I am superbly intricate with the smallest of details –> This makes me want to write a 5 thousand word essay on my testimony because God has been in every detail of my roller coaster of a life.
BUTTTTTTTTTTT, that would be giving away all the goods, so youll just have to “get what you get and don’t get upset”. Just joking.
I LOVE TALKING.
So ask me about my story, my struggles, the dark places, my sin, my faith, my horrible attempt at being good enough and I get to tell you of how f a r a distance God covered when He redeemed me.
I love to encourage
I don’t follow the crowd
Learn everything the hard way
Passionate about way too many things: God, self improvement, THE WORLD RACE, hard-core crafting, making kids laugh till they step on a duck, sleeeeeeep, sunshine! music music MUSIC, singing 🙂 RAIN!!!! extreme and quite dangerous sports that I tend to be careless when doing AKA motocross, snowboarding, horseback riding, wakeboarding… well honestly. with me. every event turns into a dangerous sport that ends with me learning humility for the umpteenth time :p
I am extremely empathetic, which is a gift from God. I feel everyones emotions.
Im kindof a perfectionist
Noone can shake my faith, because the trials I have been through are too impossible for any person to go through without a God to pull them out of.
Exodus 14:14 MY VERSE, yes im leaving you hanging because I really want YOU to look it up 😉
Im super stubborn
Ive moved a bagillion times
I have an incredibly resilient and faithful family
I like colors
I hate shoes and want to live barefoot. which might be handy in a third world country
I currently live in North Carolina, but if you ask me where im from, ill tell you Im not from anywhere because literally Ive moved so many times that Ive actually come to understand my true home is in heaven with Jesus.
hard headed
independant

I know that God has enormous plans for my life, so I have quit planning and following the laws of society…
Go to highschool, get straight A’s, Get accepted to a big name college and get a bachelors with honors or why not go for a masters degree, maybe Ill get a double major?? Pay for my own car and apartment that has stainless steel appliances and some trendy couch in the corner, make enough money to go out and enjoy some time with friends, Get a full time permanent job and settle down, find a man, grow some watermelons and watch the seed grow into two little crazy rambunctious spitting images of me – I let it go and ran to My God. He has only begun to show me what His PERFECT plans are for my life. I quit college, worked dead end jobs all to bring me to a place where God threw the most amazing opportunity at me. He flung the door WIDE open and that door happen to lead to my life long dream of: loving kids, traveling the world, missions, culture, and NO COLLEGE … I mean just kidding. Eventually Ill graduate the College of Refining with a triple major in surrender, humility, and abundant love with the best relationship with the coolest college professor EVER! God, duh.
Oh, forgot to mention.

I love each and every person that walks past me. I love each person I spot mowing the lawn as I drive to the grocery store. I love the old man sitting alone at chic fil a. I love the prettiest girl in line as forever 21. I love people and I love you. Im not just another sweet talker saying these things to get you to like me. I love people. I want to know you, I want to help you, to listen to you, to encourage you, to be a part of you and your story. So, yes. I have been called to go onto the mission field. And im supposed to tell all of you, my supports, to ask me about my story and my journey, but the more exciting part and more uncommon desire I have is to actually hear about you.Whoever you are, you are superbly and intricately designed with quirks and cool traits and I want to know about you.
