we'll collect the moments one by one, i guess that's how the future's done.

About Me

hi! i'm erin.

great words:
The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums,
but you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.
{marge.piercy}

wise words:
it is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it. the motive is everything. {a.w.tozer}

verse of my life:
and i jehovah god will be a wall of fire around my people, declares the lord. and i will be its glory within. {zechariah 2.5}

My Interests

living life, which generally includes the necessary amounts of sleepin, workin, and schoolin. and spending time with the people i love.if i had lots of free time and just as much money, i would: buy an island, create my own stylishly decorated lair, collect good art, and have my own personal zoo. (think the incredibles and james bond mixed together with erin)

I'd like to meet:

Jesus and people with spunk! i'm also looking for people to help me make "fetch" happen. If you are either of the latter, just holler.
