About Me

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:12-14

My Interests

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33)

This might not make sense, but sometimes I feel that a girl with an acoustic guitar can actually sound heavier than a band with five or six guys.

I have big hair that's uncontrollable.

My friends mean the world to me.

I'm usually shy, but don't let that make you think that I'm unfriendly.

I still have no idea what I'm doing with my life.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone, really. I have my profile set to accept friend requests from people who know my last name because I got sick of getting added by spam bots, so if you want to add me and don't know my last name here's a hint: its in my url. So, I suppose that means I'd like to meet people who read.

Music:

I enjoy almost all styles of music, it doesn't matter if its heavy or soft or anywhere in between, just as long as it stimulates me in some way.

Television:

I've been watching a lot of PBS lately.

Books:

I'm glad my parents are who they are. They always read, and they encouraged me to read at a very young age, and so I've always loved to read.

The Bible. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17

I feel like I've been wandering the desert for forty years. When is the payoff coming? Lord, open my eyes, I've been blind far too long.
