I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future!

About Me

Create or get your
very own MySpace Layouts Of course I must start off with my testimony...giving honor to God and all whom honor is due. I thank God for my life health and strength and for another day he's allowed me to see...come on church folks, recite it with me...lol! But seriously, I couldn't tell you about myself without mentioning that I am saved and love God with my whole heart! I attend Macedonia Church of God in Christ where my pastor is Bishop Bryant Robinson Jr. If you're ever in the Springfield area you should drop by the church (201 King St.) for a good time in the Lord!
What else can I say about myself? Well, something people probably don't know about me is that I love crocheting. I got a book on crocheting and taught myself. Recently I've started to learn how to knit, but I'm FAR from being good at that. I don't get to do either of those things as much as I would like to because I don't have a lot of spare time. I am in graduate school studying Neuroscience and Behavior which takes up most of my time and I'm also very active in my church which takes up the rest. lol!
I'm a very friendly person, but I wouldn't consider myself to be extremely outgoing. I used to be extremely shy but God has delivered me from that affliction (PRAISE HIM!) lol! Although I'm not as shy as I used to be I still find it hard to get very close to people. Nevertheless I've managed to make a few very close friends and of course I always have my family. I also have my Robert(luv ya sweetie!) He's the bestest!
I think that's about it. Feel free to drop me a line if you'd like to know more. God bless!
Another quiz from eSPIN-the-Bottle...

What's Your Sense of Humor?

MY RESULT: Witty


..The Cadillac of senses of humor. Smart, sophisticated, and people either love you or just roll their eyes at you.
If you’ve never watched any of those “Brit-Coms,� go out and rent them – you’ll love them. If you’ve already seen them, well, it shows. You’ve got a great mind and a great sense of humor. Now if only we could do something about your sense of style. (Just kidding. You look hot. Really.)

My Interests

I absolutely LOVE to read! I love reading almost any type of book. I also write poetry and short stories. In addition to reading and writing I also love doing puzzles. I am constantly buying puzzle books or games. I like crosswords, fill-ins, word searches, cryptograms, and sudoku to name a few written puzzles.

I also love jigsaw puzzles and brain-bending puzzles/games like Rush Hour and Brick-by-Brick. Check out the game below. It's just like Rush Hour!

I'd like to meet:

People looking for good, clean conversation, positive people who stay away from drama, and more of my COGIC brothers and sisters!

As I mentioned before I am in school studying Neuroscience and Behavior so I had to include something about the brain. Check out the quiz below!
