So, I finally did it.  I made my mother cry, but I love it.  I think it is perfect for me: placement, design, style.



I am almost finished with the semester!!  One more final and a paper to turn in by 8 Thursday night.  I should have the paper finished tomorrow.  I'm writing over the social issues in the movie Philadelphia for my Social Welfare class.  Then first thing Thursday morning, I have my Lifespan:  Growth and Development final.  That was my favorite class this semester and I'm not worried about it.  Last I knew, I ranked fourth in the class and I have only made one B (on the hardest test all semester).  I'm going to get some sleep though tonight and sleep in some tomorrow.  I was up last night (pretty late) getting everything finished for my final critique in Painting III today.  The one that I literally just threw together and didn't like very much ended up being the one that everyone thought was great.  Apparently, I captured the essence of Baytown and the smudges (that I hated) were a great touch.  How ironic!
Well, good night and much love!

Holy, You are still holy
Even when the darkness surrounds my life
Sovereign, You are still sovereign
Even when confusion has blinded my eyes

Lord, I don't deserve Your kind affection
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection
Of Your love

And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You
You are still holy

Holy, You are still holy
Even though I don't understand Your ways
Sovereign, You will be sovereign
Even when my circumstances don't change

Lord, I don't deserve your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth
I want my life to be a sweet devotion
To You

And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You

I belong to You

And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You
I belong to You

You are still holy
You are still sovereign
You are still holy, Lord
You are still righteous
You are all-knowing

You are still holy

So here is my self-portrait Almost completely finished:







I have a little more work to do on it, but I'm pretty happy with it so far!
