About Me



Want this badge?I lit a candle on the DARFURWALL, WON'T YOU DO THE SAME? It's agreat way to make a difference! Click here to find out how!Courtnay!!!!!!!!!!ONE EVENT Get Your Own! | View SlideshowIn the light of things that have occurred in my life in the past six months, both postive and negative, I feel compelled to revise my "about me" and bring it to another level. In this journey we call life, there are various twists and turns that come at us unexpectedly, which in turn can make it hard for one to know which way to go. I believe in putting it in God's hands and having faith that I will be guided in the direction that is intended for me to go. I have my questions and at times my doubts, but ultimatley my journey has made me who I am today and I am thankful for the guidance. I can truthfully say that I am proud of who I have become and will gracefully accept the changes that are yet to be. My family and my dearest friends are all pieces of my soul. I learn from them continuously and in my heart I know how exceptionally blessed I am. I strive to give back to this world with all that is in my power, although at times I do falter. I wish I could make more of a difference in this world instantly, but I know deep within my soul, I will carry out and accomplish my mission before my time on earth is through. There will always be road blocks and obstacles to overcome, it is inevitable. What truthfully matters to me is how I go about making it through the rain and the pain and bringing sunshine and brighter days back into my life. I have crutches that sustain me called family and friends and faith in God. For me, these are all the supplies I need on my journey. Without them I may weaken, for they give me tremendous strength. So I say, be on your way as am I and make a difference in someone's life, if not the entire world!

MURPHY!!!!!!!Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. If you love someone, tell them you love them regardless if you think they already know. Tomorrow is gauranteed to no one! Everything happens because it is the way God intended. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.

As nice as it would be to give all of the money to aid directly, this is not the most effective strategy, long term. The political strife and hostility is what is causing these atrocites. all of the m...
