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.

Coffee, Choco, and Cute! OH MY!

Today, I've been craving chocolate and coffee..... and it's been a interesting.... I want to wear a cowboy hat, shades, and old fashioned country boots and knee-length skirt and button-up calico shirt and vest! Then I want a cup o' good 'ole fashioned coffee.... with a bar of chocolate! But..... I must say:

Bacon and chocolate separately is great, but who would eat it together? SOMEONE must cuz below is a picture of some Mummy and I found a while back at Whole Food.....

 Below here is a mug that Mummy took a picture of a while back.... Just right for my good 'ole fashioned coffee.....<3333

 

And the cute has arrived..... **drumroll please** MY LITTLE PONY! :3 Yup, I like that show! It's CUTE!

Book of Kells

Why am I talking about the Book of Kells? Well! I watched the film "The Secret of Kells" and thought I'd post a bit about what it inspired me for my NaNoWriMo story! An illuminator (the girl who stuck to Myrra) that can make illuminations that come alive (quite literally). They will come out of the pages and do the artisans' will. Also, I thought of a name for the girl sticking with Myrra... Her name shall be Kallah!

Here is a track from the soundtrack of "The Secret of Kells"

Gusts of Color - Lost in the World of Thought

I wrote/drew a poem and picture sometime ago, and I just found it in an old bag... There is no telling how old this drawing/poem is...I am very proud of it! It's called "H.A.S.H." The words on the picture is very blurred so I copied it below the pic!

 

"Healing a shattered heart
For pain is deep as the scars
Inside a deepness He comes to me
Healing my shattered heart
He holds my heart
And takes my broken chains
Saving my life for His glory
Healing waters dipping in love
HEAL MY SHATTERED HEART!"

I also plan to write in NaNoWriMo still, and I have the plot of the book I'm writing for it! To get you on the edge of your seats:

In a land where nothing is as it seems, there was an oddity in a city. Her name was Myrra Camon, she was always feared for one thing that gave her a life unlike any other. These artisans looked down upon the abilities of this girl. For her arts were a danger to the entire city. Goldenhands have the power to create worlds or destruct them and make the reality unreal. Normally they were killed once they noticed these powers form. But Myrra was allowed to live because of the protection of her parents. But never did Myrra know that her powers would be used against her. Angering her brought on the deaths of her parents. When she realized what she had done she ran away and began the life of an outcast. She meets a girl who sticks to her until one day a traveling warrior meets them. Can Myrra trust him? Or should she run as she had from her home?

I thought about a quote a while back where A.A. Milne said, “Time is swift, it races by; Opportunities are born and die... Still you wait and will not try - A bird with wings who dares not rise and fly.” And I realize that I used to be like that, but now I choose to rise and fly and try to be the best I can be! God bless y'all!

Waiting for His Plan to Unfold

For those who wait.... a life of persevering patience. We wait each day for God's plan to unfold. And a very important person in my life has accepted Christ as his Savior. After so long of fervent prayers, waiting, longing to see his comeback, we have found there is hope in only One... And he has found it too.... As I once said before, Even the hardest heart can break and be changed in Christ's hands. Remember, prayer is powerful as long as we have faith to believe in it. God's there, even when others shove that off. We are not alone in this!

Life IS Change

Well, within 6 months I have to be graduated, have a license, and then GET A LIFE! I'm planning on moving out of South Carolina and into Indiana!  I'll be rooming with a dear dear friend.... after saying goodbye to me dear friends and family from SC... We are planning to have 6 months together then she'll leave to marry her fiance! Meanwhile I'll be really working toward getting graduated and then I'll pack my things and move on out.... To my dear friends out there, please be praying for me that I might be able to do this.... I've never lived outside of SC, so this is a big step for me.... And saying goodbye to my family and friends will be hard....

Also, lately, depression has gripped it's ugly claws over my heart.... I need prayers that I'll get through this... I definitely don't want to be as whiny as Bella from Twilight.... I'm not falling into that deep of a depression though.... but I'm doing a lot of stupid things to cope.....I found another reason why I can't have caffeine...... now there's a physical aspect to it...... After finding that out though..... I got more along with something that I KNEW had another bad physical reaction after eating it.... sugar! I am coping with things that could really bring me down.....and the last time I allowed all my cravings to take over me, I became a monster!

And another thing..... I feel a little uplifted today, now that I went to church..... I worshiped God and learned something about The Bread of Life! I feel stronger now that I went.... even though I'm still a wee bit weak. I feel like I can fight another day after so long of feeling like I could never fight! I was crippled and believing myself incapable of standing up.... but God gave me the strength to overcome and now I feel strong!

I have felt awful weak and then I've gained strength..... a lot like this song:



THANKS BE TO GOD!!!!!! I am the Crippled Warrior..... I stand to fight back..... I am weak on my own..... but I am strong when He is near..... I am the Injured Challenger.... Getting back up is never easy.... But when I fight for Him.... I CAN BE STRONG IN HIM!!!!!!!!

Searching for the Crippled Warrior,
