Deviation Actions
So today, I decided to re-read my Purpose Driven Life (because I never had the time to actually finish it up to the very end). It was probably because I was just reading it all on my own and I have no such accountability partner to read it with. So this time, I now have my best ever best friend with me to be my partner! I love her very, very much! I hope from this point on wards, we'll continue to grow much deeper in Christ together, helping each other out
Anyway, to be honest, the first time I read the first chapter… it was nothing new to me. Day 1 talks about how God is the center of everything we do how everything started with God and how our purpose can be found in God. I already knew everything written in there and I thought that it was just that. I never thought I would actually gain a new lesson again with it.
The same time last year, I was so active and "on-fire" in serving God. I wanted to do everything for Him and so I started to offer Him everything that I do. That ended up in my drawings containing God's words. As you can see, some of my deviations in my gallery are from my devotions and some are just simply illustrations to show how I felt about God. I thought that this was the best I could do for Him, and since I loved drawing, I decided to use this to serve Him. Little did I know these things that I do for Him became my "purpose" in life. I became so obsessed in drawing everything for Him until I got to the point that I ran out of any ideas to draw and I lacked inspiration to continue.
And going back to the book, I was reminded of how God created us by His purpose and for his purpose. And reflecting on my own actions, I saw that I created "my own" purpose. I felt ashamed of myself. I wanted to serve God and do His purpose but I ended up using God for my own will. At first, I thought that I was doing something good… since my works are glorifying God. But… do they really glorify God? What part of them glorifies God when I wasn't thinking of God when I did those things? God became my excuse to cover up my own selfishness. I didn't want to go out of my comfort zone so I decided that I'll just draw for Him. I thought that I am giving God the best I could do when in fact I wasn't actually giving it all to Him. I wasn't fully using my abilities and just focused on one of them. He doesn't want me to give Him a partial of my skills… He wants me to use ALL of my skills for Him!
Because we've been Christians for so long we tend to develop the habit of making God as an excuse for doing things. And that is totally wrong. WAKE UP CHRISTIANS! We were made for God, not vice versa!
Life is about letting God use you for His purposes, not your using Him for your own purposes. ~PDL (Day1)

And that's what I wanted to share with you guys! I pray that you guys will also strive to seek God everyday
GOD BLESS YOU!!

I'm making a visual novel!
Hi everyone! I really missed being involved in the DeviantArt community. It's been a while since I last wrote a journal here, and I'm not sure if some of my watchers here are still active. Most of my friends who were once active here are kind of busy with their own life now so it's been tough coming back here even after I started updating this account in the past months. But I'll still continue to post my recent art here and that includes my recent work-in-progress that I want to share with you! A quick warning, this post would be a bit long but I would really appreciate it if you're still interested to read the rest :)
For the past years si
I'm making art somewhere on the internet
I'm back once again. I know I've been on and off on this account, randomly updating and then suddenly disappearing. I've been busy with life... err, problems in life. I've been gone for too long that a lot has changed in DeviantArt: the logo, the web layout, the profile, etc. And I'm honestly surprised to see a lot of people were still adding my works (even the veryyyy old one) to their favorites, watching me and even greeted me on my birthday the past weeks even though I've been inactive for so long! I really appreciate it! So thanks guys! <3
Anyway, I've been asked by some people recently if I'm still active and still making art. Well o
Tagged once again
GabrielRaven (https://www.deviantart.com/gabrielraven) tagged me in this. Sooooo here it goes...
10 facts about me:
1. I'm not a fan of vegetables... I eat some... like 1 or 2 or 3 vegetables or more I can't say for sure haha. I prefer meat and yes I know it's not really healthy.
2. I can do a lot of household chores except cooking. Once my mom left me to cook rice and the next few minutes the kitchen was covered with black smoke. I was drawing and forgot that I was cooking rice... seriously. Now I seriously need to learn how if I'm going to live in a dorm... ^^;
3. I've just learned book binding and now it's one of my hobbies. It's the reason I'm not uploading much here in DA. Ne
Still That Girl
It's been a while since I last updated my deviant art account and recently, I just uploaded a new work which is apparently one of my completion plates for school OTL. I just hope that I could manage to upload stuff that I wasn't required to draw.
Anywaaay, I just wanted to share with you guys the idea behind this work I did~
I've been busy lately not only just because of school... it's also because my dad just got back home from abroad! Yes, after 6 years, I finally got to see him again! Although to be honest, it was REALLY awkward the first time I saw him. Seriously, the first thing he did when he first stepped inside our house was to run
