About Me

I fell in love with my Redeemer at a very young age...and I've never once regret it...Jesus and living for Him means more to me than anything else...therefore all the things that I love and is passionate about flows from my relationship with Christ...I love my family...I LOVE to laugh...I'll stay up for a good conversation...I daydream and think a lot...I'm Haitian-American and thank God everyday for allowing me to grow up with such a rich culture...I'm a helpless romantic and believe in marriage (basically...it CAN work!!)...I'm a lover of music and use it as a catalyst to worship God, encourage His people, and calm my own spirit...I desire to accomplish everything God created me to do so I won't leave this world full of potential...but empty of every single gift, talent and skill...I love to travel and hope to one day see this world my God created...I don't tolerate mean-spirited people...I absolutely love mangos...bright blue and cloudless skies...the smell of the beach...and the peace I find in the country...I go weak for the presence of God...I appreciate the "little things" in life that makes a BIG diffrence...like a great novel...deep-tissue massages...singing with my friends just because we love to sing...soggy cereal...long showers...greeting cards with a special note inside...peppermint tea...story-telling...staying in on a rainy day...spending time with my godchildren...and the sound of my mommy singing on the phone...I miss my Dad and think about him every day...because of him...I believe in smiles and hugs...and inspite of all I've been through...I'm still telling myself to dream...
