I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm engaged to the most amazing guy (everyone else who says that is mistaken!) Really though, he is my match in so many ways. He is a fallible man, like all, but he is the vessel of God's perfect love. So, come September 6th, I will be Mrs. David Hall!!!My life's mission is to understand what it means that God loves us and somehow to share that with others.

Visit me at www.xanga.com/rock_on_girl if you want to see some more in depth writing. (well, some of it is anyways)

My Interests

What can I say? I love movies, and just hanging out in general...I love all sorts of music. I wish I could say that I am still practicing guitar, or piano, or played tennis, or soccer, but it just ain't so...I have been reading more, but they are usually books for class, but I am enjoying them much more than some of my undergraduate books... I am not a big sports person, but I like watching soccer and baseball, especially the Braves (even when they're bad). And I am a people person. I get my energy from being around people, well, friends anyways. But I do like some down time every once in a while. Sitting outside on a nice day by myself and a journal to write 6's and 7's on is the most rejuvenating thing I ever do.

I'd like to meet:

All my friends. Honestly I wish I had enough time and energy to keep up with everyone who I have journeyed with in one way or another.

Music:

Rockin out to semi-mellow: My Chemical Romance, Lovedrug, 7 Sharp 9, Switchfoot, 3 Doors Down, Third Eye Blind, Chevelle, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World, Out of the Silent PlanetGettin low: Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Lauryn Hill, Ludacris, Jay Z, John LegendOld School: Frank Sinatra, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, the Righteous Brothers, Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, Nat King ColeWay mellow (or just 'other'): Coldplay, Lifehouse (the first cd), Damien Rice, Rosie Thomas, Amos Lee, Jars of Clay, Chopin, Mozart, the Postal Service, Stay Another Season, Ray LaMontagne, Fiona Apple, Ben Harper

Movies:

The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, LotR, Signs, Braveheart, Gladiator, The Matrix (only the first one), Narnia, Crash, Band of Brothers... and basically anything with either Audrey Hepburn or Cary Grant, or on a different note- Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn

Television:

The Office, Lost, Law and Order, CSI. I blame Annabel for this one- Charlie and Lola- I love that show.

Books:

Currently reading Les Miserables, don't ask why. But it is an amazing book. CS Lewis is my favorite author, and actually some of the books I have read for class have been very good. Gary Moon, Richard Foster, Brennan Manning, and David Benner are some favorite authors as well...

Heroes:

My grandparents in Chicago, Doug and Debbie Whitworth- my old college and career pastors, Louie Giglio (although I don't know him personally), my friends, and a number of professors that I just adore (no, really)

thoughts on the path

Nothing has happened really, but it's amazing how you can feel so far from God and in a moment feel so connected and in love.  Nothing new has happened.  I didn't see any signs or feel any w...

my heart cries out

We have always been taught that if we want B to happen we must do A.  If we want to be healthy we must eat right and exercise.  If we want good relationships we must be a good friend/daughte...
