I'm sure about a billion people are doing a post on the same thing (probably way before me, you know, at the beginning of the year when you're supposed to do it). But here I am.
Resolutions at the beginning of the year seem to never last. Especially ones like 'trying a different hair style every week' or something like that. So I wanted to at least do something more important as a resolution.
I've decided (and started on January 1st) to read through my Bible by the end of the year. Though I have read my Bible through, I have yet to read it from Genesis to Revelation in one year. So that is my main goal. My second is to memorize a verse (or a few verses) each week. Unlike most New Year's Resolutions however, if I fail to do that in a week, I'm not going to just give it up altogether. I think both of these things are important to a Christian's spiritual walk.
As a side note, I'm sorry I haven't been very active on my blogs. I plan on being a little bit better. I haven't drawn anything much recently, so I want to do that soon, as well. I'm planning on posting a drawing on the last weekend of every month.
Lastly, I want to share a quote with you. My good friend said this in a text message when we were talking and I thought it might help someone out there.
"The problem with stopping fighting [spiritually] is that the enemy doesn't quit with you." ~ Allie
When you wave the white flag, the enemy gives an evil cackle and says 'I've got her..." Mwahaha! Or Him. Whichever the case may be. And he keeps you right where he wants you until you start fighting again. Unless you never do. In which case, he keeps you where he wants you until you die (how depressing). I know that we don't always feel like fighting. But we have to anyway. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:13b-14a, "..and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore.." When you feel like you can't stand anymore, stand anyway. By the way, praying would help with that.
Anyway, that's my little splurge. Thanks for reading!

So today I styled the 40's look that Peggy Carter had in Captain America. Well.. I attempted. My curls were too big but I'm really wanting to perfect the style, so I'll be doing this again sometime. I readjusted after taking these pictures and I think it looks better now. But, oh well. Let me know what you think!
Today I styled the look I posted the other day. I'm going to start doing a 1940s-50s style in my hair every Sunday. Until I run out of things to try (which will probably be awhile), I'll post a picture at the end of each post every week. Let me know what you think of them and if you have any styles you want me to try (as long as I don't have to cut my hair to do it)..JPG)
