update

september has been a really full month. i have lived 2 satisfying weeks (+) completely embracing the art making process: painting for 8 hours straight (entering the room when its bright and leaving when its dark), >2 meals at the coffee shop near school, wearing battle scars home on my elbows (streaks of brown, blues, reds), smelling of turpentine, dreaming about making new works,

losing myself in the most beautiful way 

i just know that i couldn't have made it this far without Grace showered upon me so freely and abundantly. Grace gave life to something i used to do as a hobby, took it and transformed it into what i now believe can consume my life in the most perfect manner. after a really long talk with my art teacher yesterday i believe this is where i'm headed. pursuing a fine arts degree may be tough and questionable at many points in time (i can foresee), but i know it will be worth it. i still have a long way to go and a huge question mark hovering just beyond the degree, but i know all things work out for good for those who love Him; so i'm throwing all of myself into something that i love while doing it His way, hoping all that is in store for me will pan out to be His will. 

i feel good about this, folks. i hope you're happy for me like i am happy for myself. i couldn't think of anything better than to have blessings and support from the people i love.
