My first visit to MoMA

I like to go to museums. These are some pictures from the MoMA museum in NYC. I wanted to post about it for some time now...

My first trip to The Museum of Modern Art. (aka: MoMA ) I took tons of pictures. Here are a few favorites that are note worthy from last year. Though I enjoy all the art.

There is a outdoor portion to the museum. These were colorful statues in the garden at the Museum. I never seen anything like it before. It was so unqiue. I mean one, of them is actually purple and another green. Weird.

This was just a tree in area.

This is a tall NY city building overlooking the garden.

Inside the Museum...

 “AIDS Wallpaper” by A.A. Bronson, Felix Partz and Jorge Zontal. The word says AIDS.  I like how I have the two people in the picture. I like the blurr on the side with the gold painting. I find it really cool in juxtaposition with the abstract it overlaps. Also it shows the size of the art, it is wall paper and the composition looks so interesting. 

  

 Jackson Pollack. My favorite painter to learn about in art class. Talk about unique and interesting. He does away with a brush stroke and instead chooses to use the drippings. How inspired and creative. He's famous, that tells you it is OK to take a new route in art.

 Sticker labels on a board. Hmm... Interesting. I am not sure how this is art? It could be abstract... yeah? It's complex and yet so simple. but it is here for all to see. That is modern!

 This is one of the well known and famous Monet paintings. The entire wall is covered with it as you can see. I have seen Monet's art in books but I never knew they were this big.

I really like pointillism art. This painting is one of this style. I really like this piece. I took a close up of the detailing on it. It is amazing! I'd like to try it myself one day.

 This is the first time I have seen the actual painting by the famous artist, Frida, in person! I was excited, but also shocked at how small this painting is.

Here are some more modern pieces that are considered art.

 These last three works of art have a  visual appeal and use their unique environment. The first one I like because it says something positive and enlightening (no pun intended), that is rare in modern art. The last one looks like a hammock. The second one is just pretty. So that is some of the more modern art pieces, I saw at MoMA.
You can see more of things like this if you go to the MoMA website. It is all online. You can get the names of artists, the time period and other information you might like to know about. This collection is from the summer of 2011. Check it out!

It's never too late...

As time quickly goes on this is bringing about many new thoughts and ideas for future goals .

Today I looked at some old videos of me doing cool things, dancing, singing, acting all for the glory of God. I was in recitals and church activities. I did awesome things.

I realized I saw a truely walking by faith, trusting God, kind of Girl. I saw a girl with ambitions. Even though I still had typical teenage struggles and issues, I still made something of myself. I still found ways to use my talents and abilities for God's glory.

Fast forward back to today and I look at my life today... and I see I have found a way to live some what safely. I have my first book and Chior membership. But I have slowed down. I have almost forgotten the race for Daylight. Using every moment to glorify God. Using every day to fulfill a need for others in need.

Many of ideals have been put out of sight and out of mind. I wonder what it would be like if I recaptured the hope of fulfilling what I did as a girl. Maybe being a doctor is not too difficult to achieve. Maybe staying in chior and singing my heart out is not too dificult either. Nothing is too hard if God is for me.

This past week, I have decided to rise up to the challenge. to be used and live totally for God's glory. I challenge you to do the same. Don't bottom out, rise!!

Are you going to be more than you were last year. The choice is yours to stop being fearful and stop making excuses. I challenge you as I challenge myself to believe in God. I challenge you to charge forward believing God for the impossible.

It is not too late to do more things for the glory of God.

I like this Quote by George Elliot--- "It's never too late to be who you might have been."

A Musical Life

Life is like a story or a journey. You can write it each day when you get up in the morning , go out the door or when you do anything. Life goes on and on and on. It’s a continual musical song. You can sing along or sing your own tune. But the best way to get along in life is just to sing along. Ride the wave and go with the flow. And sometimes, when you feel ready you can write you own new song. Life is just like that you know.

Quote for the Day

Each year brings new ways to see things and new ways to change for the better. This is all apart of life and maturity. Hopefully we all grow to become radiant people who make the world better. Peace and love.

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself
endlessly." Henri Bergson

In case you are wondering Henri Bergson was an influential french philosopher in the eary 20th century.


Have a GREAT DAY!

God's Blessings

Behold I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. Deuteronomy 11:26-28

As the 2012 progresses, I feel challenged with this verse in Deuteronomy. I have to make the choice daily, which will I choose, to obey his word and have life or disobey and turn aside and be cursed?
I choose Life and to obey!

How has God challenged you this year to begin to follow him more closely and obediently? I think it is a surrender of the will.

New Years Resolutions for 2012

Stay focused on God. Where you put your focus is where your strength and momentum will come. Every decision you make is a building block to tomorrow. Be precise in your goals and ambitions. Most of all put God's desires before anything else and he will lead the rest.

Don't just have existance have substance. Discipline yourself to know Gods positive promises. Where ever you go they will help you live.

Aspire to be right with God first and always led by God's spirit.
