Mmmm, zombies...

Reminds me of a face and body art conference I went to in New Orleans a few years ago. Everyone painted up like zombies (these were all professionals, some with prosthetics, so it all looked VERY real) and staggered out into the night to walk the streets in a herd. I declined to participate, but I watched them congregating in the lobby as they got ready to leave, and I couldn't help but be highly amused at the reactions they got from the hotel staff. Heheheee....

Ha! That would be a sight to see.

Unfortunately, my skills are not the greatest and I had to make do with the few paint colors I had. It was a amateur, but fun.

I was a zombie two years ago as I passed out candy. I worked at a haunted house as a teen, so I remember how to do the makeup. I got the green and black and blotting with a sponge gets that perfect "rotting flesh" texture. I had a severed hand that I was pretending to chew on as I answered the door, and explained to the nice kiddies that, unfortunately, I had eaten all the brains, and only had candy to give out.

The kids were fine with it, but I think I freaked out a few parents.

It's funny how my past always seems to come back when i start thinking about my future. It's usually in dreams, taunting me that I haven't actually changed. That I will fall and break my covenant with God as soon as a guy enters my life. That I would be so weak willed, I would do something that I don't actually want to do in my heart of hearts, but somehow always give in; be convinced. They are distressing dreams. Admittedly, the feeling that I get when I awake stays with me so much that I feel that I don't want to be in a relationship. It's a feeling of utter dread.

I only 'liked' this because I can relate. Greater is He that is in you, my friend. :D

To be completely transparent (please be respectable and treat me as a sister in Christ) the dreams of are sex with past boyfriends, however I am who I am now (as a change individual, forgiven, made a covenant with God 7 years ago which I have kept thus far). It's the past meeting the present. Which fills me with dread, that I am doing something against my convictions and covenant. I am doing something that I do not want to do, but still find myself in that situation. That I have no regard. Like I mentioned before, it is so strong that I am afraid that I will still feel that dread, that my heart won't be into it if I ever marry. That I will do it only to please my husband not out of love. That fills me dread. It makes me feel empty inside, as if I am no better than a prostitute, giving my body over to a man even though he is my husband. I don't really understand all this. It makes me not want to marry. Please pray that if I am being told lies, that God will reveal the truth.

Don't buy the lies, arwen. There is a huge difference between "having sex" and making love with someone you love and trust. I pray that a loving husband who knows the difference will be the one to show you the difference.

Prayers, J.

Christians often focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limitations, allowing others to take advantage of their kindness. God is teaching me that it is okay to set legitimate boundaries, to say no without feeling guilty about it, and that my feelings are just as important as anyone else's. Not necessarily more important, but just as important.

Eeew, that's pretty gross. I don't paint blood/gore, but I know a few tricks. One is toilet paper and glue, covered with facepaint. Great for crusty falling-off skin. Yuck. The sponge works great too, and flicking "blood" on your skin with a toothbrush.

(Now I'm craving cat jerky.)

We are not ignorant of the ways of the enemy, arwen. You are in the middle of a very difficult time and satan loves to lie to us and kick us when we are down.

You are loved and you are God's. Let the tears flow. There is healing in them. Hold onto Him and know that He is and we are here for you. You're a strong, intelligent, beautiful woman. You'll get past this.
