...
Okay, so I understand completely that I have been lacking in every way of keeping up this blog thing I've got going on....
But anyhoo, here I am!
Since I have last talked to you, a great lot has changed! Last year I lost some friends, gained some friends (and a beautiful friend of a stepmother!), and grown much closer to God.
Right now I'm basically in the January routine of every year... School, church, music... the norm.
School- Boring as ever. The point has come where I have given up on being excited at all about doing really messed up Home Ec. assignments and learning about Chinese Dynasties. BUT I am, as always, extremely privileged to have these opportunities to learn and grow in knowledge (even if some of the knowledge is completely useless in my eyes....).
Church- Working on catching up from being in Texas for 6 weeks AND being sick at least 3 nights of Proteens this year! But I am striving to get back up and keep going. At the beginning of this Youth Group year, I was kind of apathetic toward all of it. I didn't not want to do it, but I didn't really care. But every day I am getting closer and closer to God now that I have brought back the fire of my desire to be in God's Word and learning about Him. I can't believe I went so long feeling the way I did about my devotions and about Bible reading! I am absolutely amazed by how much I have learned in the past few weeks of getting back into it. I'm also glad that I have a God who forgives me when I am completely ignorant of Him and what He has for me.
Music! I am of late getting back into my flute playing. I think the only reason I've been slacking is that I don't really have any new music, and I don't really have a teacher, so I'm not learning anything new. But I'll be back in the church orchestra and in whatever I can get into. I've had an alto sax. for a couple of months and I'm going to try to teach myself to play it (although, as Facebook videos prove, I'm pretty horrible so far...). And I'm getting a trumpet (or cornet-she can't tell) from my Aunt! It's supposedly very old, but I can deal with that! I'm very, very excited as I've wanted a trumpet for a long time. Next is a cello!!
Life is beautiful.
