I love meeting new people. I am attracted to people who are real and transparent and full of flaws, but know there is something that exist greater than themselves. People who don't try to hide their flaws, but wear them openly, hoping that maybe they will help another human being feel like there is hope for them. Someone who is not afraid to take a drink, get a tattoo (hence my profile pic...), go to a rock concert or say a few choice words and still be able to turn around and talk about God all in the same 24 hours. Not because that way of living is flawed, but because they are not afraid to stand up to what religion has told them the truth is. Truth that I can not find in my Bible. I don't know about you. I am into what brings freedom. Jesus is all about freedom, not bondage. He wants us to have fun, not dumb in life or irresponisble, but nor does he want us to be stifled.
I can't stand people who try to act perfect and act as if they have it all together, or try to make others feel unworthy if they fall short of that mark. I think this kind of thinking is a killer to our society and hurts the human soul. We should all be less judgmental to one another, but instead, just be in the moment with one another. Who are we to pass judgment? I don't know about you, but I sure as hell can't cast the first stone.
I am not saying that wrong and right do not exist, they do, but there is a balance. Religion has thrown the baby out with the bath water. God trusts us to be stewards over that balance and we should trust each other to be stewards over that balance, not try to tell each other how we should or should not live. There is room for only one boss in this universe and it is neither you or I.
I can't stand religion, but love the freeing power of God. Can't get enough of it. I love walking out my journey with Him and finding out what is really true. I love being a Christian who is true to herself and true to her God. Someone who is relateable, approachable and uncompromising, but who can relate with people from all sorts of paths in this life. I love to encourage and inspire. And I am a much happier person accepting those around me as they are, flaws and all, and looking at our relationships as an opportunity to sharpen each other.
I am not afraid to get dirty. I am not afraid of differences. I don't run when life gets a little sticky. That's usually just when it is starting to get fun. My biggest hope and dream is to know I've made a mark in this world before my time is up. I am very aware of the time passing us by so quickly and feel an urgency to accomplish this. I don't feel there is anything else important on this earth than people. What else are we here for? There is nothing worth more than a human being. I believe we need to get back to this basic fundamental belief. The world would be a much better place.
I have a desire to give hope to the hopeless and help to the helpless. I hate seeing or hearing people who feel there is no hope. There is always hope! There is always a way out! Nothing is ever final. And it's amazing what God can do in 24 hours.
Well, that is a little about me :-), now it's your turn...
