The Decision

I don't like decisions very much... especially ones that will affect the rest of my life. For the past three months I have been debating on graduating a year early (and either go to college, travel, or study music on my own) or continuing high school (in challenge 4).  I couldn't count how many times I have gone over the pros and cons in my head, how many times I've begged God to just tell me which I should do, or how many times I have somewhat decided in my head, but refused to say it out loud.  Quite a few times I have said something like, "Challenge 4 is going to be awesome" or "I need to apply to Asbury" and whoever is around me is like, "YOU MADE A DECISION?" Of course then I tell them to never take my decisive statements seriously because my decision could change the next day.  I've been preparing as if I am going to graduate so that I have the option. So I attended the graduation meeting... got measured for cap and gown... planned to sing a song at graduation... and then today was yearbook picture day.  I could have gotten both a junior picture and a senior picture and later told the yearbook editors which one to use, but instead, I did the first decisive thing.  I did NOT get a senior picture done.  Therefore, I am not graduating this year. I'm feeling somewhat excited, scared, disappointed, relieved, overwhelmed...


I know this much is true.  Holding hands with my Father, He will never leave me, He will show me the right way, and I can trust Him.

I can do this.

Ramble on Life

Why hello there :) It's been a while...

Warning: I wrote this while in extreme hyper stage.

In the ahhhhmazing month of October, I have celebrated my sweet sixteen, gotten my license, and a super duper cute hyundai elantra! As it is now November, school is crazy as ever but on the upside, only 25 more days of school! So as you can see, my life has undergone some awesomeness as of late and all is well. Today I did my first piano recording (it was an accompaniment for my Grandma) and now I am really inspired to record my very own CD with some covers! It would truly be the coolest thing ever to be a singer/songwriter/photographer/pianist. I must say this has turned out to be quite the ramble, but I hope you have enjoyed it nonetheless.

Favorite picture of the season:

My favorite swing :)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Take a second to look at the beautiful, autumn trees. They're my favorite part about the fall :)
