About Me

I often struggle with being imperfect. I make the same mistakes over and over again and I am so hard on myself for it. I am starting to accept, though, that I am a work in progress; GOD'S work in progress. I choose to let Him shape and mold me until the day of Glory when I finally will be perfect - without sin, without angst, without bitterness, without sadness, without laziness, without jealousy or envy, without lust, without addiction, without ALL of those things that try to interfere with my relationship with my Lord. But it's not about me... it's all about the Lord as it SHOULD be, and seeing His plan unfold just as the Bible says it will is so awesome and reassuring!It's not always easy, but the blessed hope of Heaven keeps me hanging on. Jesus instructs us to persevere and to not be perverted by the things of this world, and I do, for I KNOW I will not be left behind, and that's what makes this all worth it, for this lifetime is only a speck compared to eternity...

My Interests

I love getting out of the house and being active! Some of my favorite things are tennis, shopping, horseback riding, snowboarding, cooking/eating, photography, sunbathing, camping, hiking, soccer, karaoke, billiards, traveling, bowling, swimming, line dancing (and just dancing in general), PGE Park for America's favorite pastime, driving to clear my thoughts, concerts (preferably outdoors)...Some other things I love are ketchup, good friends, animals (except spiders), praying, rollercoasters, cold leftovers, watching movies that I can stay awake for, miniature golf, flip-flops, Starbucks or Dutch Bros., scrapbooking, and worshipping His majesty of course... among others :)

I'd like to meet:
