Hello! Welcome to my profile. Here are just a few random facts about me, and, at the bottom, some quotes I hope you'll enjoy! Also, the wonderful picture of Faramir and Boromir to the side is by Catherine Karina Chmiel. You should look up her work if you like Lord of the Rings, she is an amazing artist.

PenName: Bluebonnet

First of all, I am a born again Christian, and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. In Him are found my life, freedom, hope, and purpose. I am so thankful for God's gift of grace that He has offered so lovingly and so freely. I also love that He delights in sharing the joy of creativity with us--He created the very concept of the arts, including writing, and I thank Him for enabling me to enjoy them!

Favorite books: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, Outlander Series by Dianna Gabaldon, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron series, Here Burns My Candle and Mine is the Night by Lizz Curtis Higgs, Canadian West series by Janette Oke, and The Voice in the Wind Series by Francine Rivers

Hobbies: I love to read, DIY projects/crafts, photography

I also have a profile on fictionpress where I have a few original pieces posted (written long ago for a literary magazine in school). Here's the link if anyone is interested: www.fictionpress.com/~bluebonnet.

Here are a few quotes that I've found and liked:

"Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared."

Eddie Rickenbacker (1890 - 1973)

"Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge."

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Titus Andronicus", Act 1 scene 2

"Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece-by thought, choice, courage and determination."

John Luther

"Though our feelings come and go, God's love for us does not."

C.S. Lewis

"The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers; but they rise behind her steps, not before them."

John Ruskin

"To love someone is to see him as God intended him."

Fydor Dostoyevsky

“The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.”

Rollo May

"Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you and no crowds shout your name."

Robert Louis Stevenson

"Die when I may, I want it said by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow."

Abraham Lincoln

“The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, 'I was wrong'.”

Sydney J. Harris

Thanks for reading this, and I hope you have a FANTASTIC day (or night)! God bless you!
