Faith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that He will.

About Me

Well, I am a relatively laid back type person, I enjoy spending time with friends and I am trying to figure out where God wants me. I am working as an aide at Sweetwater High School and am trying to save up money to move there. I hope that it doesn't take too long =). I go to church at Southwest Park Baptist. My family has been there for about 7 years now. It is a great place to be. I volunteer in the nursery alot. I love to spend time with my family. I am basically a geek. I have a really weird sense of humor. I try to see the good in every situation and in every person. I am learning to fall in love with the Lord. He teaches me something new about love every single day. I enjoy going to the park and walking or swinging. I like to just sit with friends and family and talk about life. I love to sing and I don't care that I don't do it well. I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up, and that is ok with me! I play the drums sometimes, and I am ok at them. I like bright colors and polka dots. I have never been the girl that finds her identity in being in a relationship. I refuse to settle because I know that God wants nothing less than the best for me. I love children and I hope that someday God sees fit to give me some of my own, however, I know that His plan is better than mine, so I will wait as long as He wants me to. I know that my God, who is bigger than anything that I can see or understand, will provide. He has a plan that I will never understand, because even if he revealed it to me, my mind which is only able to focus on the here and now, wouldn't be able to comprehend it. I heard Joel Osteen speak on TV and he said that we should always expect the best, because even if it isn't what we want, it is the best for us. God will never give us anything but the best. See the good in EVERY situation, for He is in every situation and He is GOOD. Ummmm....I guess that is all....
