About Me

I'm a Texas girl at heart and love to sing, dance, and worship my Jesus. I do my best to live by the words of James 1:2-4: "Whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything." Life is something that I know I am blessed to have, so my goal is is to live each day to it's full potential and do my best to take as many people as possible along for the ride. I know God has so much in store for me if I just let Him maintain control.

My Interests

DANCING!!! It's my new favorite thing to do! I also enjoy hiking, whitewater rafting, rock climbing/repelling, camping, pretty much any outdoor activity. I love to sing as well. I'm involved in an interpretive worship team called Grace In Motion, and taught ballroom dance lessons at a local dance studio for a few months. I've recently acquired a taste for salsa...dancing that is! It is so much fun! Feel free to come out to Highpoint Pinch at Jackson & Main if you're in the Memphis area around 10:30 on a Saturday night! Above all else, I'm interested in falling more in love with Jesus every day!

Guys Like That You're Charming
You're the girl most guys can't get out of their heads

You just seem to "click" with everyone you meet
So even if a guy forgets about you for a second... his friends haven't! What Do Guys Like About You?

Create your own friendquiz here

The Part of You That No One Sees
You are passionate, romantic, and emotional.
You put love first in your life, even though you have often been disappointed by it.
You expect to be swept of your feet, and you never expect infatuation to die out.

Underneath it all, you are scared that you aren't lovable.
Your insecurity has ruined many relationships, as you are unable to see the love that's really there.
You are secretly afraid of being alone. Confronting your insecurities is incredibly painful. What's the Part of You That No One Sees?

You Are a Red Flower
A red flower tends to represent power, seduction, and desire.
At times, you are loving like a red tulip.
And at other times, you're very enthusiastic, like a bouvardia.
And more than you wish, your passion is a bit overwhelming, like a red rose. What Color Flower Are You?

I'd like to meet:

My Jesus--And for those of you who have noticed the first friend on my page, read the blogs and the FAQ's about his myspace page. It is intended as a ministry and witnessing tool. I want everyone to know that He is my first love and my priority in all things. I don't always keep Him there, but putting Him on my page is as much of a reminder for me as it should be to others to keep Jesus first and foremost in all things. If you don't know Him, ask. The Bible says if you ask, you will be answered; if you seek, you will find; if you knock, the door will be opened to you. Jesus desires a relationship with YOU, not just some religious belief in Him. Even the demons believe in Jesus and fear Him with trembling. It is not enough to believe in Jesus. We must believe He is who He said He is--the one and only Son of God who came to save the world from the wrongs we have committed. We must also trust that He not only has the capability to save us (because He is 100% man and 100% God) but also that He did save us--by living a life of perfection, without sin, and then taking on the sins of the entire world as He was executed on a Roman cross to the point of death only to raise from the dead three days later to prove that He is greater than all things whether it is humanity, sin, or even death. Together, this belief and trust makes up what is known as faith. Faith is simply believing in your head and trusting with your heart. All that is left is to acknowledge Him with your lips and live your life according to His standards (as they are written in the Bible (the living, breathing Word of God) and as they are revealed to you by His Holy Spirit as you pray and meditate on that Word). I do not claim to be the perfect "Christian" because I often lower myself to the standards of the world and of humanity, but I strive to be more like Christ today than I was yesterday. Even though I don't always succeed, I know that I am forgiven and that God will reward my efforts to live a life of obedience to Him.

Music:

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Aretha Franklin, anything from the 40's, Todd Agnew, Mercy Me, Mandy Moore, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Third Day, Natalie Grant, Hinder, I pretty much like all music in general (and I use the term "music" with great care :D)

Movies:

Anything funny and/or romantic; my favs include Facing the Giants, A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, most chick-flicks, Braveheart, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Take the Lead (anything with Antonio Banderas & dancing has to be a great movie!), Dance with Me, and just about any Disney cartoon movie (especially Cinderella and Beauty & the Beast).

Your Kissing Technique Is: Perfect
Your kissing technique is amazing - and you know it.
You have the confidence to make the first move.
And you always seem to know what kissing style is going to work best.
Sometimes you're passionate, sometimes you're a tease. And you're always amazing! Are You a Good Kisser?

Television:

Law & Order (all versions of it), 24, Prison Break, Dancing With the Stars--don't really watch too much tv, though since I don't currently own a television. :)

Books:

The Bible, The Chronicles of Narnia, I'll Love You Forever (children's book), anything by C.S. Lewis

Heroes:

My Mommy! Ok, so it's a little cheesy, but she's an extraordinary woman who has been through so much and emerged with an incredible amount of Godly wisdom. She inspires my life! Jesus is my Hero of heroes! I love learning more about Him. The best part of having an intimate relationship with Him is to feel His kisses in the wind that brushes my cheek.
