Heaven: Where every imperfection becomes perfection...

About Me

-My name is Brooke. I've been passionately in love with Christ since I was saved almost 3 years ago. It has definately been a journey and I've lost a lot. He's shown me that what I've lost was not mine, but became His on the day of my salvation when I gave my life to Him. I think it's far better to lose all things of this world than to lose the love He's given me. Four years ago, I would have never imagined walking in the direction that God had planned for me, but now I'm impatiently saying "Daddy what's next?" I'm a late blooming college student at Southeastern and I'm eager to see exactly where God is going to take me when I leave SEBC. I am so blessed to be close with my family and have been even more blessed to be a big part of my niece and nephews lives. To me there is nothing more important in this world than having a close relationship with Christ and a close relationship with family. I am naturally shy, but God has called me to be a bolder person, so it's time for me to step into the Jordan and trust in Him to carry me through.

My Interests

Saying I'm going to go back to the gym and never doing it, driving around just to get lost, a little bit of photography and most definately love to write.Hopefully this semester I will learn how to play the piano (A before I die type of goal! Yay!),one of these days I would love to learn how to play the guitar, to knit, to play tennis (the right way!), and maybe learn how to keep the hacky sack going.....

Seeing the beauty in which God has placed before me......

I'd like to meet:

Above all, I would love to be able to fall at the feet of Jesus. I would love to meet my mom again, to see her without any struggle and basking in the glow of Christ. I would love to see my uncle again who just recently passed away. He, besides Christ, held me together during the loss of my mother and no matter what the circumstances were, my uncle reminded me just how much that God loved me. I would love to meet Beth Moore who shows great humility. In one day with Beth, not having met her, you laugh, you cry, and you praise God; I could only imagine what she's like in person and who could ask for more?
