So guys... I'm not sure how to explain this. This upcoming weekend would normally be the weekend my youth group does Winter Retreat- a time for us to focus on and draw closer to God and hear from Him. I loved those trips- they hold many of my most powerful experiences with God, where His love was so strong to me, and even mark times where He pulled me out of dark places I might not have come back from. Every time, He revived me. I'm NOT going into details or specifics, but this year is gonna be different. Last year was unexpectedly my last year. Now... well... God's lead us somewhere new, and we're experiencing things and growing in ways we never would've if we'd stayed where we were. It's been a few months now, and this year, I'm stepping into a 21-day fast with my fam- and our church fam. That's why I said I'd be offline- Scratch is gonna be one of the things I'm fasting. I've taken a couple grace periods out of today to get this project out and go through any projects I'm not gonna be sharing anytime soon. Upon this, I'm also in a critical place in my life right now- I mean on the outside, I've been fairly okay, but with everything else on the inside, I'm in a place where the time I have with God is literally my only real pleasure. It's complicated, but it's just been really, really hard for me to process some stuff right now. Who knows, by the end of this fast, this might be one of the last times I ever get on Scratch. Believe me, I never could've seen this coming and really thought things would've looked a little differently, specifically with my vVMONSTERVv alt. I apologize that a lot of that stuff I thought I would've at least started sharing by now, if not all of it, might not be happening after all. But this year, something big is gonna happen, and God's gonna lead us into it. I... I have to yield to that, guys. That's why I'm doing this fast. Last year may have been my last Winter Retreat, but it prepared me for the rest of the hard year ahead. This is not gonna be easy, but I have to trust that what God does in this season will prepare me for what's ahead this year. Even if I have to do it scared. In the meantime, not only have I put what could potentially be my last projects here on this account, including this one, but I will be hanging on for dear life, and God's the only way I'll ever get through this. Pray for me? Maybe? Just keep holding on to Him, y'all- and remember He loves you always. God bless, poodle700
