Hello Friends.
If you have stumbled upon this portion of my blog you probably want to know a bit about me. Who am I? What are my likes…my dislikes? What are my little quirks? Well I’m kinda of a lot to unpack in just one blog but I’ll do my best.
First things first, a brief introduction, I am 23 years old and lived my whole life just outside of Atlanta in Norcross, Ga. I have five brothers; I’m the oldest and only girl…which has it pros and cons. I graduated from Georgia Southern in December 2012. Since then I have been a nanny for a local family.
Now for the fun stuff…
I love life and I try not to take myself too seriously. Coffee is very, very, VERY, important too me. I’m convinced that a good cup of coffee and some quality time with friends can fix just about any situation. The little things in life do it for me. That means things like coffee, a good books, book shops, coffee shops, froyo, running, movie nights, sunflowers, butterflies, getting mail/letters in the mail, writing letters, rain, trail mix, twix candy bars, pringles, soft pretzels, girls night, alone time, laughter, lots of laughter, and simply being with the ones I love.
I value honesty, trust, loyalty, love, and friendship. Sometimes I feel like an outsider. I’m introverted but I love people. I’m extremely guarded but open…or at least trying to be I have a tendency to be over sensitive, over think, and over analyze…just tell me to chill out and get out of my head…I will calm down I promise. I’m clumsy. I have no problem laughing at myself. I am a Jesus lover.
I’m a complicated not so complicated, oxymoron, hot mess, but a beautiful mess because Jesus has is hands all over my story.
Jesus saved me. End of Story (I’m sure a blog about this will come later)
Wanderlust…
Wanderlust is defined as a very strong and irresistible impulse or desire to travel the world. To say I have severe case of wanderlust might be the greatest understatement of the year…and then you allow Jesus to take that desire and use if his kingdom and a missionary with a gypsy soul is born. Don’t get me wrong, I love my city and my state. Jesus has grown my heart so much in the past year for the city of Atlanta is insane. But, my heart yearns for places it has never been and I miss people I have never met. Some days I am overwhelmed by my love for the places I have been and the people I have met that my heart literally aches, like here is a physical pain in my chest, with how much I miss them. One of the downsides to wanderlust I guess. I can’t tell you how much my soul rejoices knowing that in just 9 short months my heart will get to wander all over the world for 11 months and bringing Kingdom in each one of those countries (blog about the countries to come as well).
