Prepare for a BUNCH...

If you read my last post, "Warming Love", you can gather that life has been pretty rough the past few months.  My mother recently was in the hospital for near-death scares.  My sister's wedding was approaching and schedules were packed.  I was questioning my new relationship with my boyfriend and filled it with doubt.  And above all, my computer, my life-line totally fried.

As an animator, my computer is beyond important.  It is close to impossible to create any film without a digital component, let alone a computer.  To be quite honest, when my computer broke it was the end of my world.  It was just that "what other BAD things could happen to me?" moment.

Though getting a new computer was an absolute need, I had to put it on back burner because it just wasn't that important among the things that was going on in my life.  My mom's health came first; my sister's wedding came second; my job came third; my boyfriend came fourth; then my art.

Such a shame, if I think about it now.  I tried to pray about it but I just couldn't think about it.  I didn't have the finance for it.  I didn't have the energy for it.  I just couldn't deal with it.

I sucked it up, and surrendered everything to Jesus, which I should of done a long time ago.  And He provided!  My sister's wedding was flawlessly amazing.  My mom is recovering and is even back to work.  My relationship with Seán (my boyfriend, obviously) couldn't be more loving.  And most importantly, from people I am sooooo blessed to have, I only had to pay $188 out of pocket for my computer!

I know I was struggling for quite sometime but He will ALWAYS provide.  I know I forget about it at times but it is things like this that make really truly remember how blessed I am.

So prepare yourself for a BUNCH of new animation/singing projects! To start, listen to me singing at my sister's best friend's wedding!
