For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain--Philippians 1:21

About Me

Hey, I'm Stephanie. I am an Operating Room Nurse, and it's totally awesome. A bloody job indeed, but someone's gotta do it. And that someone is me. I'm also a full-time Jesus-Freak. I used to be scared of...um...well, everything. Then I realized that wherever I went or whatever I did, God would always be with me. There's no place I can go where He won't be also, and that is so comforting. The longer I'm in this, the more I come to realize that we have LITERALLY NO CONTROL over what happens next (in life, that is). I kinda makes me jealous because I like to hold the remote all the time, so when it's out of my hands I get really frustratd. Yeah, God is dealing with me on that one too. On a more random note, I can wiggle my ears; and I think "yuppie" is a funny word. I like taking pictures: http://nurs3gir1.deviantart.com
