Daisy

Well, it was taken months ago, but it still looks cute:) So enjoy looking at it. Oh, I love summer for such a simple beauty. And looking forward to the next one already.

...Ромашка...Так просто, без излишеств, но зато как красиво!!! :)

Drawings......Эх, это была моя рука.....

Разбирала я тут старые бумаги и наткнулась на ЭТО. Да, художник умер во мне ещё в зародыше. Мир исскуства, плачь!!!:)

My attemps to draw. They remained just attempts.

....Свет.....

Тьма не может победить свет, но свет ВСЕГДА побеждает тьму.

Darkness can never overcome light, but light always overcomes darkness.

It's snowing!!!!!!!!!

Білі мухи налетіли,
Все подвір'я стало біле.
Не злічити білих мух,
Що летять неначе пух.

Галю, Петрику, Кіндрате!
Годі, ледарі, вам спати!
І побігли до санчат.
Галя, Петрик і Кіндрат.

Геть летять з гори щодуху,
Щоб спіймати білу муху!..
А санчата їм усім
Змайстрував старий Максим.

Does she really think she has enough strength to move this tree??? Oh, she is just practising before trying to move A MOUNTAIN.:)

Перед тем как двигать горы, надо практиковаться на чём-нибудь помельче:) (Может, всё-таки, с кошек начать?:)

oh, no title

Me and the flower.

My Sister

This is my sister. Her name is Nelly. Many people used to think that we were twins. Well, guess, now they don't think that.

Моя младшая сестрёнка Нелли. Похожи? :)

My Dad's Jubilee

On the 4th of November we celebrated my father's birthday. Well, he's 50 already. Congratulations!!!!!

Четвёртого ноября моему папе исполнилось пятьдесят. Вот так вот.

A Trip to Slobodishce. Поездка в Слободыще.

The very morning of the trip to the village. ...The weather was not very pleasing.
...And take a look how Vova parked at the bus stop. Such unique guys can be only here:)
...Утро перед посещением. ...Погодка была не очень...



Vova said a few short words...for 40 minutes... to the church.
This church is so unique here. It consists of 20 grandmothers, even thier Pastor was a woman as they didn't have a believer man at chuirch. Now Vova, a young deacon, takes care of this church and goes there every weekend on the servises.





Then we had a meeting with the kids who were at the camp this summer. Must say that the life in a villige in Ukraine is very boring. So the kids wait for the guests from Vinnitsa very much.






So we played games with them.







These kids are so nice. I hope they will exept Christ to their hearts so that He will brighten their souls and lives.





The game for the real MEN!!!














Then there was a lil play.













Oh, I was there too :))














...Буває...
























On the way back.

Comments to I.Murdoch Sandcastle"

Well this book is about how 40 years old man having a wife and two kids fell in love with 20 years old girl. His life wasn't a success and having fallen in love with the young artist his life seemed to become bright and full. He intended to leave his wife and kids, but the circumstances didn't let him to leave his family. So all those 300 pages were about how the circumstances of our life keep us from making our dreams come true and that we all are the prisoners.

Actually, I "hated" reading this book because it was about treatery, but I had to finish reading it as the teacher at my Uni recommended to read it. So now I'm trying to make a conclution what was all about that I spent time reading that book.

Looking from one side the man wasn't right to leave the family, but the author was trying to say that he wasn't happy with his wife, but all people have the right to be happy. I asked myself what it is "to be happy". He said that he didn't love his wife. I asked what love was.

There are so many husbands and wives leave their spouses in order to find the happiness. I don't judge anyone but my heart feels sad when I hear that such things happen in the life.

Yes, the character had the right for happiness. He had the right to make his wife happy. What did he do to make her happy? Nothing. HE DID NOTHING. How could he demand for happiness complaining of circumstances? If he went to that young girl, yeah, he would feel emotions of pleasure thinking that that was true love that he had been looking for the whole life. But in the course of time the emotions would cease, so what that meant, that it was the time to go to find another source of emotions?

Once some man said to me that LOVE WAS A CHIOCE. First I thought that he was so strange to say such a thing about LOVE. But later I understood what those words meant.

