Seeking the Light: Metamorphic-ally speaking

What keeps us from getting something done... say homework? Golly jeez, there's Facebook, Blogging, Tetris, reading and sleeping. A lot of things keep me preoccupied from the things I have to do. Now there are also a lot of things that can preoccupy us from seeking the Light, or seeking Jesus. Is it because we had a bad day? Is it because our faith needs strengthening? Is it because we have other gods? Is it because God isn't in the center of our heart?

Sometimes, our responses are like trees. Through the leaves and branches on a tree, you can see a bit of the sun. The light is there, but it flickers and dims regularly. Sometimes, it takes initiative, courage and responsibility to thrash down the branches to see the true light: the true brightness and the true mightiness of God. 

Old Pictures

This was during my 6 months of summer. My room was as busy as a bee, and as cluttered as a dumpster. I miss those days. I wasted those days. I can't believe how unproductive I was.

Another day within my 6 months of summer. I like exploring new places. It was nice to have a different work and play space, instead of my room.

Haha, this was when I was so bored, I practically had nothing to do. I decided to make a macaroon list. My favorite one is Charming Cherry. Gullible Green Mint looks like the most awkward one. 

Once again: within those 6 months of summer. I was busy playing with paper and stickers. 

This was when I was home alone one summer day with nothing to do. I miss my Azkals ballerband. I wonder where it is right now.

Yes! Over those 6 months of summer, I had some productive days, like when I reused my old socks and made them sock puppets. 

I love the composition of this photo. Everything seems so quiet, refreshed, simple and clean. Summer 2011. 

And yes, this is me right now.

My nose in a GREAT book.

Me, blogging.

And a whole bunch of homemade cinnamon cookies all to myself.

Word Of the Year

For our English class, we had to choose one word for the year. The word we chose is supposed to be our own words that we would live on for the year.

My friend Ciara chose the word Extreme, because according to her, this 2012 is going to be one exciting (and intense) year for her! My friend Ana chose to word Confidence, because this year, she wants to be able to be confident with herself, her ideas and her voice.

So I guess it's kinda obvious what my word is, assuming you can see the big typography above this text! Yes, this year I chose the word Brave.The main reason why I chose the word brave was because 2012 is the year I turn 13! It's a new step for me, I'm entering a new stage in life and a lot of new things are coming into my life! 

What is your word of the year?
