Well folks, I've been busy today/this week. Shocking, yes I know. But really I have. I have been working quite diligently on all the big new changes coming to this little blog during the next couple months, nothing major, just the basics of a TOTALLY NEW BRAND! Gah. I'm excited. Seriously, I'm in love with the colors and fonts and words and all over style I've been working on. The blog will also become my website for artistic/business reasons and personal. Here are a few things that are going to change;
- Design. I'm going back to basics, a very clean, simple style. And totally fabulous, I might mention.
- The colors, however, will not be simple or quiet. No... think.... yellow. Bright sunshine yellow. And orange. And turquoise. And black. You'll like it, don't worry.
- It will have a main page with words and stuff on it.
- There will be a few less pictures of my face every where. You may now breathe a sigh of relief.
- ..... and some other secret stuff that I'm not quite certain of. Here's a hint though: I really enjoy photography. And my birthday is soon. Make of that what you will. It's cool stuff, friends.
I have been thinking a lot about my future lately, I always have but lately it's been really big on my mind. Guys, I only have two years until I graduate, a few months until I get my drivers permit, and my 16th birthday is on the 27th. It's time to think seriously about things. People are always asking if I'm going to college, why I don't want to go to college, am I going to get married early, will I have a bunch of kids. You know, the usual stuff adults want to know. And my honest answer to all of the above? I don't know. I do know for a fact that I don't want to spend 4+ years in a college, there is nothing that I want to do that requires a degree. So that's one question answered. That question is always followed with "well, what do you want to do with your life?" and again, I don't know. There are so many things I would love to accomplish, but really what is important? Is it important to make a bunch of money in a job that you hate, but need because you have to pay bills? I'm coming to the conclusion that the most important thing in my life right now is growing in my relationship with God. Yes, there study is good, in fact I am of the opinion that it glorifies Him, but really! College is not that important. At least for me.
People automatically assume that because I am not planing to go to college now, that I just want to find myself a husband and have a bunch of miniature little people together and live happily ever after. The End. Truthfully guys, no, that's not what I want. Yeah I would love to marry one day, but at 15 almost 16.... um. Yeah, get my meaning? I guess what I'm trying to say is that yes, I've been seriously thinking about my future, and I know that I'm most likely not going to college. I know what ever I do I want God to be first, and my family right up there on top.
Like I said up there somewhere, lots of happy things I'm thinking about for the next few months. I'm excited to see what happens!

Love the pictures and can't wait to see the new design :) I've been thinking a lot about my future too, I only have a year left before graduation and I still don't know much about where I'm going afterwards. But hey, as long as we trust that God has a plan, and we do our best to follow it, that's all that matters :D
ReplyDeleteLove this, Johanna. So many people are asking me the same thing, since I'm already sixteen and supposed to have my life figured out, apparently. But honestly, I don't know! And I think this is good, healthy even; let's just be who we are supposed to be right now and see what God is going to do in our lives. He knows exactly what He's doing, and He knows exactly where we'll be in ten years. =)

but the LORD establishes his steps.

And lovely pictures, dear. =) I love them way much! They always make me miss my grandparent's farm. That doggy picture was the best....
I'M. SO. EXCITED. SERIOUS. ahem, sorry, but all-caps was necessary for my level of excitement. XD
ReplyDeleteLove the seventh picture and can't wait to see the new design.

I can't wait to see the changes! Although your blog is pretty awesome right now. :D
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you. Those questions are never easy to handle. Especailly when people can not for whatever reason accept the fact you have no desire to go to college. (know that feeling quite well...) But you seem to be on the right track as far as wanting to do what the LORD calls of you. Keep that up, and seek HIM. HE'll show you HIS will, in HIS timing. And you've got plenty of time at your age! :D
Have a wonderfully blessed day!
