About Me

First and foremost, I am God's joy and peace. I have come a long way in the last few years, I am blessed to have an amazing God on my side who is refining me to make me like pure gold. My big family is a gift from an AMAZING and REAL God. I love being a daughter, a little and big sister, and Auntie Cass. Most importantly, though, I love Jesus and am looking forward to what He has for me.
I am thoroughly enjoying this new time of stepping up and out of what I've known and relying on God every day. There is no one, nothing in all the world that can compare with my Lord. He is the reason I breathe, the reason I love, and He is the reason I risk. I want to always live in the RIGHT NOW, taking every opportunity to live my life fully by the love of my King.
In April I moved into an apartment with Sarah and Kelley and we are having a blast staying up way too late for how early we work and laughing a LOT. But it's one of the best things in the world to share life with others in community.
I love to sit down with a good cup of coffee in my favorite mug (details matter to me). I am goofy and love it: I get amazingly excited about a cute pair of shoes with hearts on the inside or really neat desktop backgrounds, I make funny faces as much as I breathe, I push the tip of my nose down while thinking, by 10 o'clock at night delirium hits and the world becomes a joke to me and I will laugh at pretty much anything. Life is busy, but life is good with Jesus.

My Interests

The Kingdom of God; People of all ages-there is nothing greater you can invest in; Writing; Working Out (I'm a little obsessed at the moment); Laughing until my stomach aches, being silly (when I'm extremely tired this can get ret), quality time with friends and family; TULIPS and the beauty of fall and spring; Living my life for the One and Only Jesus Christ.

THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE: Every day God's grace abounds.
Every day His mercies are new.
Every day His arms are open.
Every day His grace rains down
Into the places we didn't know we needed it.
The mistakes we unknowingly (or knowingly) make
Are covered already by His sacrificial blood.
He died so I could live.
He gave His life so I could have it.
He so loved to draw me into His embrace.
My life is not my own.
My purpose is greater than I can fathom.
My freedom is not just about me.
I am a history-maker, a life-changer,
An atmosphere shaker.
I am loved, treasured, cared for in every way.
I am not alone,
I have the King of the Universe on my side.
Whom shall I fear?
My life is held in the hands of the Creator of all things.
No need to worry, no need to fear,
No need to wonder if I can draw near.
He is always standing right beside me.
He has my back in case I fall.
His love is never-ending
And I cannot do a thing to make Him love me any more
Or love me any less.
He created me.
He wove me together in my mother's womb.
And there He saw all the days laid out before me,
Promising to always be here.

I'd like to meet:

anyone. :)

Music:

For me, the lyrics matter a LOT. If there isn't a general sense of purpose in an artist's repertoire, I have a hard time connecting to it. Sometimes I get hooked on a certain CD that I will listen to it nonstop for weeks.

I like worship music, contemporary Christian and others based on lyrics/sound. Some of my favorite artists are Nate Sallie, John McLaughlin, Anthony Skinner. I really like needtobreathe...hence my profile song. And I really like Brett Dennen's song Don't Forget. :)

Movies:

Currently I am into chick flicks...don't know why. That measn my favorites are Miss Congeniality, Ever After, Just Like Heaven, What a Girl Wants, Knight's Tale, 27 Dresses. But, I grew up with an older brother who got me into gangster movies and action films...so I definitely enjoy them too. Oh, and Braveheart is a fave too.

Television:

LOST, Heroes, Biggest Loser

Books:

The Shack by William P. Young...it's an awesome book!, Bill Johnson's books (making my way through them, they rock!); Nonfiction (Don Miller) and Fiction (Francine Rivers)

Heroes:

JESUS (He's my hero, my prince of peace, my King),
Mom (she raised 3 kids all on her own and she's pretty neat in general),
Dad (he's the BEST dad in the world),
Beth (if you don't know her, you're missing out)

Life

So, it's been a while since I've actually updated on my life. It's interesting looking at what it is now, compared to what it was even just a couple of months ago. I'm much busier than I used to be, b...

Spring: The Budding of Life in Nature and the Heart

I can’t help it, I just love the new life of Spring. It’s just the way I’m wired. As I walk or drive by the budding trees or flowers, there’s something in me that leaps. The be...

Focus and Contention

I have seen the concept of us living in a war multiple times in the last few days. Before I was like, "yeah, yeah, I know that already." But Sunday I was really impressed upon the fact that this is a ...

Inhale God, Exhale Beauty

In the past few weeks I feel like I have grown so much. They have been pretty full weeks, with the last two weekends being gone for Life Change and then Jesus Culture. I'm glad that life is getting ba...

Where we refuse to go, we cannot find healing

Today was a rough day for me. For the last couple of days I have kind of felt like my heart is a piece of meat that's being tenderized, but knew that there was a reason and purpose for it. I've starte...

I found a poem I wrote a while ago...

This is a poem that I wrote probably last semester. I call it a poem even though I don't know if it can be characterized as a poem, but that's okay (the way my mind works is I have to be very specific...

Run the race

The Lord gave me the impression of running the race with our all on Sunday. Last night when I was in Ecclesiates, Solomon spoke of how everything in this world will pass away, so do your best now.&nbs...
