Just Getting Started

So I've wanted to start a blog about what's going on my life, based on missions, and what God has been up to in my life for a while. Doing a DTS (Discipleship Training School) has somewhat forced me to actually do it. So here I am. I don't know if anyone will read it or care but mostly this is kind of just for me. Like a journal or a fuzzy diary without a lock on it. Which reminds me of the one I had when I was around 10 and Matt, my older brother, would steal it and read it. Those dinky little locks were useless in the hands of a 12 year old boy. Anyhow, back to the point, I also thought it would be nice just to be able to read back on what's been happening in my life in a few month or a few years to see how I've grown, or changed, or if my grammar has gotten better. (I apologize ahead of time for the many typos and grammatical errors that my english teachers would shoot me for.)

So all in all I called this My Life's Painting because, to me, life is very similar to a painting. You have to dedicate time to it to make it just how you want it. There are layers and layers of paint on that canvas, from trying to maybe cover up a mistake, or not having the right colour. To me that's very similar to life. Our lives are cut up into different stages like a painting and right now I'm in a new stage in life having just graduation high school this year. This next year is going to be full of new things, travelling, meeting new people, making new friends that I'll have forever and probably along the way losing others, but that's just life is unfortunately. All in all I'm excited for whatever God has in store.
