It's been a good whole year since I've been here on deviantART and in that time more things than one have changed.
Mostly me.
And as I am the artist, everything else kind of followed suit I guess.
Well I'm fifteen now, and almost sixteen. Yikes. I want to know why my childhood is slipping by so fast.
Here's a quick update on my life's pursuits:

Music:
I learned how to play guitar! I'll tell you, guitar is nothing like piano. I've been throwing chords and words together and I'm even hoping to tie off a couple songs in the imminent future. Hopefully I'll follow through on this one. *crosses fingers*

Blog:
I'm also starting a blog, the purpose of which will be to share with you all my DIY projects and just post my thoughts and reflections. I'll post the link as soon as I've finished polishing it up. I think yall are gonna like it(:

Photography:
Because of school, I haven't been able to take many photos, but if you check your Deviation Stacks and look for my name you can go through some older photos of this past summer that I've been uploading. Soon. SOON. I will have a DSLR of my own...instead of that dinky little point and shoot I still fumble around with.
(I still dearly love my dinky little point and shoot)

Drawing/Painting:
I don't paint much, but I really do enjoy it. I plan on whipping up a few watercolors this year just for fun. As for drawing, I still doodle all over my homework and commit myself to the occasional drawing. I've had, of recent, a lapse of inspiration however, and I have to say that although I've been sketching, you'll find that most of my drawings are of a certain boy. :blush: Like I said, lack of inspiration haha.

Because I will be a Junior next year, I've been thinking a bit about my life and my future.
I have NO idea what I want to do. :l
I know that I could never sit in an office and wear a business suit and calculate numbers for the rest of my life.
Buuut I don't entirely relish the thought of settling as a starving artist either.
I've decided to just simply stay open in my mind and my talents.
Ephesians 2:10 says... "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
That verse just totally puts my mind to rest. I don't have to worry about how my life will turn out because God already has a plan for me. All I have to do is listen and allow him to open the doors. With his help, I will walk through them and live the life he has for me. I know he's given me these talents for some reason. Until he lets me understand his reason, I'll follow him blindly with my whole heart. I trust the plans he has for me.
So all this... deviantART, music, blogs... this is me using the talents I've been blessed with to the best of my ability. So that God might get the glory and I get the joy of serving my King(:

Hey guys!

School is OVER and it's Christmas break. I finally have time for a LIFE again.

I am so relieved that exams are finally over! that was probably one of the most stressful things i've had to endure.
Well, i totally killed my body studying and i've been sick three times in the past three months. i'm sick right now and it sucks.
I guess it was all worth it though, i ended up getting awards for two of the highest grade averages in the freshman grade.
One was for English (no surprise) and the other was for Home Economics. (wth?)
The latter was really a surprise. Seeing as that's the class i normally catch up on my sleep in and study for other classes. I'm also not the most organized or mature student in that class, i can't cook, and i hate babies.
lol i don't really hate babies. just the ones related to me. :3

Well, i withdrew from school last friday. I'm gonna be home schooled again. ;]
Public school was really fun, for the whole semester that it lasted. lol
The main reasons i'm going home schooled again are because...
I'm going to be pretty busy next semester with being in the band etc and being home schooled would really help.
When i was in public i usually only got four hours of sleep. Six hours was probably my max. That's not really healthy.
Aaaand towards the end of the semester, i really started to get sick of the immaturity and plastic-ness of the majority of the student body. I kinda felt alone, like i was the only real person there. My home school friends were never usually like that. Sooo, yeah, and other than that, there were also some pretty negative influences at school that i could just do without.
most of my teachers were pretty sad to hear that i was leaving. My softball coach was pretty sad/pissed. he gave me a kit-kat during lunch though, so i guess we're good now. =]

I really hope i'll find a league that will let me play softball next spring.

Hmm, so other than feeling like absoluteeee crap right now and getting to look forward to three doctor's appointments tomorrow, i'm doing pretty good. Most of my stress is gone and i am eternally grateful for that. =]

SO. As soon as i am feeling better and i've finished all the chores i was SUPPOSED to do today, i will get back to drawing things that i still owe some people.
ESPECIALLY: :iconwolfchild23:
OMG i've owed this girl a picture for like 5 and a half years already.
I know i know, i am a horrible person, but i SWEAR that it WILL get done!!

Well, with that said, I hope yall all have a MERRY CHRISTmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey yall!
been so busy since school started. =[
just a life update, to update you on my life ya know, something like that. lol

okay so...

i'm an all A student!!
my english teacher says i'm her best writer and she reads my papers in front of the other classes (according to my friends)
(yeah yeah bragging rights) :P

My youth group has started a band, and it's pretty amazing! we've already been asked to go play for various churches and organizations. i play the lame-o keyboard.

i think i'm getting in better shape, thanks to months of exhaustion survived and yet to come in athletics.

i've been getting very little sleep because of my busy schedule.
3 hours of sleep, 4, 3, and tonight i'll probably get about 6, thank God.

The guy i've been liking for 6 years has been a jerk to me. subtly yes, but it still hurts. =[
i might be liking another guy at my school, but i don't really want to date him or anything.

this weekend i attended a UIL competition and got creamed along with everyone else from my school. rofl.
This sunday i will be in another rodeo and hopefully have enough time to do my chores, homework, studying, and laundry before monday.

oh yeah, good and bad news.

bad news
my dog killed my neighbor's dog. =[

good news
i have a pet centipede again!! (it's huge)

well i really need to get some sleep. just figured i'd update yall. =]

Please pray for my friend, :iconstained-glass-girl:
she is hurting so bad right now. it makes me sick to see this killing her.
I am praying that she comes out stronger, and even more beautiful than before.
Will you please pray for her?
Thing about us Christians, we're never alone.
Even if just one person prays, God will break the heart of nations to hear.
He will move mountains for the ones he loves.
i KNOW he loves me and my friend.
We survive, and we grow stronger. we're beautiful broken.
someday we will never hurt again.
because we have God.
thank you so much God, for when we hurt. because then we remember that we need you.
even though it breaks our hearts, you love us. and that's enough.
