Pinterest Project: bam. like a boss.

I saw this project on Pinterest and was pretty stoked to try it :) Not too shabby!


Step one: find a painting you don't necessarily adore. I got this one from my brother when he moved out of his apartment.

Step 2: choose the quote you want and cut out the appropriate letters


Step 3: stick the letters directly on the painting


Step 4: prep for painting. I chose to spray paint, so I was out on the back porch.


Step 5: apply the paint over the entire painting.. it took me about one and a half cans of white spray paint


Step 6: when the paint is dry, remove the letters and TA DA! 


Step 7: put your finished product wherever your little heart desires.
Yes, all you OCD'ers ... i realize there are crooked and uneven letters ;) 


Step 8: enjoy the scenery while you work!!! :)

Aah that is so cool! All hail Pinterest! And nice one on choosing a Mumford and Sons lyric. Respect!

PS: I saw the painting and I was like "I know that painting! I've seen it before!"

Finally caught you! You just might not remember me but we met last year during your trip to South Africa at the kids concert in Johannesburg, Civic theatre - im the random guy who asked for the Lambano contacts while running around with the camera.

Tonight playing on the net then ultimately landed on the Lambano site and just as I continue reading their blog I was so struck by the needs of the sanctuary but on the other hand how much God's provisions have blessed the place and the kids so much. There is so much of me that just wants to be at Lambano but one thing the Lord has kinda sealed that idea off with is that its not the time yet! Those kids and the sanctuary left a lil' dent on my heart dont know how to explain it but ye, its kinda creepy coz this has hardly happend...as in ever! I cannot even imagine the heart one requires to work there for years! A part of me wishes to believe that I can understand the emotions and importantly spiritual maturity thats required to be working with the kids there but im so rebuked - I haven't experienced it and there is no way I could even dare to paint that image. (sorry if that sounds all gibberish)

Please share some of your thoughts on how it had been for you working there and for how long. Would really like to know. You can mail me at bmadida@gmail.com

nothing new [under the sun]

I feel like I am in a transition place. waiting. planning. carrying on with "normal" life. anticipating the changes that the future holds. just trying to get laundry done and keep the dishes washed and the bags out of the way of foot traffic. I feel like I have been blessed with so much.   a great support network of friends. awesome church family. job = perfect for me. so many opportunities to satisfy my wanderlust this year. the black hills in my back yard. family who love Christ and love me.  that's why I was a little surprised to find myself searching. to find myself dissatisfied . i wanted more  places to go. more people to spend time with. longer nights. everyone's schedule planned around me. better experiences. more adrenaline thrills. time off work. the responsibilities to take care of themselves. why is it not enough?  because i found myself seeking for attention  or acceptance  or satisfaction anywhere other than fro...

Hello (a long, rambling introduction).

If you have been reading this blog for longer than two seconds, you most likely have been with me for some pretty painful blogging years (let's be real: they probably aren't over). Those early days -yikes. I have long held to the personal principal that I started this blog for fun, and that's how I want to keep it -however weird it may get at times. I don't want to feel like I have to produce content to keep up the page views or to sell a product or to get some Pinterest pins.  I think (ok KNOW) part of that is due to pride. In other words, if I am not feeling like I have anything to publish here that will be The Best, and get a lot of shares or comments or ... whatever... then I don't want to do it. A lot of what Amelia wrote recently resonated with me in that regard. I read a lot of blogs. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who blog. I am guilty of condescendingly rolling my internal eye-balls at people I feel like are just blogging to get the page c...
