it's who I am


I recently realized that unless you read old blog Beside Quiet Waters, you don't know much about me.  And not to be self-centered, but this post is about me.  I am sixteen years old and a sophomore attending a public high school.  Many Christians are home-schooled, but I found that I love being in the public system.  I have made friends with a few Christians, but still most of my friends are not.  They all know I am Christian, and so I am a 'light' to them.

You all know, but I am a Christian.  I am trying to grow in my faith, and be faithful to only Him.  Went I post scripture and other bible related posts, just know I post for you and for myself.  I love blogging for the sake of having people to share my faith.  It helps.


I am a 'bando' and play the alto saxophone.  I love music, but still I know nothing of pop culture or musicians.  I listen to Mozart, Sibelius, Rachmaninov, and so many other old composers.  I must have already told you this, but music is painful to listen to.  My heart hurts after listening to a piece because of how beautiful it is.  And of course, whenever I listen to an exceptionally good piece, I cry.


Creativity is definitely a strong point.  I am very into design, and scrapbooking-type things.  If a teacher assigns a project, I am bound to spend a ton of time of the appearance of the project.  It is something I enjoy doing.  I like designing my blog as well, because I get to make a design that shows what type of blog this is.  Here is an example of a small project I did with my sister yesterday. 


My creativity doesn't just come in art projects, but it also comes in the form of photography.  And while I don't have a good camera, I still find it enjoyable.  I may not be as skilled as others, but I am definitely learning, which is all I care about.


and of course, my creativity is also showed through writing.  which is why I am here.
