About Me

I am a selfish, demanding, and sinful Christian girl. Sounds contradicting? I don't think so. Yes, it is true. I am a selfish and demanding person but who is saved by grace and grace alone. This is what my Lord has showed me and I believe He will continue to show me more in 2007. It is just going to take a few things for me to let go of in order to let my loving and merciful God work in my life fully. It is going to harder than ever. He has been showing me this through 4 and half years of college both at Butte and Corban. Oh how exciting to see where He takes me when graduate in May and get that degree in Psychology. God has give me the love and mercy for kids of all backgrounds especially since starting my internship this summer. Talking with little kids helps me to see the innocence that is lost in our world. They need someone to reach out to them as much as the older kids do. So why can we as older young adults be an example to them? God has showed me that we can make a difference if we let ourselves be separate from this world and take on the role. I better get off my soap box. Hehe. God also has made me see I am a fun and compassionate girl who just wants to have fun and needs to stop worrying what others think. This in return makes me slow to start talking unless someone starts to talk because then I can talk your head off. I love talking when u can get me going. Sadly, God has showed me that I can talk too much and can be a little blunt and opinonated about things especially when if I feel strong about it. I am excited to see what God has for me as He continues to work on this imperfect person that I am. Well if there is anything else u what to know about me, just add me and chat. Like I said I am open and willing to talk if u r.

My Interests

I LOVE to write in my journal. I have been writing in my journal since I was in the 6th grade. I want to make a book about my life and the trials that God has made me go through to help and encourage people. I am a big person on relaxing and when I get to I like playing solitaire and listen to music on my computer. I also like to visit waterfall and beaches and take pics if I get the chance to. I also like to wakeboard whenever I get the chance.

I'd like to meet:

James Dobson, Elizabeth Elliott, and Susie Shellenberg

Music:

I love everything excpet rap and classical. I swear I grew up in the wrong era because people like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby are amazing. But then of course there is Relient K and Steven Curtis Chapman especially his song God is God. Than of course there is Fiona Apple or Rascal Flatts. I love it all!
Micheal Buble has an amazing voice and i have to admit kinda cute : )

Movies:

I have to admit I am a hug movie buff which is my biggest struggle as a Christian. I love chick flicks like Never Been Kissed or Jane Austin movies but then I really like the action/thriller movies like the Matrix. I like to be kept on the edge of my seat. No horrors though. I like going to the movies especially those movies that have totally been hyped up. I love the hype.

Television:

I have recently became addicted to anything I can get my hands on and carries a good plot line. I love House and Lost even though I am behind on Lost. I also love the Office and my recent like (not yet a addiction) is 24. We will see where that takes me. I also like to watch Gilmore Girls and Scrubs especially when people have not seen them.I love the Office and Psychology

Books:

I am not much of a reader but I have been getting into Francine Rivers' stuff like Redeeming Love or Scarlet Theard. I also like books on Christian living written by Elizabeth Elliot or Max Lucado like Passion and Puirty or It is not all about me (I think hehe).

Heroes:

Elisabeth Eliott- her patience and undying love for her Savior My mom- we have grew closer together as I have grown up. She has made me see things in my own life that I either want to pursue or get rid of