God is Love. So if God lives in my heart that means that I have love already, do I need to pray God saying:"Oh, God, please send me love." I guess not. So this is what "love is a choice " about. The choice is about whom to give THE love that is already inside of my heart. And if we made this choice already there is no way back. I can only imagine what would happen if Jesus started to move backwards, where I would be if it wasn't HIS LOVE. He gave His love to me when I hated him making sin. He did it already when I still was the sinner. He had ALL rights to be happy, but he choose to suffer to make me happy. This is what LOVE is about. I am so sure He didn't feel pleasure hanging on the cross, but so much LOVE was there.

And it is THE TRUE LOVE what people talk about so much, but after all they have no idea what it is.

Well, I don't think that LOVE is just pain. After Jesus resurrection He was taken to Heaven to His Father. I am sure that He is happy now, His love isn't over, His love endures forever and it's really thrilling to get to know His true love to me, He is happy because through His love He made me happy.

Well, that is what Love means to me......................

My Sunday School Class

This is my Sunday school group. A large responsibility lied down on my shoulders, I must say. And this responsibility is that I don't have any right on a mistake. I must be perfect, I must be an example to follow. Seems what I can do if I see these kids just for 2 hours per week. But, actually, I do something that influence their life a lot. By what I say, how I behave, how I solve the problems inside the class, how I posses the power to explain whether the kid was right or not, or to praise a good behavior. Sometimes these daily situations touch their hearts more then the Bible story with the Truth that I tell them (which is necesssary without reserve). From one side it seems to be difficult a lot, but with the Lord's help it's so easy to do!!! I'm so thankful to God that He let me to be a witness and to be an instrument in His hands to lead the kids to salvation.

God is Creator

This picture is really confirmation that God doesn't make copies.

This is my friend, Natalie, and I. She and I both have eyes, noses, lips, but they are so different.

Praise the Lord!!!

......Ring, ring, lil ring.......

I read these thoughts of some girl and I was laughing so much. I don't know if it is funny for you, as it might be just Russian humor. Anyway, I have translated this text into English. And if you don't like it, please, don't judge me too severe:)


RING, RING, LIL RING

Written by Mary D.
Translated by Inna M.

An engagement ring … such a long desirable dream. The same as in the American movies: a romantic scene, the sea, palms, either moon and stars, either autumn maple park or a nice party. Whatever ….It’s romantic anyway. It’s such an event! He's speaking quietly, just for her, but a whole world hears: "Marry me". …Soft mewing: "Marry me." Well it's possible to pronounce it even on exhalation, as if worrying and strangling... anticipating the future happiness or the horror of the phrase that has just escaped by chance?.....After it there must be a pause. …..Not a very long one and not very short. ….All is well if it’s moderately. Are the eyes happy? No, not happy, but rapturous! Rapturous? This is too much. It is not good to splash out the emotions and latent expectations at once. The eyes... What should I do with the eyes? Maybe I should look "askance, head bent low"? Oh, maybe I should get up and practice at a mirror? Inclining the head, peeping downward, giving a mysterious look from under eyelids. Yaiks! It’s some lunatic or so! In addition, let out saliva from the corner of mouth for more complete likeness. What muck!

No, that won’t do. We should start from the beginning. With agitation and easy aspiration: "Marry me….” ("Oh, at last, five years haven’t passed yet! Ripened, congratulations! Where were you so far? Were thinking? Such a dimwit, aren’t you? And what if children will take after you?") No, wrong again. Thoughts are creeping in wrong direction. Need to concentrate on the unusual side of the moment, on the coming happiness, a large and light love. Well, go, go, and go again: "Marry me…." ……Oh, is it really that necessary? What, on the large account, is the use of it? What do you mean ”what?” - Here is HE, dear, near you. You wake up with the first rays of the sun every morning and see him - darling, that one man, unique. Wish it could be true! You are awaken up because he is snoring foolishly in sleep. You poke him up by an elbow, he turns to other side and snoring again. That’s on such an early hour! And it's Sunday. The most favorite day, when it’s possible to sleep long and have a clean conscience. Shall I clutch his nose or something to stop him snoring? It’s a bad habit to sleep with the open mouth. That is why you snore. Probably, it’s an irreversible process: the air enters the mouth, and goes out from the nose. That’s how snore effect appears.

