Fun Fact. I don’t like the idea of telling you all about me from the inside of a computer screen. I’m an ENFP personality if that means anything to you. So basically- I often feel torn between my intense love for people and my craving for alone time. But at the end of the day, I’ll take a face to face, heart to heart connection over sharing my soul with you for the first, tenth or hundredth time through this blog.
Fun Fact number two. I love coffee and tea and the shops they are sold in, and I’m currently accepting invitations to above mentioned shops of your choosing.
That being said- At some point in the next few months I’m probably going to have to come to terms with the fact that I won’t be able to fly across the world for a warm beverage every time I want to share my heart with someone.
I also, however, sometimes struggle making lists, because: squirrel.
So, here it goes. A little about me:
-I am A lover of hot drinks that burn my tongue, or cold drinks that makes me need a blanket, but not much in between. (Just thought you should know right off the bat in case you wanted to invite me out ??.)
-I think the sunrise is beautiful, but I would SO much rather enjoy its setting, because sleeping in is one of my most favorite of all the activities.
-I think it’s not only my duty but my privilege to pray for my husband on the daily. I’ll let you know when I meet him someday.
-I am a watercolor enthusiast, because there’s something about the flow of a brush stroke that makes me feel so incredibly small in light of how immense my God is.
-I dream of someday being a home birth midwife and painting all the mama’s bellies with all the beautiful colors ??
-I dislike cats. Entirely.
Okay, not entirely– I like cats that act like dogs, but otherwise? They’re not my favorite.
-I think Lima beans are great, and A Bad Case of Stripes is one of my top ten favorite children’s books.
-Swimming is another of of my favorite of all the activities, and whenever I see a body of water (including but not limited to oceans, lakes, ponds and puddles) I’m probably thinking about jumping in it.
-I LOVE warm hugs. I love snuggles. I love kisses right on my chubby cheeks from good friends.
***Disclaimer: if we become good friends in this lifetime or the next- you should start to anticipate hugs and kisses being a part of your life from me. And if for some reason you aren’t a fan of either of those things? I’ll pray with you about that. 😉
-I am a daughter to, who I perceive are, the single most loving, humble, full of grace and life parents you will ever meet in your lifetime.
-I am a sister to one older brother, four younger brothers, and six younger sisters. (That’s 12 little souls that my parents have love and grace for in case you doubted my previous statement)
-I’m am an adorer of my lovers presence.
-I will always prefer to be barefoot when I lead worship.
-Actually, i would mostly prefer to be barefoot in all of life.
-I’d like to think I’m a dreamer…
When I have coffee and conversations with God I’m probably somewhere in my mind in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
Sand in between each one of my toes and the ocean roaring with the dancing of the tide.
And as I Lay on my blue jean blanket on the beach, under the darkest of possible nights, a canopy of stars is covering us so full and vibrant that I know I’m not possibly doing it justice inside of my bleak imagination.
Or maybe I’m in in Coldfoot, Alaska in the Brooks mountain range.
Caribou bellowing outside around me.
Gazing up at a night sky so clear and still that I can feel the tangible weight of the atmosphere giving me a hug as the auroras float through the air above me.
And if You ever wanted to join me in one of those places- for coffee, or for tea, or just to do life– I wouldn’t be interested in what you do for a living. I would want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
Im not intrigued by how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool.
For love, for your dreams, for God.
For the adventure of being alive.
Because in this life if there’s one thing I want to be- its barefooted, and bare hearted, and baring everything for the sake of love, and possibility, and relationship with you and with my King.
