About Me

i was made for a greater purpose than myself. i'm passionate without apology. love is my agenda. i've stopped settling for things. i'm so weak, but find my stength in the Truth. i never want to become complacent. when we meet, i will probably forget your name. i'll eventually remember it, though. i enjoy questioning people's motives. abandonment has paralyzed me, yet my courage is prevalent. i'm a bit clumbsy. i could die tomorrow knowing that i've truly lived. i find joy in the simple things. i want a heart with no compromise. i desire radical change. i'm writing a book. i am slowly traveling the world. i love autumn. i crave conversations that provoke thought and leave you feeling more alive. i'm such a dork. laughter is medicine. and my heart is ugly, but He is working on it in this very moment.
