My name is Angela. Angela translates to angel messenger but some times I am a mess and have anger and my sister pointed out that no one would get the joke. I was raised in church, but I did not use that as an excuse to be as rebellious as many of my friends were. God reined me in young. I have been walking as close as I can ever since. I try hard to meet people where they are but hold my self to a high standard. I have been guilty of a puffed up head., in the end I have fallen short of the glory and have filthy rags for righteousness like everyone ells.
I was a military brat that moved around often. Ended up serving six years in the Illinois Air National Guard myself. Yea, I went to war (Kuwait), no I was not in combat. The way I was raised has given me a unique perspective on a lot of things an so I march to the beat of my own drum. I am honest to a fault and it works as a very nice shield, at times against men. No better way to run people off than to be to honest to soon. I like it that way thou because then the friends I make are really special. I do not date very much I admit. So what, I know that the one God has for me will be perfectly suited to complement my temperament. Besides I would rather be alone than in a bad relationship. Although youth and foolishness has not left me completely pure and heartache free.
I am an artist in training, I am still learning what I am capable of making or creating, as well as what I like. So far I have a few classes under my belt and have my hand on the beginnings of oil painting, water color painting, acrylic painting, plaster sculpture, ceramics and drawing. I still have a lot to learn in all aforementioned areas. I did not necessarily chose art as my first or second major. I did not even want to be a artist but before I knew what I was going to do God start giving me dreams about paintings. When I went to sign up for classes the only ones I felt excited over were the ones related to art. I did not know if I could paint and all the lovely comments about starving artist did not make me really want to try . I tried and I really enjoy making something. If that something is really good and made me grow and stretch as an artist then I quote God and say “it is good”.
