Also hi I'm back

Alright, so...

I will be logging out of the Shard for a month. 

I feel like for some time now God has been calling me to give Him my entire life, and I've been responding with "Sure, except for this one thing, 'cause it's a really good community through which I've been blessed by You countless times." 

But God doesn't just call us to give up bad things. Sometimes, there will be an amazing, good thing thing that He has provided that nevertheless gets between us and Him. I have to clear out the good things in my life that are distracting me from the Goodness of God.

This is really hard, and I hope to come back in a month. I hope that this will be something I can give to God, and He'll say, "Thanks, now I have something for you to do with this." But I don't know for sure, so I can't promise when (or if) I'll be back. So this may be bye forever. (Hopefully not though)

One more thing: I will be holding off the logout until tomorrow night. If you want prayer for anything, please reply to this status or dm me sometime in the next ~24 hours. I'm always happy to pray for you!

Okay so

I'm going to be travelling to college tomorrow. And that's really exciting and really scary.

uhh...

I guess prayers please, if you pray?

Thanks!

Heya everyone, I'm making a list of my Shardbuddies, so if you want to be one (or already are one) please tell me, thanks!

Keep being awesome, friends!

Miss you, hope you're doing okay!

So this showed up on Facebook, and I did like my third comment ever on any FB post

I just had to do it...

Come back, we miss you!

Vapor, you're one of my best friends in the world. You've cheered me up countless times, and I'd hate for you to go. But if you need to leave the Discord, even the Shard, for your mental health, please do. Your health is more important than what I want, and my health is not riding on you staying with us (if it was, that would be a bad thing). 

You were created in God's image, which makes you incredibly valuable, and don't you forget it. He loves you more than anyone else ever could. I'm praying for you, Vapor, every day.

Some of you may know that my parents are missionaries working in a third-world country. We've been in the states for the past 6 months, but by this time tomorrow, my family will be on a plane, heading back onto the mission field. 

I won't be going with them.

I graduated from high school last year, and I've completed one semester of college online. But I've been living with my family that whole time, and it's going to be so weird being without them. I probably won't see them for at least a year and a half, possibly three and a half years. It hasn't really set in yet, but I know I will miss them soon enough.

This is going to be hard for them, too, cos I'm the oldest child, so this is the first time they've had someone leave. 

I'd appreciate prayers. Thanks everyone!

Welcome to adulthood, my friend!

LOOK at this awesome map of Washington my sister made for me!

Say hello to my new profile pic! Thanks @JesterLavorre for this beautiful drawing!

Hey, so just wanted to let you guys know, I won't be on here very much for a while now. I've been struggling with school, and I need to limit my distractions.

Please, if I post any time in the next month, or even if you see me viewing a page, scold me. 

Farewell, I shall return!

So, my sister is getting foot surgery tomorrow. She's been having pain in her foot for a while, and none of the physical therapy or other treatments have worked. She hasn't been able to run for about six months, which is tough cuz she's normally really active and athletic. So hopefully it works and she can recover in time for my family to go back to the mission field in January. Prayers would be appreciated!
