About Me

There is so much to say...so much yet to be discovered... It's all a journey of the heart --this journey called life. Want to know more about me? Subscribe to my blog.
It's worth it. The love, the pain, the going around in circles to move forward... it is worth it -all of it. Life will never be the same once we grow in love. Small steps at first then it becomes larger leaps until at last we are frolicking like our hearts have always longed to. And we'll wonder at the strides we took, the ache of our hearts that learning to love required, and we will say, I would do it all over again.
I just want to love people. I want to see people become who they were created to be and nothing less. I want to peel off the layers and look straight inside. Oh, hi... how can I be of service to you?
And I want to do this all over the world. I love the nations. I'm going to Israel (July '08) and China (Aug '08). If you'd like to partner with me financially, please do so here with my newest friend, PayPal.
Oh, and I love burning hearts =)

My Interests

Showmanites
Real McCoys
Bethany Joy Swift

Love. People. Family. Culture. Missions. Traveling. Communication. The exposing of hearts. The coming out from hiding places. Discovery. Coffee. Creativity. Beauty. Depth. Reconciliation. Community. Healthy physical affection. Sound of the ocean waves crashing on the shore. Process. Sushi. Sunsets. Stars. First breaths after the rain. Hot spiced chai on a leather couch and a cold day. Holding hands, I like it a lot. Impartation. Growth. Challenge. The feeling of the breeze against my skin. Fairy Tales. Learning. Singing. Choirs. Orchestras. Dressing up. Hot baths. Writing. Telling stories. Drinking tea from porcelain cups and eating crumpets on a rooftop when the moon is out.

My most enjoyable moments are sitting with friends...skipping the shallow and diving right into the deep. I want to know the REAL you.

Cuddling...I love to cuddle! I love talking into the night...unearthing the places hidden.

Kisses...I am publicly proclaiming my love for kisses on my forehead and the top of my head.

I enjoy dancing....I love to travel....I love people!

I'd like to meet:

anyone with a hunger for depth, an appetite for Love, a reverence for the Holy... anyone who loves and lives for Jesus. Friends who are consistent in love...that would be beautiful.

Old Friends, New Friends, but most of all YOU!

Why why love?

I want to lash out, speak my mind& and there have been times when I have, but that's not love. Love doesn't force its beloved's hand. Love is such a painful lesson. Y...

Back and forth

I am much like a kite wanting freedom in the heights. There is something about allowing the Wind to lift me towards the Sky. And on days, it looks like I'm mostly flighty without directi...

I should tell you I love you today

I feel pretty shielded from the emotions of it all& tears come but I am not feeling their impact. I can sense the stress, the fear, the loss, the guilt even but they are not mine. Mournin...
