I hate doors that can close on you...subway doors...elevator doors.... I hate when people are mad at me... I hate when people don't like to have deep conversations. I HATE WORMS... they scare me...I hate surpises when I know that they are coming..but don't really know what it is. I hate feeling like I let someone down. I don't like it when I feel like I haven't done my best to serve God...I hate it when I don't get to see my family and home.

I'm a student at Biola University in California. I am a sociology major and psychology minor. I really love it there! I come from a small town in Illinois... but I love it. I'm really a small town country gal at heart. I love country music and long drives on country roads. I love the woods and being at home with my family and friends. I realize how important those relationships are now. I love acting stupid and weird and making my family.. especially Shanda and Amy laugh. That is when I'm the happiest.. when the walls are broken down and I am me.. the person God created me as.

The most important thing about me is that I'm in love with God and he is the most important thing in my life. I thank him everyday for all the times he has taken me back when I've betrayed him. He is amazing!! I only hope that in everything I do, that I can glorify him. It is the only thing I am here for! I love being on my knees in prayer in his presence...offering myself to his will.

I love my family... there are the most important thing to me except my relationship with God. They are my support system.. the people who accept me for who I am... and who love me no matter how many times I screw up. I thank my dad for raising me in a Christian home when times were tough..and showing me that not matter how hard life gets.. to never lose sight of the only solid rock in you life GOD! I truly look up to him. I love my mom and I am thankful that I can tell her everything and everything and that she is ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. I love the relationship I have with both of my step-parents. My step mom is like my best friend and she is so amazing. I love the way she lights up when she is proud of her kids and the wonderful mom I see in her. My step dad works hard is a great support to my mom. My older sis is such a role model. I am truly amazed at her relationship with the Lord and her dedication to Him. The rest of my siblings are pretty much amazing and I love them all. I hope that I can be a good example for them and that I can show them what it means to walk with the Lord.

Kels.. wow, I am so glad that God has placed you in my life!!! Thanks for all the good times and laughs so far!

ok.. dreams... I hope to be in the center of God's will always.. to show others His compassion, grace, love ect. Hopefully work in Africa or somewhere giving care to the needy and brokenhearted! Meeting their needs.. so they can see Jesus! This section is short because I don't know what God has in store for me yet and he could totally change any dreams of mine.. that would be fine by me. I might not even finish school if he doesn't want me to... it is up to him. I would totally move to Africa or wherever he wanted me to today if that was his will. But for right now.. I'm at Biola and we will see where he will have me go from there!



Marriage? Yeah.. someday.. every girl dreams. BUT!!!.. I only will get married if it somehow it is going to glorify God more to be married than be single...otherwise it is not worth it. I pray all the time about it though. If I do meet him I only hope he pursues me because I pursue God.I hope that he can act just as stupid and crazy as me. I hope that we can pray and worship God together. I hope that we are best friends and can talk openly about our Lord and savior.... that we read the bible together and put God in the center always. Other than that... I am not picky.. ha ha! I'm a dork.. I know.
So....that is about it for the about me section.!



I'll end with this:
"God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfuly display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives".
John Piper
