It has been a long time since I last wrote a blog post. A lot has been going on in my life. With our new dog, Bilbo, rustling in the background, I decided that I would write and catch up.
I haven't stopped writing. It has just been hard to post. Monday starts the first day of my senior year, and I have spent most of my summer trying to finish up last year. And Civics from 9th grade. And Physical Science from 10th grade. Ok, you get the picture. I'm kind of a procrastinator.
Well, I had the opportunity to play with UGA Chamber Music this summer. It was my first time back playing the violin in that kind of environment. It was so much fun. It gave me something to look forward to and work towards each week. Now that it's over, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm sure I'll find something. And if not, maybe I can learn to play the guitar?
My family went to Johnson City again this summer. I stayed home with Noah because I had way too much school to do. Thankfully, Dad rewarded us with movie time in the evenings. I watched "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" for the first time. I liked it, but I don't know how I feel about the apes. It is a love hate relationship I guess.
I went to camp this summer. The first week was great. We really worshipped God and it was great spending time with other believers. The second week was ok, but I got sick and had to go home. It was not fun, and I was very bummed. The third week was awful. I was a total jerk and complained a lot and got sent home. I was totally messed up emotionally. I came home and mom set me right back on track with God.
After camp, I had a hard time. I knew that I hurt others when I complained, and I apologized, but I still felt, and sometimes feel guilty. I found out that I have all of these issues that I won't mention here, but part of it is depression. I have been praying for God's love to go to my heart and clean me up inside. I really want joy, but sometimes it is a struggle. I have to go back to that blog post of when I'm depressed. I need to trust in God's love and kindness towards me.
I have made a good friend named Macie. She is so sweet. She really makes me laugh and I love spending time with her. Yeah, yeah we talk about the Hobbit. But then again, my blog is called A Homeschooled Hobbit, so...you know.
How has your summer been? Has it had its ups and downs? Let me know in the comments. I want you all to know that even though I don't know you, I pray for all of you. I hope you find God's peace and love this night!
