I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a random person - sometimes a little crazy to some and often unaware (which causes clumsiness. I am deep and passionate. I am madly in love with Jesus. He is really the only thing in my life that makes sense and that brings me joy. I want to do anything and everything he tells me to do and I want to be real. I am currently living near Taipei, Taiwan studying the Bible. Everyday I feel like God unlocks a new mystery to show me and it's always beautiful. I don't understand why God chose me and I don't know why he has let me live a life I never dreamed of and I've realized I never will understand completely. But the fact that he has chosen me makes me want to tell others. I am passionate about showing people that God is still alive and that he has given each person things that could radically change this world. We are all making history - just what kind depends on you. I don't deserve anything he has given me so I want to use all I have to glorify him. I hate the fact that human trafikking, prostitution, and poverty are a part of this world and I want to do whatever I can to be a part of stopping it.

My Interests

reading, base jumping, hiking, biking, bullriding, just hanging out with friends, learning about people, guitar, snorkeling, coffee, I want to learn to surf (base jumping is easier), birdwatching, making animal sounds - especially at the zoo, singing, anything random that is totally unexpected, talking to people that have nothing, smiling, doing anything that God calls me too even if it freaks me out a bit...

I'd like to meet:

Everyone that thinks no one cares, the broken, the President, children anywhere in the world, anyone that is radically living for Christ and everyone that's not.

A little of what I've learned in India...

So coming to India I knew God was telling me that it would be a time of complete intimacy with Him. So in my mind I had this idea that it meant everything would be beautiful, I'd love every moment, my...

Ok so I've had this really random urge lately (for those that know me I guess random is normal) to climb a tree! I've just wanted to sit and think and pray for a while but all involving sitting in a t...
