“When it’s your time to die, make sure the only thing you have left to do is die.” -Jim Elliot
I heard this quote yesterday in church, and realized that’s exactly how I want to feel when I kick the bucket. I never want to look back and wonder what would have happened if I had done things differently.
My name is Loriahn Harden. My first name is pronounced Lori-on. I am 21 and a half years old. I have lived in Alabama my whole life, and I love it. I got married last September to the love of my life, Brent. He really is the best husband ever, and he makes me a better person. And sometimes, he is the slowest person I’ve ever met, which annoys me, but I still love him.
I have an amazing family. My mom, dad, and brother are the coolest. And my family-in-law is just as cool. Brent and I were both extremely blessed with families that love Jesus and challenge us and encourage us.
One if the most amazing things I ever got to experience was spending 3 months in Swaziland, Africa a little over a year ago. I miss it everyday, and cannot wait to go back. My heart is for missions, but especially Africa. I am really excited and nervous about the World Race. I’m excited about change and being sharpened and molded into more of the person God wants me to become. And I’m nervous about change and being sharpened and molded into more of the person God wants me to become.
Things I love:
my church, my friends, playing cards, eating delicious food, photography, original Nintendo, Jon and Kate plus 8, Africa, orphans, Khulekani, my great hubby, my big dog Scout, violins and pianos, traveling, The Rick and Bubba Show, Christmastime, talking about deep subjects, painting, stars, hanging out, cheese, warm towels, The Office, good dreams, decorating things
Things I don’t love so much:
popcorn, watermelon…or any type of melon, people that are late, losing at anything, math, people that drive under the speed limit, cheaters, the feeling when you eat too much, the History Channel, coffee, the fact that I’m very impatient, being scared, not knowing what things mean, when things get broken
