I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

So i never know how to begin these things, but i'd like to think that I'm a passionate person who loves life & loves people, esp. kids. i'm learning, growing, changing in so many areas of my life, but i want to love the One who made me, & people with my whole life. And be real, genuine, & authentic in the process... i'm definitely into dreaming, wondering, considering, contemplating, thinking outside the box, discussing, having conversations, (conversing :)stuff like that... And that all sounds deep, but know that i can't take myself too seriously, as i love to laugh. And anyone who knows me knows i can get SO excited sometimes i'm just ecstatic and can't contain myself! sometimes I laugh so hard @ things, it makes me drool! But i do want to take life seriously. Cuz' i never know what day will be my last. Lately, i've been doing a lot of organizing things around my apt., which doesn't really sound that interesting or fun, but i definitely make it! And i like going to/attending concerts & checking out new bands/singers/artists. Ummmm, i guess i'm also known for reading the dictionary, going to rummage sales & thrift stores, going jogging/yogging, hangin' out @ the coffee shop, remembering random information, rockin' out to to music wherever i am, not just at concerts, daydreaming, & watching people! i've gotten into cooking a little bit, but not really large meals b-cuz' i live by myself :) i especially love to watch sunsets & sunrises: those make me dream & imagine! Oh, and i like Crossing, a young adult ministry, @ church, as well as exploring & travelling this great big, gigantic world of ours. i also like mission conferences called Urbana a ton. i want to know more of what it means to live each day to the fullest & the abundant life of which Jesus speaks.My life verses/passage is Jeremiah 29:11-13, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. you will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart."

My Interests

Jesus, listening to music whenever possible, travelling, missions stuff, sunsets & sunrises, (& surprises :), nature in general, watching people, meeting people, hanging out w/ people, connecting & sharing meals with people & hearing their stories, talking in crazy voices around friends, reading, rummage sales, thrift shopping, writing, babysitting, driving, ummmmm, learning, growing, changing, being, etc.... are those interests?, music, hangin' out/chillin', (little known fact: doing drywall, painting, & working on houses, believe it or not)!, & in case i didn't mention it already, music!
