Greatness lies not in trying to be somebody but in trying to help somebody.~Unknown~

About Me

I love my life. Jesus is my first love and fills every second with strength and joy and passion. My greatest desire is to serve Him and glorify Him. I'm engaged to a man who stands beside me, holding my hand tightly, in times of sunshine or rain and we thank God for every moment because it's a gift. I have great friends and family who will cry with me, laugh with me (or at me), rejoice with me, and will even love me when we disagree. I'm blessed to be able to encourage them and will always be there for them. People that lie, are fake, are immature, that gossip, and love to cause drama for no reason make me sad and angry. No one is perfect but why do we need to treat others so horribly? I highly respect the people that stand by what they believe and live it out their daily lives! All of us have our short comings and failures but please always try to treat others with love and respect.

My Interests

The Bible, movies, music, running, working out, encouraging anyone I can find, shiny objects, flowers, sunsets, sunrises, making other people laugh so hard they cry, praying, hiking, thunder storms, dancing for no other reason than to be happy, laughing loudly (I've been told I have some lungs for such a small person!), random humor, being playful, always smiling, reading, and spending time with Jesus and His word.

I'd like to meet:

People with humility and passion who live by what they believe! Encouraging, optimistic, loving friends who will keep me accountable, challenge me, teach me, and help me grow in my faith. See life as an adventure and enjoy all of its beauty!!! Find joy in every moment that God gives for us for it is a gift and another chance to serve each other and bring Him glory!!!


Music:

My tastes in music vary. I listen to a lot of Christian music but it ranges from country to oldies to rock to pop(not a fan of angry music though...I'm just not much into being angry).

Movies:

I love movies. Watching movies is like needing food for me. Random movie nights are the best. I'll watch most movies over and over until I have them memorized.

Television:

I try not to watch a lot a tv but I am the dork who who could watch the History channel all day. I'm secure in being a dork though!

Books:

Ooooo....I LOVE TO READ! The Bible! I read a lot of Christian books. I like learning more about what I believe. The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis are the best ever. Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility all by Jane Austin, The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Gone with the Wind and the sequel Scarlett...good stuff!!! Even Stephen King and Dean Koontz are favorites of mine. I like so many books that there isnt enough room to put them all and that isnt a joke (so sad but true!). I read a lot!

Heroes:

My Lord and Savior Jesus, for loving me enough to die for my sins and for every moment that he has been by my side since.

The most important day of my life!

Reminders

Do you ever have those moments when you are reminded of who you are?  For some people they are not needed, but for me, they need to be more frequent.  Now these profound moments are sometime...
