I am here for Friends

About Me

I am in school full time and work at my church(which is THE best church around!). I am involved in children's ministry and adore the kids at my church. I feel God pulling at me to invest the rest of my life in children. I can't imagine a better way to spend my life than pouring my love and efforts into children. It's amazing to see the difference that can be made in the life of a child when they are loved and shown the goodness of Christ.
Some random and totally useless things: When I was between the ages of 2 and 4, I was kicked out of and banned from the nursery at church because I had a problem with pinching the other kids until they screamed and cried (yes, I left bruises); I compulsively worry that I have something in my teeth or that I smell like a boy; I still like to play in the rain; every now and then I secretly watch a cartoon about a yellow sponge (not much of a secret now); I often eat bowls of salsa (no chips, no nothing...just me and the salsa); I go all stupid when a guy smells really good; ever since I was little I have laughed in my sleep, sometimes to the point of waking others up; I want to parasail really bad; I love flowers more than chocolate; I once accidentally squeezed a pet bird to death; I beat the same boy up twice for trying to kiss me when I was 9; I had a hamster named Party Animal that I dressed in Barbie clothes and drove around in a Barbie car. FIN.

My Interests

Jesus, children's ministry, missions, ministry involvement, bowling, camping, fishing, carmel frapp's, kids, reading, shoes, running around in the woods at night, baking,learning about other cultures and why they do what they do (I admit to loving anthropology and archeology though it makes me a dork)and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't even matter. I also really enjoy hanging out with friend and talking about God - simple, but so awesome!

I'd like to meet:

A little boy living in a remote jungle in South America, a little girl that belongs to an Arfrican tribe...and everyone else in between. Oh, and Sponge Bob and any local Ice Cream Man.

Music:

As long as it's not dirty, I'll listen to it. I must admit though, country music tends to envoke the wrath of my gag reflex. I really do love all music...no, really. ~Relient K, Passion Worship, Hillsong Next generation worship, Shane and Shane, Chris Tomlin, DC Talk, The Rocket Summer, Leeland,Family Force 5, No Doubt(the older stuff).

Movies:

Movies?! What are movies?? Movies are ok - I just can't sit still that long - it just makes me feel so unproductive.

Television:

I don't really watch TV much, but when I do...LAW & ORDER:SVU!!! Ok, yeah, that's about all.

Books:

BOOKS ARE FOR BURNING! Just kidding. I love books...I would much rather read a book than watch TV. The Bible, J. Austen, Velvet Elvis, God's Blogs, and Passion and Purity are some of my favorites. I even enjoy some of my text book from school. :-) I love reading and learning about other people and their cultures.

Heroes:

Jesus, Esther, Yo Mama, P. Rod, P. Randy, Bill McDonald, anyone who has ever left behind the comforts of home risked their lives to spread the Gospel of Christ. (Also, anyone who has invested their lives in children)

My Blog

Prodigals

  I've been thinking about prodigals a lot lately - but then who at 1st hasn't? The daily emails from P. Rod have been a big help in keeping prodigals fresh on my mind and heart. I've realized t...

Alvin

  I met Alvin a week or two ago downtown. He seemed to be homeless. All he had with him was a sketch pad and pencils... During an hour visit there was much talk of drawing/dating/boys/church/Go...

Yeah, so I'm going to be out of town this weekend and my phone doesn't get reception past the corner light post on my street - so don't even bother to get me after tomorrow morning. (When I get back I...

1, 2, 3, ...No wait, am I on 3 or 4?

Hmmm. Things have been going really good this week. You know, the kind of 'good' that makes you wonder what great things will happen next week.   Things have been changing like crazy in the past ...

Stupid Boys and Silly Girls

Ok, so I REALLY don't "get" why guys and girls act so very different and so very stupid when they like each other. It drives me nuts. I don't understand all the games...they are insane... So, there is...

Observations

One should always own at least one pair of gloves/mittens. Although, I'm not sure how I feel about men wearing mittens. Always try to make sure your in the right class at school. It really helps a lot...

Bizzare

Ok, so this has nothing to do with Pets and Animals at all. So, it's 1 am and I am eating corn on the cob and playing on Myspace. I don't really even care that I have to be up in a few short hours. E...
