A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

"I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use, silence, exile, and cunning."
-Stephen Dedalus, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

What's Happening


      As we begin this New Year of 2010, many things are happening all over the world. The holidays are officially over and it's time to go back to work and school. Cold, chilly mornings wake us up, while our nice, warm beds call to us from afar. :) 
    I am very excited about this coming year! Brian and I have set a relative wedding date that I am not yet going to announce. :) I have to wait a little longer to tell everyone! :) I also picked up my guitar lately and I'm trying hard to learn how to play. I love it! I love music and I want to be able to express myself with music. I find it releasing and amazing. I am also trying to read more this year. 
   At the moment I am reading Fallen by Lauren Kate. It's a pretty good book so far. It's the first book of an upcoming series. And I am also keeping this blog, "The Mind of Jennifer Grace", which I am loving so far. 
   I recently also read two blogs made by a girl who lives in Washington County, Briana McNair. These two blogs are great! One is called the "Book Pixie", in which she reviews different books. (http://thebookpixie.blogspot.com/) The other is "From Briana's Point of View", where she posts her beautiful photography. (http://frombrianaspointofview.blogspot.com/) They are both amazing, so check them out!                                        
     All in all, it's time to get busy. There's lots to plan, to think about, to accomplish. However, in all that we seek to accomplish, may we not forget who has provided this great life in which we live. May we not forget the one who holds the future, the one who holds the world in His hands. May we aim to seek to serve Him better this year. May we seek to love Him more, and to grow in Him. May our relationship with Him become first in our lives. May we thank the one who has allowed us to experience joy, peace and life in Him, for He is worthy to be praised! :)
