Who Am I?

I am a 21 year crazy female that wants to serve others full time.

(Oh and my picture? My hair never looks that controlled. EVER. Just warning you.)

 

I am originally from Seattle, Washington, and lived in the same house for 19 years. 

 

I have traveled to Mexico and Canada, and most of the US, but have no experience off of the continent of North America. I am stoked to know that will no longer be the case in a couple months. Not to mention the fact that I will be traveling for the glory of the Lord. Awesomeness!

 

I am currently residing in Waukesha, Wisconsin, soon to be Sussex, Wisconsin. And yes, there is TONS of snow here in winter. I am also stoked to be missing the winter months thanks to this trip!

 

I recently graduated from New Tribes Bible Institute with an AA in Biblical Studies. I was planning on spending a year working and saving up money before Nursing school, but God had other plans.

 

Up until a month or so ago, I was actively ignoring God and anything to do with Him. I was walking down my own path, firmly stuck in my sin patterns and my lust for this world…And then one night I found freedom. Of course there is more to this story, but if you are curious you can always ask me! 

 

I guess I will throw in some ‘fun’ facts about me…

-I LOVE physical labor. Whether it is gardening, intense lifting or just violent sports, getting my heart rate up makes me happy.

-I greatly enjoy photography. Especially nature photography.

-I enjoy giving people massages. I grew up with a mother who has a very, very bad back and because of that I got quite good at giving massages.
-The only movie that can make me cry like a baby is The Pursuit of Happyness.

-Bodily fluids do not bother me (EXCEPT vomit). I enjoy studying medical everything, so I hope that will come in handy on this trip.

-Spiders, however, FREAK ME OUT. I can hold a cockroach and any kind of bug for the most part, but show me a spider and I will probably run the other way (unless someone else is even more scared…then I will kill it for them)

-I have a strange love for fruits and veggies. Even so, I am most assuredly a carnivore.

-I call carbonated beverages POP. It is not SODA. EVER. I also do not drink them…cause they make me sick.

-I have no idea what I am going to do when I am in the countries where all the food is SPICY. I cannot handle spicy food. 

-Holding cute animals? Anytime, anywhere. (That goes for human children too)

-I am intensely protective of the people I care about. My first reaction to them being threatened is for me to become rather violent. (I am working on my self control)

 

I have no idea if anyone is going to read this through, but that is a short look at who I am right now. I have NO doubt that will change over the course of this trip. So keep checking my blog, cause it is about to get crazy up in here!
