About Me

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to Your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness." -Psalm 115:1
I raise guide dog puppies, which I really love. I am a weekend raiser for the Vision Project program at Metro State Prison. My first puppy was a black lab named Shadow, who is currently a working guide dog. My second puppy was a yellow lab named Charlie, who has been released from the program due to bad hips and adopted out. My third dog, a female yellow lab named Kessler, is currently in for training and breeder evaluation at the school. My fourth puppy is a yellow lab named Willie.
I'm a Christian girl that loves God and loves life. I love to help people. Everyday I learn something new and it serves to draw me closer to my savior. I like things pretty simple, but I also thrive when I'm challenged. God is the center of my life, and I try hard to obey Him, honor Him, and follow His will for my life. There is no greater success than fulfilling those things.
Jeans and a t-shirt are fantastic. I'm not a fancy, fashionable person with the latest and cutest styles. I don't wear make-up because it makes me feel fake and not myself (not to mention it's hard to get off lol). I believe beauty comes from the inside, so I don't worry too much about the outside appearances. It tends to distract people from getting to know me for who I am and not what I look like.
I love working on mechanical things, like cars and such, and I don't mind at all being covered in the grease. I enjoy manual work, like chopping wood or helping people move, etc. It is so fulfilling. I change the oil in my truck myself, as well as do other basic maintenance. I think I must be the only girl in the neighborhood that does, based on the looks of amazement I get by guys everytime I walk into Auto Zone with the full oil pan.
I'm fairly quiet and introverted because I think a lot, but I do know how and when to open up and be more extroverted. I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve most of the time, but I do feel emotion of course (I'm not a rock lol). If you want to know how I feel you have only to ask. I would be happy to tell you. And as you've probably figured out, I'm very outdoorsy and adventurous and love it!
And God has blessed me with an incredible boyfriend, Casey, which I am so grateful for. He has a heart for God, which is not only seen in what he says but how he conducts himself. God is awesome that He would think of bestowing me with such a blessing!

Verse of the Week
1 Corinthians 1:27-31
"But God chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things- and the things that are not- to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God- that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: 'Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.'"
Past V.O.W.'s:
Romans 1:18-20 / Hebrews 3:12-13 / Colossians 2:6-8
