How Iron Man 3 Flipped the Script on Female Characters | Underwire | Wired.com:

Want to see one of the most progressive portrayals of women in a blockbuster movie this year? Then go see Iron Man 3. As incongruous as it sounds, it’s true: director Shane Black and his co-writer, Drew Pearce, managed to turn female characters into the stealth stars of a superhero film about an arrogant billionaire (former) playboy by flipping the script on stereotypes about female characters and making them interesting, mature people who actually do things.

Makes me even more excited to see this movie! :)

“Our shame was deeper than the sea (your grace is deeper still)” Lyrics from “You Alone Can Rescue” by Matt Redman. Art by me.

Look for the hidden message. In this piece and in life. Things are not always as they first seem.

Huh. alot of these have to do with shame and guilt. I guess it is something I am learning ~~recently~~ basically all the time.

Perhaps I shouldn’t admit this to the internet, but making this image was pretty emotional for me…there may have been a tear or two shed while making this…..Does anyone ever feel like they’re alone, messed up, and falling beyond help, only to find that they have been in God’s hands all along? Probably. Does anyone else cry when they make something particularly meaningful? Probably not. It could also be that I’m just tired. Time to sleep.

So what I actually meant to share during RCF Senior NIght...

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:15:00 -0400

So as I was thinking about what I’d share with everyone of course the usual thoughts that came up were, ‘trust in God’, ‘it’s all about the Gospel’, ‘God will provide and take care of everything’. And while that’s all good and true, it made me wonder what that really meant. So that’s what I decided to share tonight - what God taught me about trusting in Him during college.

When I first came to college I thought this is a new beginning; I’ve left my home behind, here’s a fresh start. But I soon found out that the clothes and books I bought with me wasn’t the only baggage I had. I continued to struggle with the issues and insecurities that I had struggled with in the past. And the more I tried to deal with them on my own, the bigger they became. That’s when I began to look heavenward and God really showed me why the Gospel is known as the good news.

As a Christian I knew I had to hand things over to God, lay them down at the foot of the Cross. But by doing that, the Cross became my proverbial rug; I simply hid everything underneath it and hoped to never see them again. But that’s where God showed me that He had bigger, better plans for me. It wasn’t just as simple as praying something away, but instead He forced me to struggle with each thing. He taught me that when I relied on my own strength that I would ultimately stumble, but when I had even a little bit of faith in Him that I could move the mountains in my life (Matt. 17:20). By trusting in Him, God showed me not only how He helps me with my problems but he restores things to the way they should be, the way He intended it to be, which of course was beyond my wildest imaginations. Through His Grace, I saw Psalm 34:8 play out in my life; Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. And it’s been through this faith that I began to see how trivial the things I worried about were compared to the treasure that I had in Christ.

So I want to end with a bible verse and a quote: Matt. 13:44 says The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. And Jim Eliot once wrote, He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.

May that be what our fellowship is about - continually pointing one another to the infinite worth of Christ. I hope that in our college years and beyond that we can see more of the treasure we have in Christ, that we’d be willing to give up all we have for the kingdom of heaven so that we can gain that which we cannot lose. And through that, may the restorative power and beauty of the Gospel become more real to us than anything in this world, that’s when we’ll really begin to trust God.
