I am here for Friends

About Me

Above all else, I love to enjoy life. The simple beauty that God places in the world around us is too precious to pass by quickly. My wish is that everyone could see this.I absolutely love to laugh. I tend to get real serious at times, so if i can find something to laugh at (usually myself) I do.Poetry is my journal. This is where my thoughts become real, and I can decipher all the mess that fills my brain at times. One day I'll get around to actually publishing.....one day.

My Interests

People. That simple, I am interested in people. What makes them do the things they do? What makes them make the decisions they make? My goal is to meet people of many different backgrounds and find the common thread that runs through us. I know there is one...at least one.

Music:

Music has the ability to move deep within me and take me to a totally different plane. I don't mean in some transcendental way. Mostly through Praise and Worship music I experience this. I think I truly connect with God through music. I listen to many genres, but when I need some "me" time, I grab my guitar and start singing praise.

Television:

I'll admit it, I'm a Survivor junkie. I've never missed an episode the last four seasons. Wednesday and Thursday night are the best TV nights of the week.

Books:

Just about any book interests me, except for trashy novels and maybe books about law. When I'm not in school, I'm an avid reader.

Heroes:

Okay, it may sound cliche and cute, but my mother is truly one of my heroes. She moved halfway across the world, by herself, middle-aged, just to help people she doesn't know, in a country she was unfamiliar with. She is a missionary in Africa, helping one of the tribes with simple life tasks we take for granted, such as get clean water to drink instead of muddy water from a hole in the ground. She exhibits strength of character, godliness, gentleness, and kindness. If I become half the woman she is now, I will consider myself successful.

Life

You know....life is just too damn confusing sometimes. One minute it's clipping along, everything's wonderful, and BAM! life throws a curve ball. Mostly, I strike out...or so it seems. I can never hit...
