Hi!  I’m Madeline.  Here’s a lil bit about me!

The BIG things:
  • My parents (Jim+Becky) are awesome.  They taught all of us kids what love really means- it’s not some romantic feeling or ooey gooey movie moment, but the choice to put yourself aside for those you love.
  • My bros (Seth+Abel+Jarred) & sistas (Hannah+Eden+Ryann) are uh-mazing!  I’m the oldest of five & 2 of us are married so that explains the extra names above. 
  • My niece (Elliott) & nephews (Brandon+Blake).  I LOVE playing with them!!
  • My friends, my friends, my friends.  I cannot begin to tell you how fabulous they are!  I am super-duper blessed to be completely surrounded with such amazing men & women.
  • My church (Fellowship Church)- it’s off the chain and on a HNL (whole ‘notha level) as my pastor would say.
  • My God.  I heart Jesus and am so glad that He loved me first.

Things I love:

  • My dogs: Tulula & Ursula.  I’m gonna miss these girls!  Still looking for a good home for them for the year, if you’re interested.  They’re cute!
  • Being a Trainer at Surge & The Mix Downtown!  There’s a new generation coming & they’re going storm this world with hope, love, and faith.
  • I Heart Sheldon!  If you haven’t laughed your socks off to the TV show, The Big Bang Theory, you are missing out!
  • Texas: Born here, raised here, love it here.
  • The book of Phillipians. 
  • Reading- I love great books!  Who am I kidding?  I love books.
  • The word HOPE. 
  • Roller coasters!
  • Big shout-out to TRAC!  Young adults building their life after foster care are some of the most amazing people I have ever met.
  • Professional basketball games- gotta love the Mavs!  Whether they’re up or down, they’re my team.
  • Horned frogs- go TCU!!!
  • Eating out.  Man, I love good food, especially pizza.
  • Grocery shopping- I could spend hours in a grocery store, especially someplace like Whole Foods.
  • Being amazed by the acts of God!  Sometimes I just think too small.
Consider that a sneak preview!  Much much more to come in the next year!
