Hey everyone!
My name is Abby O'Reilly
I am 22 years old
I was born and raised in Austin,Texas
A handful of you reading this have known me since the diaper days, while others I may never meet in person, and the vast majority fall somewhere in between. Despite how long our paths may have crossed, here are a few things about who I am and what defines me.
I lived the first 18 years of my life in Austin, my love for country music and the hillcountry is evidence of that.
I am the oldest of five kids and only girl in my family, shaping my very motherly yet tough personality.
I have a lack of fear when it comes to heights, strangers, and injuries
yet dancing , attention, and compliments still make me run.
I have played soccer since before I could tie my shoes, my love for the game has only grown over time.
I could lie under the sky all day, the clouds sunsets & stars are captivating and scream God's love to me.
I adore children, their smiles laughter and sweet innocence gives me a heartwarming joy.
I have found that encouraging words and notes can make all the difference in someone's day,
we just have to be daring enough to take the time.
I believe that music is best enjoyed windows down and volume up, and that you don't need a good voice to join in.
I am blessed with a handful of sisters who I have fought dragons with over the years,
and I can't wait to see what God has in store for all of you in this next year.
In March of 2011 I went to Haiti on a misson trip, thats when I fell in love with God's nations and was unable to shake the effects the trip had on me. My previous desire to go to Physical Therapy or Physicians Assistant school seemed like a lost dream and the World Race was constantly resurfacing in my thoughts.
In May of 2012 I will be graduating from Auburn University with a Biomedical Sciences degree. As of now I am not doing anything with my major, but im excited to see what God has in store, I don't believe my love for medicine or four years of undergrad is an accident.
In September of 2012 I WILL BE LEAVING FOR THE WORLD RACE. It still hasn't fully hit me yet. I am expecting God to ruin any expectation that I have for the race. That on the race I will be challenged in ways I never imagined, stretched beyond what I am capable of myself, and heartbroken for things I didn't even know existed. My prayer is that I will leave the girl that you have read about but return as His beloved daughter whom he has destined for me to be. My greatest desires are to fall more in love with Jesus and to be molded into Christ's ways and away from this world.
