About Me

Hello! I'm Michaela. I'm 22, and I'm pretty much very excited to be alive in this window of time. I enjoy music, photography and design. I like to spend time with the people dear to my heart, as well as the beautiful people on the streets of the world. I love my family. I like to sing in my car, take jumping pictures, and listen to the rain. I also enjoy a good video chat to norway! But most of all, I enjoy waking up to a new day knowing that God has amazing things in store. now it's up to us to agree with that and run without stopping towards the goals and dreams he places in our heart. If you want to ask a question, please feel free. I'm glad to have you stop by.
I just recently returned from India and have recently updated my missions website about it all. For more blogs, info and pics go to: www.the1040project.org
