So I've had no choice but to turn on comment registration again. Doing creative stuff makes me very, very happy though.

Building a Palace
"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.
C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity"

And, in other even more exciting news, my two favourite scrapbooking magazines, Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbooks Etc, have picked up a couple of my layouts to be published in an upcoming issue! I'm fully aware that not everyone who wants it gets an opportunity like this - and that this is indeed nothing less than a pouring out of God's favour. What an opening! May the things of beauty we create be a true reflection of the beauty of the Creator Himself.

hey congrats!!! remember to post it-i wanna see which ones they picked up, and wat they said about it ;)