And again that’s not that. Where is the romance? Let it will be this way: unexpected phone call: "I’ll be waiting for you at an old fountain at seven tonight "……. It's winter. At a fountain? Couldn’t you find a better place? The streets are like glass. Shall I put on the boots or high-heeled shoes? Guess, the boots. The legs are so frightful in them. Then the boots will be better with pants. The legs won’t be visible. Ok, how do I look? That’s disaster!! All right, let it happen near the fountain. And I shall put the high-heeled shoes. I will limp there somehow for the sake of such a case. There he is… trampling down at the fountain. You are frozen to the bone! And who asked You to choose such a place? It would be so good to meet in the cafe. It’s near the bus stop. It wouldn’t take so long to go, and you wouldn’t be frozen. Yeah, yeah, stay there! And I will walk especially slowly, so you could see how I suffer on high heels on the ice. Hey, turn to me, don’t you see me? I am from the other side of you. You must feel my presence. Feel it with your each cell. Each? Oh, how many do you have? …Judging his insensibility (not being able to turn round and look to my side), he is the simplest… One-celled creature! I’m gonna fall now and I break my leg. I will yell pitifully, as the wounded lil rabbit. Oh, then you’ll get me on your hands and take to get the aid. I will hug your neck… Firmly-firmly… Then there will be so long desirable words on a semi sigh… quietly: "…Could you make your hands weaker, coz I can’t breathe".

Oh, women are so strange … everything seems wrong to them… Will ever such woman be proposed? There is a sign written on my forehead: "Be careFOOL!!!" Men avoid such women. They don’t want waste force and time, to hit a forehead against a wall. … So that means they are not MEN at all. The real MAN isn’t afraid of any obstacle. He will fight for the love to the end. Like a medieval knight. … By the way, …about knights. I saw their armour in a historical museum. Little height, chest like a wheel, helmet like an onion. If this is what is outside, so then what’s inside? Nah, I don’t need any knight.

Let’s start over again. Back to the palms and the sea. To the light tropical breeze. To the rustle of the waves against the shore sand. To the moon and the stars. The sounds of the music are somewhere in the distance (it’s the aborigines entertain the tourists, representing exotic things). Here every man is the James Bond by the appearance look, and every woman is the Marilyn Monroe. Love and romance are everywhere, ravishing happiness and hot passion. This is the place to make a declaration of love and offer a hand and heart! …….
…Door-bell. Who is it in such an early hour? I’m just drinking a cup of coffee, and unbrushed yet, thinking about nonsense "Just a second!" Slep-slep-slep. Ouch, my slippers were worn down much at the heels - I should buy a new pair, oh, but I got used to these ones. I love old things, they are much more comfortable. "Who’s there?" - "It’s me" (We didn’t agree to meet so early). - "Come in". Roses… So many roses… Are they for me? He knows how much I love them. …The sea of roses… Thank you… " …And this is for you too..." – He shows his palm……a ring.

Oh!

The Harvest

We had a holiday at the church. It's called Harvest holliday. The central part near is decorated with fruits and vegetables. Every year the sceen is different. Well, this year, as you can see, it's decorated as a basket and it looks nice, as for meeeeeee :)

C.S.Lewis

I read a few quotations of C.S.Lewis
(he's well known writer, his the most famous work is "The Chronicles of Narnia"), they were just great, so I decided to share them with you.


"You don't have a Soul, you ARE a Soul. You have a body."


"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world."


"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else"

This quotation is so true. When people find out that I'm ( me, Inna :) a believer I'm always asked a question: "So you go to the church and that's all (well, they think that that's all), what about the rest of your life?? But I started to live THE LIFE when I got to know God, I didn't live before ... I just existed. Life only begins with God!!!!

That's wonderful. Потрясающе.

God creates, He doesn't make copies.
Бог созидает, Он не делает копий.
