About Me

i'm a really uptight/easy going person who absolutely loves to laugh. i can always find something to laugh about and at times that gets me in trouble. i'm a dreamer! and i whole-heartedly believe that i can do anything i set my mind to. i love to drive with the sunroof open--sometimes even when it's freezing. i love hangin' w/ my friends and family, but i also love meeting new people. i love inspiring and thought provoking conversation. i LOOVE waking up early in the morning! Yeah, it's the greatest ever...NO! sleeping in is the best! i love music and singing...music is my passion, and i'd love to learn to play the piano or guitar...one day i will! i absolutely love worship...it's the most fulfilling experience ever! i love poetry and song writing. i love life and the rest of God's creation. i'm a big fan of star gazing...and the ocean is pretty sweet! i'm totally amazed by God's love and the more i revel in it, the more i find myself becoming like Him...my fav scrip is... **That's how much you mean to me! That's how much I love you! I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.** ~ Isaiah 43:4 (The Message)... let's see what else? oh, this is random, but, it so cracks me up when i randomly laugh out loud b/c i remember something hilarious...it's usually pretty funny b/c i'll do it at the most inopportune times...it's great! yes, indeed! oh, i can be easily distracted...i think i may have ADD or ADHD, either way, the point is that i tend to be random and once again, easily distracted...a brief history, i used to party my life away, but one night i experienced an epiphany as to why i was created and i haven't been the same since! i have much "higher" asperations as of today...i now work for SC Master's Commission and am lovin' it! before SC-MC, i was a youth leader and i absolutely love my BrOkEn ChAiNs kids...they're supa dupa awesome and changed my life forever!! Love to travel, wish i had more time to do it (actually, i could make time if i had the money!). i can be random as "what the led?" when i get to talking or thinking too much, or maybe it's the ADD/ADHD, yeah, it's fun...and, i could go on and on, however, to cut this shorter than short...I'm outtie! make it a great day! ps - if u know me then u know i love ya tons! peace. smiles ~ rain
