Heyo, peeps!

"Oh ho ho... brilliant! It's you! You're my favorite, you are. You are the best. You know why? 'Cause you're so thick! You're Mr. Thick Thick Thickety Thickface from Thicktown. Thickania! ... And so's your dad." ~The Doctor~

Hey, guys! Life has been really a struggle! I have a lot of stuff to do-- that being (from priority 1 and on):

1. Scripture!!! I've been getting into the Word of God for a couple of weeks with a great friend, and it's been a wonderful journey, taking me in and out of the fields of gold and to send me on my way to fight for my faith. It is an amazing battle that has changed the way I think and the way I act. I have never known strength like this. Thanks be to God, Alleluia!!!!

2. Homework! Whoa!!!! Lots of homework in so little time! A years worth of schoolwork (in each subject) to do in two months--aye that's what I said: TWO MONTHS!!!!!!! I am getting help from another good friend and promised my mother that I would get at the very least half of my schoolwork done by the end of December--and then continue on January. Yet, I am aiming to get as much done as I possibly can, if I am not able to finish, let's just say I sure will be homeschooled still when I'm 20-- I guess that's okay, someone I highly respect finished school at that age, so I'm not alone!

3. Guitar! You know after December, that's when we'll see if it is worth all the $100 to learn guitar!!! Yeah, I'm not sure it's worth it, cuz I am unable to practice the simple G scale and G Major chords and all the toughening of my fingers are going sooo slowly!!! But, hey! I'll get this, it's in my blood, right? Thank God for a musical family!

4. Writing!!! Yeah, I lost my motivation to write, it is sad but I find no joy in it anymore, but now that a few bad things have been happening I will express them through my writings and make sure that I get out of this deep dark pit of sorrow and remain out of it by Christ's power. I am writing a story in a series called "Disciples Saga". It's about a trio of teens who go into a world through a mural, painted directly on an artist's wall. The trio are Elijah Jonathan "Jack" Kings, Patrick D. Chmakova, Joyce Olivia Kings. And in the story they go to the land of Fragathia-- which is where their lives are changed forever. I'm also thinking about paying to go to an online course for writers but-- heh... that is a last priority.

5. Beads!!!! Yeah, I'm becoming a beadsmith! Making Gaelic jewelry with beautiful beads of knotwork! Then I might get to do something epic and I'll be sure to show a few of my friends the picture of this, if they really want to know and see afterward haha!

So far, I've made a little bit of progress on each of these and it's making me kinda nervous, what if I don't cut it in some of the things I'm aiming for? Let's not try and worry about it. But, be praying for me and I shall do my best in each and every one of them!!!! Even my hat collecting is at a standstill I truly miss collecting hats, but I don't have the time nor the money to do that.

Lost in the world of thought,
