well // i'm ginny p // i live life for Christ // in orlando // my life is overwhelming in a mostly good way // i love what i do and i do what i love. the actual name for both of those things is calvary orlando master's commission, where i am the director of education and also the director of girl's discipleship. both are awesome. www.comconline.net if you're interested, or even if you're not // i am dating an amazing guy who can give me a paperclip and make me smile... i think i'll keep him // even though my actual family is still in virginia, i have established quite a wonderful family here that i can count on for anything // i am almost always on campus // i love working with my high school girls (YEAH CLICK!)- they keep me laughing and also keep my hair turning gray. one thing i've learned through working with both them and my master's girls is that the rewards of discipleship far far outweigh any frustrating days/weeks/months in the process // discipleship is the calling on my life, and i will answer it. the rest of "me" are details far too complex and contradictory to list, so i'll plead the fifth about right now.if your dreams arent big enough to scare you, they're not big enough... --lloyd zigler, founder of Master's Commission www.livejournal.com/users/ginnybeth_comc to read about my daily insanities here in fun orlando."Let all that you do be done in love" 1COR16:14..

"But then they danced down the street like dingledodies, and I shambled after as i've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn burn burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "awww...". --KerouacInstant Messenger: bobsaget4pres

Ireney- my crazy former youth group leader- who never gave up no matter how many times i rolled my eyes at her or tried to corrupt what she was doing. My Girls- for overcoming some incredible obstacles... it blesses me to see you grow.
