My name is Lacey Blake Green.(Yes, Blake is my middle name!) Family is really important to me and not just my own family. I find myself connecting with families across the county. I’m always the family friend and make a sincere effort to go the baseball games and the dance recitals. Anywhere there's a cute face-that's where I'll be... Just look through my pics…there are so many cute kids and so little time! The one thing I think about daily is the little girl or boy that has no one to love them... The word, "ORPHAN" nearly brings me to tears. I hope to adopt one day. I have always wanted a multi-cultural, (rainbow) family. (Too bad Angelina Jolie beat me to it!!) In Sunday school, we used to sing “red, yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight…Jesus love the little children of the world.” Indeed He does and so do I!! I won’t lie, it’s very difficult sometimes keeping up with all the kids that I know and love, but I always find tiredness is a worthwhile price. Besides I find being still and resting a challenge. I’m an over achiever and push myself to exhaustion and sickness. My favorite philosophy has always been “Go big or GO home...” Hey, there is a world out there to change not to mention love of babies to love! However, I know I need to tone it down a bit and slow down for the sake of my health and sanity, (I’m not very effective when I’m too rundown and sick to get out of bed.) but ALAS, I am really stubborn. I want to be sincere in everything that I do- even if that means being sincerely angry or impatient....both for which I’m well known for. (Yes, judging by these qualities alone I will make a great politician one day.) By now you’ve probably figured out that I love adjectives because I use them often…. I’m a nerdy that way. The word beautiful is one of my favorites and you'll never hear me use it in a passive kind of way. Things can be nice or pretty, glamorous or stunning…. But I only use the word beautiful when something captivates my full attention, enough to make still in that moment. The most important thing you should know about me is that I love to love (because God has been kind enough to love me and continues to save me from the messes I sometimes get myself into.) and while it’s not required I appreciate it when someone takes the time to love me back in a tangible way. Words mean nothing to me, but action goes a long way. Gifts are great! I love to buy people things because I take a long time to try to pick out a relevant and meaningful gift. So I certainly don’t mind receiving the same! Tangible expressions are especially important to those of us who are pack rats and can’t seem to get rid of the by now tattered doll that was given to us by our best friend in second grade… Yes, it’s true because of sentimental reasons I have all kinds of weird stuff I’m not sure that I will ever part with.
