I enjoy having a tablet. It makes drawing on the computer so much easier since I'm "left-handed" in writing. (Technically, I'm mixed-handed. Which is so wonderful.) So, I found this online program which is really cool, like literally drawing with art supplies on the computer. Just been toying around with it.
Enjoy.
I've always liked drawing this Heart Vine spiralling around the column. I usually use brown paper and use ink and chalk.
I... guess, this is Wesley's eye. It just popped in my head when I was thinking of something to draw. :)
Wellll... it's late. So, I'll probably put more up here later. For now, this is it.

Just Two Kingdom Workers Holding Hands.
I went to a baseball game today with my parents and their life group. And, I brought my boyfriend along-- ...
...
That... still sounds weird to me. Boyfriend. Hahaha... no offense... But, really. The titles "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" seem so... so... childish..? Haha, is that silly that I think that?
I mean... he's my best friend...
And it just feels so natural to be next to him. Like, we've always been..?
It's strange. Maybe I just don't like the titles.
Anyway-! Baseball game. Really fun. But... Expensive food. And I was soooo unusually piggy today! Even before the game.
Like, I scarfed down Chinese food before we went because I knew it was expensive. And, I don't know... I felt like I could've ate like 3 cheeseburgers if they weren't $7 a piece--and the fact that I wanted delicious funnel cake... And a drink... And a pretzel...
Wesley and I got the big "all-you-can-drink" cups that have free refills--$10!
...It was worth it, though... We just chugged and chugged! Gosh. I think we got around 6 refills. Hahaha!
And, we got some seats really close to the front and right where the protective net ends...... That made me kinda nervous.
Wesley scoffed at my worries: "It doesn't come over here. It goes over that way." He pointed farther down.
Game starts.
Not even 5ish batters later-! WHOOOOOOSH!! Over our heads.
Sure, Wesley, sure...
The small space of the seats and being surrounded by people on all sides made Wesley feel a little confined.
And, it just felt like we had to sit quietly because of being closed in. So, we walked around a bit and went farther out and higher up where everyone was much more spaced out.
And, we talked.
It was really nice. Just, about things that were bothering us and things that happened in the past. It's really nice how much we think alike. Almost in a scary way. Hahaha!
And, we got to watch the game easier, being able to see the field more.
There came a point where Wesley was talking about a career in ice skating, possibly. (Which would be so awesome. He's really talented!)
And, it got me thinking. What am I going to do?
Well, it should be more like, Why aren't I doing it?
Because. I already know what I want to do. What I've always felt lead to do.
Writing.
I don't need a college degree to do this. Gosh. I should be doing this right now when I'm so free! While I don't have to have a job to pay bills or buy food for myself!
And I've realized why all my works have eventually become "unfinishables." They had no purpose.
No "The moral of the story is..."
Nothing that... means anything.
And, I know that now. So I want to find the right thing to start.
And, in the car ride home, as Wesley slowly drifted to sleep...(hehehe!) I thought about maybe I should do children's books right now. I could illustrate, too! And, it has a lesson. Something subconsciously teaching children. Writing and drawing. What I love to do...
I'm reminded every week. Sitting next to Wesley, Sunday morning, listening to what God wants us to hear...
It's so very empowering.
It's so great that God sent me Wesley. And he wants to make a difference too.
I know... that... people worry about me and don't want me to "rely" on him too much... Because, you don't want me to get hurt. I love you. Thank you so much for your care.
But, this isn't a bad thing. Trust me.

And, using the gifts God gave me...
For something that's actually going to make a difference in someone's life!
It's so amazing. So great.
You see... My zeal for wanting to make a difference hasn't faded from MOVE!
