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

[yeah, I totally stole this picture from my computer] I'm feeling rather wordy today. (make that inspired) Maybe it's because of the amounts of coffee I consumed, or the random sound track I'm listening to, or the breakfast that I got to eat at 10ish after dealing with a puking patient, or um, yeah, really don't know... BUT. I have an idea. And I'm excited. It will be 26 Days of Thankfulness. You know, like Project 365, except not. Stay tuned. I actually dreamed about the same meal two nights this week. [hobo dinners] I think it's a sign. Saturday Meal here we come! YUM. I am thinking about this question: "How should one spend their life and...what experiences (personal and observed) in your life support your ideas?" Maybe I will blog my answer. Some day. Halloween suddenly struck me as odd. Maybe it was the severed limbs hanging from door frames. Or the um, well, the darkness that is associated with it. Don't get me wrong, I like dressing up, a...

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...

In the which I talk about love.

So I have now been in South Africa for a week and 4 days, and at Lambano Sanctuary for a week and 2 days  :) The good news: I am sleeping at nights now. The bad news: Sometimes I go to bed before 9:30 pm. ( blink, blink ) When in Rome, neh? (that's my excuse, anyways) Me and L trying to keep warm at the soccer match. I am loving words like, clever, brilliant, boot (for the trunk), robot (for the traffic light), see you now now (which means, see you any time from now til tomorrow), pram, plaster (band-aid), rubbish bin, howzit? (my new favorite lazy greeting), cheers!, neh? (which is basically thrown at the end of any questioning sentence, or commanding sentence, or whatever sentence), this one! (when scolding, tattling, whining, teasing) and the list could go on. It's a fun game to remember and use my new vocabulary.  I am not so much loving walls and gates and locks and alarms and being stuck inside as soon as the sun sets. I am not so much loving speed bumps and in...
