Well, lets see ... first things first. I'm on the way to loving Jesus with all my heart. It's most definitely a process ... I fail Him all the time, but He's never once failed me. And despite all my failures He continues to be faithful and loving. His grace and mercy never cease to amaze me. One clear indicator of His love for me is my amazing family: I have four siblings; only the oldest is married. My family is the most important thing in my life (besides Jesus). We're all pretty insane; crazy really. Each one in our own unique, individual ways. But that's what makes life so much fun! =) My parents are incredible, wonderful people that love the Lord with all of their hearts. I don't date, and don't plan on dating. No, I'm not scared of guys, and yes, I have guy friends. =) I do believe I'm going to get married; I just don't think dating's the way to do it. I love to be in groups, talking and having fun, but I also love to be by myself. There's nothing better than a walk along a beach at midnight with just you and God. It seems like I'm always thinking or musing about something or other. More often than not, I'm trying to figure out why I act a certain way (selfishly or pridefully, for example) and what I can do to fix that. I suppose I tend to run along the lines of a 'truth' person, as opposed to a 'mercy' person. I think it's kind of sad that there's even a differentiation, but, hey! The Lord did make us all different! I am learning all the time from Him; the lessons never end! Just when I think I've finally got Him figured out, or I've finally got -me- figured out, that's when He reveals something totally different, something totally new. I'm in love with Him, actually. I'm in love with Someone I don't fully understand, how odd is that? It's okay, though. I'm content with my not understanding. Well, most of the time anyway. He truly is amazing, and He truly is my Hero.
