I see this compilation as a manifestation of success because truly I appreciated arts and the
masterpieces the artists had contributed both in the past century and at present. Yet, this success is not
just my own journey but it is more about Him who had been with me and the people surrounding me.

Primarily, I want to thank my God, and my Savior Christ Jesus for how He granted me patience
in this subject considering that at first drawings and paintings were a burden for me. Truly, He has
tested my faith especially that arts is out from my comfort zone and indeed I experienced failures that
were not usual to me before. I thank Him for the growth that He caused and continually causes me to
experience! Indeed, we must not complain nor grumble as Philippians 2:12 says. My journey may have
not been sinless, but God had been faithful to have made me complete it.

Secondly, I am very much grateful to my spiritual family. To my pastor, who continually

admonishes us to glorify God in everything that we do. He always reminds us that even in our drinking
and eating, in everything that we do, we must glorify God. (1 Corinthians 10:31) To my life group, I
thank them for their abounding prayers and encouragement. At times of devastation, truly, through thick
and thin we must hold on. And for the rest of the brethren, who are also steadfast and faithful in their
prayers, I thank them.

Thirdly, to my biological family that I am also beyond joyful to have. I praise and thank God that
all the more my parents exercise love and how they have been faithful on fulfilling their duties as my
parents. I cannot just thank them for my finances but beyond more the guidance and trust they have
given me. It is my prayer that as long as I live, I would be faithful to obey them as commanded by the
Lord and to be patient with them in the midst of trials.

Fourthly, I thank my adviser, Sir Juland that despite of the pressure that this subject had given
me, I have learned a lot. It is not just about appreciating arts but it was also how I will apply values in
my own life. I had my share of complaints also especially when I need to redo all my works but what
arts told me is that it is not just a mere subject that requires us to draw but a subject that tests our
patience and commitment. And I thank God that He allowed Sir Juland to be His instrument for me to
learn that.

Lastly, to my classmates who had been also my friends. I thank them for how they show their
concern. Also, I have learned that competence is shown through progress and I have seen that as well
from them.

With what this subject will bear, I have faith that it is all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Whatever will happen, I will strive to rejoice and be glad for I know that all things work together for good
and education is not an end in itself but rather just a means. Whether I may face failure or victory, I
know that God will never change.

Truly, and this all I am shouting for, in Him must be all the glory, neither for me nor for any man
in this world!
 Preface

Art is a language that depicts a story. Its primary importance is to deliver a message that cannot
be conveyed into words. These stories may speak of joy, anger, frustrations, discontent and even love.

The use of paints, pencils, sketchpad; these are only apparatuses to actualize the art conceived
by our imagination. Art starts from what our heart feels that leads to the conception of our minds.

I am not an artist of excellence; I do not have the innate ability to transcend my ideologies to a
beautiful masterpiece that would be appreciated by many. But the thing that I am sure of, the art pieces
I’m going to compile as you go through the pages speak of my disposition, my passion, and my journey.

Art and its beauty are relative. Each person should have the right and privilege to express
themselves no matter how painful it could be. Art promotes freedom and every artist must have the
liberty to share their creativity even thru difference.

My art is in poetry, but as you get to see the pieces I will create, do not judge; just feel free to
know me.

I had countless failures in my Christian life. Failures that I never thought I could still surpass
because of so much pain and hurt. Despite of these, God had caused me to remember that as His child
he will not leave me nor forsake me. And ultimately, as Apostle Paul would say, “that He who began the
good work in you is faithful to complete it at the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6) I cannot say that
the Christian life is an easy journey. We have to faithfully walk with God and live like Him, and this is
serious, this is fatal. Because by living like Him and walking with Him this means that we must
constantly seek for His will, and our decisions must be anchored to what pleases Him. I can no longer
live for myself, but for the one who had saved me from the eternal fires of hell. Some may say or should
I say most of the people I would come to meet that I am living a weird life, the kind of life that is not
usual with the world. Every time we have our PE class, people would wonder why I can’t dance with the
music of the world, why I can’t sing with them. It is because God has now cleansed me from all of my
sins and my body has now been a temple of the Holy Spirit, and being of the world is an abomination to
Him. How I hope that people might know God as He is; the God who is loving but also capable of wrath.
How I hope that this rotten world with people who seemed to have lost hope would see the light that I
have now seen. I have been once purposeless but I have heard the gospel and confessed Christ as my
Savior, the perfecter of my faith. I began to walk with Him in this narrow path. The path that requires
self-denial.

As I see this world, I am reminded of how Paul reminded Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:1-7 that in the
last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud,
arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable,
slanderous, without self-control, brutal not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its
power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak
women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to
arrive at a knowledge of the truth. If I am fearful now, it is not because I still fear death, but it is
because I fear to be like of those people Paul described in the last days.

We are now in the last days. We cannot just proclaim God through our lips but of how we live. I
am not saying that I am now perfect but by the grace of God who had given me to see the truth as it is.
I am still struggling with sin, but I am able to repent and overcome it.

The Lord will come sooner. The world is shaking for he warns people to turn away from sin. May
the people of this world tremble in repentance and would have that holy fear in their hearts.

P.S. Sir Juland, as you are a Christian, I encourage you to read and visit the Desiring
[Link]. It has good reads sir that will also help you to know more of God as He is. Also, I
recommend you to listen to the preaching of Pastor Paul Washer and Pastor John Piper. They
preach the sound doctrine sir and are faithful to the word of God. If you have questions sir
about Christianity, they have faithful and biblical answers sir. Truly, anchored to the word of
God, you can even examine those truths sir in the Bible as what the old church does in the past.
Lastly sir, since you are studying the belief of Islam, I recommend you sir to know the faith of
Nabeel Quereshi and read the book he’d written.

God bless you sir!
