Did you know I use to be homeless. As soon as I said that to Paul at the Grill & Chill yesterday, he said "Praise God". I also put the shirt imagery together in agreement with what the group chose. In the back I included an old school Hebrew type scroll with all our names on it. Mission Honor Grad. Alpha 118

Grace said celebrate me drawing on my drawing monitor again, because of the replacement power supply the brand was prompt to send me. Here is one of her characters, Badwulf.

In my dream,

she literally tells me she's pregnant,

and I see the bump in her belly.

In real life,

metaphorically we created a life together,

and now it's growing inside her.

I took it to one of my many preparations in Alpha, asking God to reveal a message, reading the scripture, and creating a sermon. This is from Hosea 2: 6-23. It's the beginning, there's more to come in the story. (side note: a part of it connects with Ephesians 5:22-33)

After my "harloting", God brings me back into his fold, taking away what calls my attention to "harloting". As I'm transitioning away from that life, He takes me into a dry place of survival, where the only comfort is in my connection with Him, and God comforts me, and blesses me. The blessings feels so good, it is like in my youth enjoying getting to know God, enjoying God, with all of me, before the transitions and separations into "harlotry", took me away from Him. It is remembering God with all of me, dedicated to Him, one with Him. All His. God loving me like a husband loves his wife, and me loving and dedicated to God like a wife loves her husband. Out loud I am God's people and he is my God. One life moving forward into eternity.

New models, test poses. I did some from the Wah Lum Prayins Mantis style that I know. She's doing one from towards the end of the Little Open Gate sequence. He's doing a riding horse stance from the basic horse stances.
