I figure if I write these things down, when I'm older and (hopefully) wiser, I can look back and see the changes the Lord has made in me. From my mistakes to my accomplishments, it will all be an interesting reminder down the road that we call life. And this is not to say my life is entirely that interesting, so I won't be offended for those of you who don't continue to read. This is more for myself...to not allow myself to forget the grace that God has covered me in. So here's a little bit about the girl you're reading about...
I turned 24 in July. Gosh that sounds crazy to say...24?! Ha! A 5' 2", 24-year-old who looks about 18 (if I'm lucky). I've come to accept that this will work out in my benefit when I'm older...the looks that is. The height, well no matter how much I've prayed God just won't give me that one.
I graduated from the Master's College and trying to determine what to do next... Nursing? Teaching? 2 polar opposites but both with amazing rewards. This will be continued later...
I enjoy the high after a good workout...which I try to do often or I bloat! And not just stomach bloat, but since I'm short...yeah...a white dwarf that's expanded in areas that really should not be expanded.
I'm a view person. Whether that be day or night, I get captivated by God's endless pictures He paints for me to enjoy.
I love the outdoors, but HATE bugs with a passion! I believe that just about every flying, ugly bug is from the plague.
I love Disneyland. It's probably silly, but it makes me happy! It's one of my favorite places in the world. And you better believe I'd go matching with my partner...matching shirts, hat, shoes, backpacks, whatever it is would make me enjoy the place that much more.
I'm an optimistic realistic. I can find positivity in just about anything. But the reality of it is that sometimes things just suck, and in the end it will all be okay.
I have made...PLENTY of mistakes. Mistakes that are minor. Mistakes that are destructible. It's only through the grace of Christ that has allowed me to keep on going and growing...also to be continued later.
I'm a hopeless romantic. I refuse to believe that the honeymoon phase ends after a while. Yessss (a thousand times), I know it's not all rainbows and butterflies. But the joys of being with the one you love is what I consider my "honeymoon phase," and that joy will outweigh those hurricanes and explosives.
I am terrible at verbally communicating my thoughts. I'm constantly asking myself: "What just came out of my mouth?" "Did that just come out of my mouth?" "That's not what I meant." "No what I meant was this." It's almost like my thoughts are straight, but what comes out is crooked? I honestly don't even know. Not that I'm trying to excuse myself, but I'm giving a forewarning.
The most important fact...I'm a branch that's a part of the Vine. Although I often fail, the Lord is gracious enough to prune my branch so that I can grow and bear more fruit.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5
