I know I just blogged today, but I really need to say this.
Can I praise God? He's been working my family. I am already seeing a change that I told my parents I saw coming. I notice that they are seeing the change as well, which is making things a little less awkward and scared to talk to them about things we should be talking about as a family. Like my education, job, taxes, etc. I mean there are times when we are still getting angry over little things, and still feel like we need to learn to be slow to anger. But the Lord is working in our lives and our relationships and I praise Him for that. It's a big step to see this family semi-getting along. Praise God!
His banner of me is love. Praise to His wonderful name.
Now I want to praise God for allowing my earthly parents allow me to get the Graphic Design AAS at JCCC. It really really means a lot to me, cause they have always turned down art as a career. But I think Mikeschair helped that. My talents been developing over the years and now it's gonna be excitingly awesome. I praise God for all the networking I have already done when it comes to design, through friends in the business already, and through bands I have given designs to like Rush of Fools, Me in Motion, and Mikeschair. I would love to see my work out there, and seeing people wearing my shirts would be so awesome. What ever the Lord has in store for me and my talent is all that matters and I am excited.
If you remember me. Would you pray that I can find a new job or second job to help pay for school, hopefully starting this summer semester.
Thanks in advance for all your prayers.

Going Back to School
So I haven't been in school for about a semester, gonna be a year at the end of this semester. I just feel, the break was nice and very much needed for me. Now I feel like I need to go back to school.
So, I think I wrote in one of my past blogs about how I talked to a older gentleman at the OneThing Conference 2010, and how I have a passion and I don't want to go to school, cause I want to do all these things. He brought up a good point that I need to develop the talents God's given me. I have a passion for justice for children, art, and music. I would love to be able to combine all three.
I don't know, but I have grown so much when it comes to designing shirts. I remember the first design I've ever done and well it was pretty, I mean yes it was on Paint, but I have done ones later on that were pretty decent.
I just feel like this would be an awesome career or path for me. I am constantly doodling, and sketching and wanting to see these ideas become a reality. And how is that going to happen if I don't have the right training and critics in my life to tell me how to make this better. All I have right now is, "that looks nice," or "I don't really like it, but I'm not sure how you can change it." I feel like that's what I need. I need discipline.
The two places that I want to work for: Invisible Children and TOMS.
Looking at TOMS website in the intern or "agents of change" tab they "look for TOMS advocates who are passionate about the One for One movement and have proven success in college."
And right now if they were to look at my college success, it wouldn't be too pretty. Not a lot of success. But I think that's because I was doing what my parents wanted me to do, and I need to be doing what I want to be doing, and I think that's graphic design, and possibly communications in the future. I have a creative mind and well, I can't sit in a classroom all day where my creativity isn't challenged at least once.
Well... I know this "going back to school" is what God wants me to do. Even though communications is great, I think I will always have art on my side and God's given me that talent for a reason. Now it's just time to develop this talent.
Time to talk, hopefully talk, to my parents about my decision, and if they are up for it then hopefully I'll start in the summer. If that's the case then Invisible Children's San Diego Summit is out of the question, no matter how much I would love to go. I need to start making sacrifices, no matter how much I would love to do something else.
Wish me luck.
