One of the reasons I have not been blogging has been that I have become quite uninspired, but the most reason is because I have been going through changes.
When I started this blog almost 2 years ago, I was sooo into books. I would literally read an entire book in a few days time. It was something that was enjoyable to me back then, but not so much now. I have come to realize that, yes I still love to read, but I am no longer letting it be my "life'. Books were becoming too of a huge thing, maybe even an unhealthy one. I am going to cut back on my reading and not get so many of those free books.
One of the reasons I started this blog was to encourage other teens, wether through a helpful tip, an encouraging Bible scripture, or a simple recipe. I wanted to make this an encouraging corner, and I recognize that I have failed in this aspect. Books literally took over my blog and I want to remidy that! From now own I am going to be an encouragement to you. I want to write more Bible posts, more fashion posts, and just girly things:)
While I am closing a chapter in my book-no pun intended:), I am also opening another. This new chapter had materialized in imovie. I've recently started messing with and I am enjoying making home videos and editing them. While I am learning I will be sharing videos with you girls too! Though I have not come up with a schedule, I have some pretty fun ideas for this new progect. So be merciful with me as I learn and grown in this journey.
Here is my first video! Before you watch keep this in mind 1. This is my first video:) 2. I kept looking at the viewfinder so sorry if that annoys you. 3. I had previously ate a jolly rancher, hence the red tongue. 5. I choose a very windy day to film 6. The last portion is blurry:(

hi, I know you don't know me, but I just started reading your blog, and actually, I was going to recommend a author to you until you posted this!
ReplyDeleteI like your video, and find that we are very similar!

I am so glad you read my blog. I hope you are enjoying it. Please do share the author, I may need to reiterate somethings. I still am going to be reading just not as much. Glad to know I have another 'kindred spirit' :)
DeleteThe author was, one: Grace Livingston Hill, and two: Christmas Carol Kauffman. You probably know of these authors, but i thought maybe if you didn't you would enjoy them. :)

If I'm not mistaken I've heard of Grace Livingston Hill, just haven't tried her out. Will definitely have to check out Carol Kauffman. Thanks for the suggestions.
