Busier and busier....

I'm afraid that I am a bit overdue for an update! As Kallie mentioned in a comment a while back, life only seems to get busier-such is the case in my life at present, anyway. :)
In case you all have been wondering about me, well, I believe this picture will speak for itself! :P
I have had to "hit the books", as they say, since January and will probably stay there until May when I will graduate ;). So I apologize for my posts becoming so scarce and inconsistent; it is only a temporary condition, Lord willing, but a very necessary and hopefully a productive one. I am studying for several AP tests ("several" being a slight understatement) from about 10 am to 10 pm most days (with breaks, of course!). The tests will be administered in May, and then I should have a relatively free summer! :D In addition, I am increasing my piano practice time considerably, as I recently auditioned for a scholarship and admission into the college from which I hope (Lord willing!) to get my major in Piano, and at which I am currently taking piano lessons. :D Please keep me in your prayers, as these are very important events that will shape the next 2-4 years of my life, most likely; needless to say, I need and want my Lord in on these decisions! I would really appreciate yours prayers; that the Lord would give us (my parents and me) wisdom and guidance, that we would make the right choices and that I would use my time wisely, etc...thank you all so much for your support and encouraging notes! Please don't hesitate to leave a comment or drop me an e-mail; I may not be able to respond promptly, but they mean a lot! Thanks again for your patience in my so far scarce updates-by the middle of May (at the latest) that will hopefully change. :) Love and blessings!

and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him."
