I am here for Friends

About Me

Hey everybody...I'm Joanna :] To get straight to the point, I want to live a life that brings glory to God; a life that brings more attention to Him than myself. "Why?" you might ask. Well, because Jesus died to give me life, and I'm thankful for that. Plus a lot of other sweet reasons that will most likely be blogged.
Personality wise, I'm a dork. I like to laugh and make others laugh. Often times you will hear me cracking a lame joke or saying something nonrelative and out of the blue. I am strange. And also normal. It's true, I have serious moments in which I ponder the great questions and answers in our existences. I find joy in the little things. Some of those things include smelling everything in Bath & Body Works, sad attempts at snowboarding in the winter, and waving like a maniac at strangers in the car (which doesn't always bring forth pleasant results). Playing my guitar and writing songs is another passion that I would like to develop further. If you were to ask me what I plan on doing in a few years I would not be able to give you a real answer. I can tell you my future career won't have much to do with the medical field. Blood and guts just aren't my thing. Something involving youth ministry? I like kids. Working at a radio station? That could be fun. Musicianing? Singing is great. I suppose I'll find out sooner or later :P
Anyways, feel free to message me or whatever, I love making new friends and encouraging people!

"Me with my words, and you in silence..."

I've cried more in these last couple weeks than I have for a long time. I'm scared, I feel guilty, and hopeless. When his life seems to be coming to an end, I realize how much he means to me; how much...
