeah, i actually know that.

So i found a pair of black flats at a garage sale a while back. One of the shoes was broken, the top leather was almost completely detached. But i got them anyway with a little fixing up in mind.
The original. Cute, but no unique pazazz.

 

I took out the top leather and replaced it with quilting thread.

Here is the finished product:

  
love 'em.

Oh and i love that i got these for ten bucks today.

Any day now.

    party.

Ho-man.
I found this little ditty tonight.
It was my one of my first attempts at a movie.
I didn't have a camcorder, but i had a camera!
Watching it now, it's painfully slow and doesn't need to be 8 plus minutes long.
I just used so many more pictures than necessary. But the end picks up.
After watching the whole thing again. I love it.
My head was ALWAYS on things such as this when i was 17.
