I am here for Networking

About Me

I'm EXTREMELY family oriented and I'm what some would call a "Jesusfreak". I love the Lord and look forward to seeing myself more like Him daily. I look at where I came from in amazement. I'm a preacher's daughter but the more I see my relationship with God become more & more PERSONAL, the more excited I get about the plans He has for me (Jeremiah 29:11). YES, I AM C.O.G.I.C.! Hahaha! MUSIC is a HUGE part of who I am at the core. I've been musically inclined since age 7 when my mom put me in private piano lessons and purchased a flute and a piccolo and put me in elementary school band. I LOVE to SING and I also WRITE poetry. I admire people who swim upstream and don't allow others' expectations to define who they are. The more I study the WORD and what Jesus' ministry was REALLY all about, the less interested I am in "mainstream church" and the stereotypes and protocol that come along with it. At the end of the day, as MUCH as I'd love to run around "singing for Jesus", He's shown me that unless we SERVE, we've missed the ENTIRE point. I desire to open a battered women's shelter one day as well as an AIDS clinic. I also hope really soon to be doing some overseas missions work like praying with the women in Darfur who will NEVER see me on the Grammys or purchase a CD I put out "in the name of ministry". I'm a middle child of three girls and have ALWAYS thought outside of the box. My prayer is that everyone caught up in the hype of what we've twisted & defined as "church" will come to the TRUE knowledge of what it means to be the Body of Christ and to DO ministry the way He did......... I'd choose to sing an underweight Ethiopian child to sleep Anyday
