LEAVE ME A MESSAGE BEFORE ADDING ME AS A FRIEND

Currently my ambition in life is to delight in God. I choose to submit myself to His authority because I've come to realize that He isn't an uncaring judge sitting on a throne judging people without any concern; on the contrary, He is the lover of my soul who yearns to spend time with me like a faithful spouse.

- I am a linguist by gift, not by diploma
- I'm a closet English major
- I am much more of a listener than I am a talker
- Compassion is not a natural gift of mine
- I prefer to tell things like they are without candy coating anything
- I love hanging out with my nephews and nieces (their innocence is refreshing)
- I'm calm
- Perhaps a bit cautious
- Amused quite easily (but it may not appear so)
- I'm confused about a few things, but I know who I am
- A huge part of my heart belongs to the people of Israel, as they are the people our Creator chose to send his son through.


I am an imperfect person living in an imperfect world trying to live a perfect life. However, I've come to realize that I can never be perfect in this life, and so I daily remind myself to keep my eyes focused on the One who is perfect: the Creator. There are times when my eyes stray from said One and I end up doing something foolish. This causes me to feel pain and sadness for having grieved the Creator. I am speechless by the overwhelming evidence of folly in my life. I'm guilty of straying away from the path my Creator paved for me.
Yet I wake up each day full of thanksgiving for my eyesight, hearing, and all the other senses I still have intact. I also thank my Creator for allowing breath to flow through my lungs another day, and for feet to walk on and hands to work with. The fact that I still have clothes to cover my nakedness, shelter to protect me, and food to nourish me proves that I am blessed by my Creator. It's humbling that it doesn't matter how much of a fool I can be, my Creator still loves me and chooses to bless me with things I do not deserve.
I cannot say that there are days when I don't mess up in some way. But I can say that not a day goes by that I am lacking in joy. My Creator loves me in spite of my wickedness. He is the source of life, and I desire intimacy with him. Above everything else, I thank Him for coming to earth in the form of a human to pay the penalty that I deserved: death. He left paradise for fools whose hearts are ever turned against him. He did it because of love.
