Carpe Diem...not just a great place to get coffee!

About Me

I'm 30! Yikes!! I love Jesus, friends (the family you choose!), family (I am an auntie~thanks to my sis-Robyn, Sophie is 2yrs & 11months going on 15!! and Michael is 7months-Nov 1.) my church(People of Mars Hill~Greatest Church EVER!!-My pastor is Jack!!)& coffee, particularly Starbucks!(Who doesn't?)I'm a traveler(at heart) who wants to be more passionate about the things of God! I think that includes smiling at people for no apparent reason, really listening to friends, and helping people in need. I'm drawn to missions. I want to travel the world, doing good for people. I seek direction, covet your prayers and desire Gods providence for my life(don't we all.) Music and Movies are just 2 more of my passions. Two of my favorite groups are Shane & Shane and Big Daddy Weave and I will argue anyone down that the greatest male singer of our day is Clay Aiken. (he's flawless, vocally!) I'm addicted to television and movies, too much in fact. I make my friends watch the ENTIRE film credits when we go to the movies, so I can see who was the "Best boy grip!":) And I own enough movies to start my own Blockbuster. And this isn't even the real essence of who I am. I want to, one day, be able to say that I followed my "Big Dream" in Life, the one God gave me. Right now, I think deep down in my soul that, that Dream is to be a Christian Singer. But one day in the not so distant future I want to create Movies that make a real difference in this world, like Mel Gibson's "Passion." So I guess another big part of me wants to be a filmmaker.

My Interests

Music, Movies, Missions, Traveling and Doing good for people is my passion. And I like to make people smile! :) Oh, and did I mention Coffee?? :)Lenny's...I LOVE LENNY'S!!!!!(Read my Blog)

Is this how God works in your Life?

ok, so it's late, and I'm tired, and I'd already gotten offline once, but you know how God can be... You get that nagging feeling in your gut that says, "you're not going to sleep unless you do this."...
