True religion will not let us sleep in the comfort of our freedom- BONO

About Me

lets see. . . Im a dreamer/thinker/romantic/realist whose life is in a constant state of organized chaos, which Christ remains the center of. Currently I am in a state of waiting as I pray that the Lord will prepare me for a possible move to California in January. As difficult as it is to be patient, it is wonderful to feel content with where God has me right now as I look hopefully onward to what the future might hold.

Bono's Acceptance Speech at the NAACP:

Saint Theresa's Prayer: May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

My Interests

ThIngS I LuV:

living my life to the fullest for the Lord, losing myself in music only to find myself once again, quirky laughs, running barefoot in the park, hiking in the woods in autumn, drive-in movies, reading a book on a screened-in porch on a rainy day, climbing a big tree and not knowing how to get down, people- watching at coffee shops, dark chocolate covered strawberries, singing as loud as I can, driving with the windows down, watching movies/listening to music/reading books or anything that inspires me to live life more fully . . .
