Courage is not the absence of fear, but moving forward in the midst of fear.

About Me

Hey! My name is Kari. I am first and foremost a Christian. I know who I am in the Lord and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that He loves me more then I could imagine. I am currently living in Romania working with abandoned children at a hospital and also at an orphanage with some kids that have cerebral palsy. I love being here and it is awesome seeing the Lord work in the lives of these kids. I have some of the best friends in the world. We have the most awesome times together. I am a good listener and a loyal friend. I like having fewer close friends that I can share anything with, then lots of casual acquaintances. Some of my best friends are guys and I totally love that, but they can never completely replace my best girlfriends. =) I love trying new things and am usually up for a good adventure. I love the thrill of roller coasters and the anxious anticipation of waiting in line. =) Laser tag and air hockey are two of the funnest things ever invented. I love to talk online, SO if you ever want to chat you can reach me on Yahoo @ Heart4Romania or on AIM @ Romaniagirl2004.

My Interests

Romania, kids, laser tag, air hockey, soccer, friends, butterflies, flowers, smiles, laughter, church, scrapbooking, history, and so many other things that I don't have time to list... =)

I'd like to meet:



Music:

Anything that I can understand the words to with the exception of country. Typically though I like to listen to Jars of Clay, Nicole Nordeman, Casting Crowns, Third Day, Jeremy Camp, Rebecca St. James, Lifehouse, Coldplay, Maroon 5, Bryan McKnight, Kutless, Evenesence, Jason Mraz, Kelly Clarkson, Santana, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder and so many more.

Television:

Well, I really don't watch that much tv since there is nothing really worth watching. Right now since I'm in Romania I don't have time to watch tv and when I do have time, there is nothing good on.

Books:

The greatest book ever written- The Bible. Always relavent for a life that is always changing. All the Left Behind Books. The Screwtape Letters. Great book! Through the Gates of Splendor.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ- the one who died and rose again for my sins and the sins of the rest of humanity so that we could have eternal life with HIM, if we choose to accept him and his UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

My Blog

I have decided.....

that the airport in Paris is officially the WORST airport in the world.  It is incredibly huge, and nothing is layed out in any logical order.  The gates are horribly far apart, and the peop...

For all the girls out there.

I recently went to a women's conference with my church and the topic was on how we are Christs' beloved.  The whole message was on Psalms 119 and how much Jesus loves us and seeks us passionately...
