Shipping Container Houses.

Now, call me crazy--but I am wildly fascinated by the idea of houses made out of old shipping containers. Although I'm interested in doing my part to help save the planet--I have to admit, this romance is purely one of simplistic/modern aesthetics and my seemingly neverending love of things that are "different" (a.k.a. weird-ish).

I first heard of the concept of people building homes out of old shipping containers such as these a few months ago when I was reading a blog somewhere (okay, okay--it was on treehugger.com). Needless to say, I was initially intrigued, but reserved about the idea.

Then, for some reason today I caught glimpse of an article on MSN about it and was reminded...seriously. How fun would it be to build yourself a beautiful house using the most unlikely of materials? SWEET

.

I love the idea of taking something that is seemingly mundane and purely practical, and using it to make something beautiful and inviting.

Just look at the inside of this house....

It's totally beautiful. It's like living inside of pure art and I have to say I LOVE it!

This one is GORGEOUS too.

So...I guess the moral of the story is-I like these houses. I maybe wanna build one someday. . . . . . Just sayin. :)

The Lord your god is present among you,

A Strong Warrior there to save you.

Happy to have you back,

He'll calm you with His love,

and delight you with his songs.

Zeph 3:16-17

Everything.

So, the skit in this drama is basically amazing. I love it's presentation of the love of Christ. The song, is also quite wonderful, so for your enjoyment I will share both.

The video of the skit is to the right. I have made it a part of my page, and will probably keep it there for a while.


Everything
by-Lifehouse.

Find me here.
And speak to me.
I want to feel you.
I need to hear you.
You are the light,
that's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace, again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light, to my soul.
You are my purpose. You're everything.

How can I stand here with you,
And not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how can it be,
any better than this?

You calmed the storms,
And you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands,
You won't let me fall.
You stilled my heart,
And you take my breath away.
Would you take me in?
Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with You,
And not be moved by you?
Could you tell me how could it be,
Any better than this?


Cuz You're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're Everything, everything
You're all I want,
You're all I need,
You're everything, everything!

And how can I stand here with You,
And not be moved by You?
Would you tell me how could it be,
Any better than this?







Love it.

I will work on getting pictures posted soon. Basically, I'm not positive where the cord to hook my camera up to my computer is at. I'm sure it's somewhere in a box I haven't unpacked yet. lol
