I Am a Soldier

I am a soldier in the army of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer.
The Holy Bible is my code of conduct.
Faith, Prayer, and the Word are my weapons of Warfare.
I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience,
tried by adversity, and tested by fire.
I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted for eternity.
I will either retire in this Army or die in this Army;
but, I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out.
I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable.
If my God needs me, I am there.

I am a soldier. I am not a baby.
I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up,
pumped up, picked up, or pepped up.
I am a soldier.
No one has to call me, remind me, write me,
visit me, entice me, or lure me.

I am a soldier. I am not a wimp.
I am in place, saluting my King, obeying His orders,
praising His name, and building His kingdom!
No one has to send me flowers, gifts,
food, cards, candy, or give me handouts.
I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to.
I am committed.
I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around.

I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside.
I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit.
When Jesus called me into this Army, I had nothing.
If I end up with nothing, I will still come out even. I will win.
My God will supply all my needs. I am more than a conqueror.
I will always triumph. I can do all things through Christ.
Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me.
Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me.
Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me.
Governments cannot silence me, and hell cannot handle me!

I am a soldier.
Even death cannot destroy me.
For when my Commander calls me from this battlefield,
He will promote me to a captain.
I am a soldier, in the Army, I'm marching, claiming victory.
I will not give up. I will not turn around.
I am a soldier, marching Heaven bound.

*shrugs* Well...that's your desicion, Butterfleye, but could you tell me why you don't like it? Or does it just click wrong?
:icontapfer-wolf:
Thanks, dannie, glad ya' like! :D
:iconbutterfleye:
nose way to big, doesn't look real as in far that could be, it's drawn white with a line around it, there is no depth in it, can't say anything about contrast, cause there is no contrast.
You didn't use any grey tones or highlights or however you put it in english in it. (thats way no depth and contrast)
:iconcrockpot67:
I think that Butterfleye was a bit harsh ^^; I do see contrast and the angle you chose is an akward one--ESPECIALLY for a wolf pose (from the front they always seem to look so distorted when ya draw them, don'tcha think? ) Well, anyway, just keep at it n' you'll improve TONS with time--we all do :) Good job! :clap:
:icontapfer-wolf:
You're right...the nose is way to big, it is drawn in a very simple way (only .5 lead and outline because I suck), and I've never been very good at depth. I didn't use any grey tones or highlights either, because, again, I suck. All this is true, and more. However, I do plan on working on said things and more as well. I've only recently (within the last 8 or so months) gotten back into drawing and before that I was...ohh...about 9 (ya' don't use it, ya' lose it ><;). That's no excuse, I realize...but that is my reason.

Thank you for your critiquing, I shall try to take note of said items in the future. :D
:icontapfer-wolf:
Thank you, crockpot67, I appreciate the support ^^. And I definitly agree...it is an akward and harsh angle (of course..all of them are for me :P *chuckles* ) You know what they say...when at rock bottom, only way to go is up, & I do plan to keep on movin' up ^^, and thanks again! :D
:iconcrockpot67:
aw, no problem! I think it's so awesome that you draw wolves, they've always been the bain of my drawing existance *sigh*....hmm....maybe I'll give it another crack at the bat....If I do, maybe I'll didicate it to ya :D
Anyhoo, I look forward to seeing your artistic improvments/accomplishments!! :D :D
