About Me

I'm a girl who wears lots of different hats & loves every minute of it. I'm a daughter of God most importantly, I'm a wife of almost 2 years to my amazing husband Chris, I'm an older sister to my 2 brothers and a youth leader to my Generation Next kids who I love dearly. All of my days are spent with Jesus as my center. He saved my life and I have made the life changing promise to live every day to build his kingdom and help save our fallen generation. I spent most of my time at church and I love every minute of it. My life is dedicated to bringing love and hope to the world around me...everything else is secondary.Besides God and my family, I love my friends, music, photography, graphic design, dancing, writing, coffeehouses and the adventures that life always brings me. A real girl isn't perfect and a perfect girl isn't real

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity" - 1 Timothy 4:12
"Life is what you make it. Love is what you let it be"

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people. Christians. Artists. Dancers. Musicians. Writers. Designers.

Music:

..I absolutely love music. All kinds. Usually you'll find me listening to something of the acoustic/indie rock style. But I listen to everything from EDM to screamo to worship music. You won't often find me listening to rap but I can't resist a little Braille once and a while :)
**A few faves: deeflash, Family Force 5, Shawn McDonald, Addison Road, Mark Webb, Braille, David Crowder Band, Flyleaf, Spoken, House of Heroes, Stellar Kart etc etc

Movies:

..I love movies but don't watch anything above a PG-13 rating with a few exceptions. I love animated movies, romantic comedies, "dumb" comedies, dramas etc. I'm pretty young at heart - I have no interest in being scared or seeing blood.

Television:

..Currently I only watch Malcom in the Middle reruns. Chris and I do this often - we pick a show and watch it from start to finish. It's fun.

Books:

..I love reading. I have a hard time reading just one book at a time. Right now I'm reading the bible and "The Silver Chair" - C.S. Lewis

Heroes:

..Jesus Christ, Joyce Meyer, Lisa Bevere and Brother Yun. I also really admire Sean Dunn.

Just thought I'd put a challenge out there for people since I seem to have a growing blog audience. My reasons for blogging should be the reason you start. You can express yourself exactly how you wan...

Beautifully Broken

I've heard the phrase "beautifully broken" many many times and always thought it meant "perfectly flawed." Ya know, finding the beauty in yourself and the fact that God made you the way that you are. ...
