Art Show

Last saturday I had an art show at the Moonshadow Cafe .    It was a lot of fun and I stayed until 2:00 and my dad manned the booth the rest of the day.  I had some free drawings for anyone that wanted them and gave them all away except 4.  You can see photos from the art show on my facebook

I felt rather rough this week....I think because I caught a cold. 

Life

 There are a good many things I cannot write about on this blog and it has made posting very hard.

I have had some very rough days and some better days.

I have had really happy times...my cousin's wedding and the family reunion, and some really sad things ( what I cannot share with the world)

I want to be brave.

I want to be strong.

I want to be patient.

I want to carry on.


But I feel like a wimp, the opposite of brave.

I feel so weak , I can't stand long.

I have to be patient, but the wait causes pain.

I must carry on, that is my only choice.

So I pray because I can't do anything else about it.

My hope is that love shall cover a multitude of sin.

But no matter what I know God knows better than me, and I would be a fool to think I know as much as God. 

Joy still comes. 
It was overflowing yesterday! I went to my Grandpa's house on the lake with friends and family and I ate some mudbugs. Lots of mudbugs!  And Mr. Smith played some music and I got to play the tambourine and my Dad's log drum thing. Also I got to ride with my sister Katie and Ethan which for me was the best.
