About Me

Right now I am going to a small Bible college in Missouri working towards a degree in Christian Counseling. When I am done with school I hope to work in a crisis pregnancy center. I love live music, sewing and reading.Romans 12:20 [message] Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.When the Saints by Sara Groves Lord I have a heavy burden of all I've seen and know It's more than I can handle But your word is burning like a fire shut up in my bones and I can't let it go And when I'm weary and overwrought with so many battles left unfought I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars And when the Saints go marching in I want to be one of them Lord it's all that I can't carry and cannot leave behind and it all can overwhelm me but when I think of all who've gone before me and lived the faithful life their courage compells me And when I'm weary and overwrought with so many battles left unfought I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars I see the shepherd Moses in the Pharohs court I hear his call of freedom for the people of the Lord And when the Saints go marching in I want to be one of them And when the Saints go marching in I want to be one of them I see the long quiet walk along the Underground Railroad I see the slave awakening to the value of her soul I see the young missionary and the end of the spear I see his family returning with no trace of fear I see the long hard shadows of Calcutta nights I see the sisters standing by the dying man's side I see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor I see the man with a passion come and kicking down the door I see the man of sorrows and his long troubled road I see the world on his shoulders and my easy load This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
