Day 22. The Fountain Overflows by Rebecca West. I promise you, this is the best book you've never read. A glorious modernist novel by one of the smartest writers to ever sit in front of a typewriter. #thefountainoverflows #illustration #lent2016 #watercolor #rebeccawest #englishliterature #musicians

Day 85 (Good Friday) - "...make me patient in suffering..." (Romans 12:12) The entire week, as I was still adjusting to my eyeglasses, I kept repeating that verse almost like a mantra. I don't like how the pain discomforts me, I mean, who does? The pain made me limited. My mortality just weakened me. I had to take unusually long breaks in between my work. I barely had time to read all newsletters that I've subscribed to. I still haven't updated my daily reflection. I haven't read a book in a long time. It frustrates me. Until this Holy Week when God reminded me not to rush things. And He led me to this verse. #ILoveYouStPaul I have been praying it over and over again. Inspite of the pain, I still attended the activities of the church. I loved how somehow, I endured throught the Lord's help. #GoodFriday #Lent2016 #HolyWeek (at Paradise Village Libertad Butuan City)

Blessed Chiara Luce. Due to a hectic last few days, I didn't get a chance to draw something to finish my #40for40 for #lent2016 but I did draw this over the last few days as a gift for my friends' baby's first birthday. Thanks for following along and hope you had a blessed Lent and Easter. #day40 #sortof #chiaraluce #catholic #backtothedrawingboard

Don’t abandon me now! My writing brain is starting to come back. As always, please feel free to send me an ask. 

Jesus Christ, God’s eternal Son, present at creation, came in the flesh to be the mediator between God and man. He lived the life of perfect righteousness that all people have failed to live. He died as a lamb led to the slaughter, offering Himself up as the perfect sacrifice to atone for the sins of the world, once and for all. He rose from the grave defeating death itself (1 Corinthians 15:54). Bearing all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18), He lives as the appointed heir of all things (Hebrews 1:2). Jesus rules over every corner of creation, putting every enemy under His feet, while making alive—by His grace through faith—those who were dead in their sins (Romans 6:11). If Jesus has not risen, those who trust in Him are to be pitied because their hope extends no further than their wishful thinking. Their faith is futile, and they remain in their sins (1 Corinthians 15:16-19). But if Jesus has risen, then His disciples are born into a new hope—because just as death entered the world through one man, Adam, now resurrection has done the same through the incarnate Son of God, who has prevailed over the power of the curse (Romans 5:12-17). The last enemy, death itself, has been destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:26). No one took His life from Him. He laid it down (John 10:18). He laid His life down for His flock, His people. And He laid it down only to take it up again. The point of the cross was not to die, but to die and rise again, defeating the prowling wolves of sin and death themselves. Jesus said, “I have authority to lay my life down, and I have authority to take it up again.” And this is just what He did. Easter says of Jesus, He meant it! He meant to lay down His life for you! And as sure as He has taken it up again, He knows you! He is risen indeed! Happy Easter. #SheReadsTruth #Lent2016 #Heisrisen #happyeaster
