About Me

Hey there! A little about me...I have just moved to Nashville, TN and LOVE it! Somehow the way has been paved for me to head back to school to get my graduate degree and that's exactly why I'm here. Oh, and also to meet new people :) Thank you, Lord!
I am a Christian and that defines my life and who I am and how I live my life. I'd love to talk to you about it anytime! Please feel free to open that door... as my good buddy, Hannah has put it: 'there's Someone in pursuit of my heart and I can't resist Him.'
I can be laid back, humorous, serious, task-oriented, reserved...all a little dependent on my environment. I'm especially grumpy and to myself in the mornings :-) and am a bit of a night owl. Generally, once my mind is made up, there's no going back. Puppies make me feel all warm inside. People who try too hard make me annoyed. I like when things are spelled correctly, but am no Akeelah myself. My mom, dad and stepparents are four of my favorite people on this earth. I love to read, but have several books waiting for my attention. I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them!

Salvation

Sometimes Scripture just describes it best (imagine that?!?).  This seems to not only describe how God initially takes hold of His children, but also how He continually hears us, responds to us, ...
