The Start of a Project (pun? just read)

Today in my media arts class we started our final project due at the end of the year, which is a claymation. Youtube's littered with them. My teacher's put up a few simple ones. His youtube username is thejamesshow, if you want to check him out.

Everyone's working in partners. Since I don't have any close friends in the first place in that class, I was originally hoping to be able to work with a guy named Adam who's getting like a 95. But for those of you who have read all of my previous blogs, if you can just remember that girl God had asked me to talk that one day... well, I'm working with her and I'm kind of excited because I'm just hoping that God will use me to reach her with His love.

She's I guess the kind of person you might call an "emo". And I really hope that none of you have any prejudices against them or anything of the sort. If you don't know the term - basically there's a certain stereotype that comes along with it all. You can look it up but because of that I think a lot of jokes and criticism has come of it. In some cases it's more than anything a fashion and just used for attention, but then the other side it is the association with things like depression, self-injury like cutting and stuff, often drugs, and also suicide.

Personally, I'm pretty sure they're just people that hurting for any number of reasons that don't know how to deal with it. They're people who need God's love and hope. I don't actually know her that well and I won't write anything I don't know of for sure but I've seen her right wrist and the marks left from cutting. She does drugs, I don't even think it's important which ones either.

I posted on one of my oldest blogs, a video that one of my friends helped make a while ago about cutting. Check it out.

Prayer for her and for me would be amazing! Pray that God would give chances for me to get to know her more and to talk to her. There's so many things I'd love to ask her if I knew her better. And please also pray that day I'll have the opportunity to tell her about Jesus! Thank you guys! Oh by the way, she's Wiccan so pray that that doesn't get in the way.
