About Me

/.. /.. /.. *Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you are to become who you want to be.* /.. /.. /..
Well first and most importantly, I love Jesus. I'm a full time student, pursuing a degree in elementary education. I try to be optimistic. I am very much so a people person. I try not to be over the top and judgmental, I am not perfect myself, I KNOW! I love life and having fun! Family and friends are very important to me. I enjoy anything outdoors. I love cooking & crafts, i am kind of an old lady in that aspect! I like to try and stay somewhat fit, but I'm not very disciplined about it. I am a big goof... I'm fun though :)God gave me eyes to see, not judge. Ears to listen, not ignore. He gave me a heart for compassion, not cruelty; And a brain to make a difference. As long as I can stand I will keep climping, and as long as I can breathe I will keep praying!

My Interests


Jesus. I like to see new things and meet new people. Its fun to talk with people who share the same passions and interests as me. Also learning more about those who don't. I love the outdoors wherther it be fishing camping or just enjoying nice weather. I like to shop, spend time with my Jesus, and act silly with all my crazy buddies! "Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fiber of character but strengthen it. Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before."

I'd like to meet:

Your mom... J/K!I can't really think of anyone I am dying to meet but I am definitely looking forward to meeting my creator one day :) God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. -C.S. LewisGet Your Own! | View SlideshowI pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, that to know this love that surpasses knowledge-- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.Ephesians 3:16-19
