Basically the two people who read this blog both know what this is so I don't really feel the need to set it up besides the fact that I'm supposed to list 10 honest things about myself.
Most things I say about myself are true...so I suppose just the super duper true things? I dunno, I'll just go with the first that pop into my head.

1. I have a really hard time worshiping in church if I feel like I've been a jerk recently, that day or immediately beforehand and I can't worship until I try to get that cleared up with God. Otherwise I feel like a complete fraud.

2. I really love my cat more than I think almost anyone truly understands. She's my child, I would give her a kidney, the is the screen-saver on my phone and the light of my life. Her name is Lillie Angelina by the way. I have a few possible tattoo ideas for her.

3. I identify with a character on the great show that is One Tree Hill more than any other character in visual or written form. When she cries, I cry and sometimes that's the only way I can get my emotions out. She helps me work through them. I know this sounds crazy and/or cheesy.

4. I could eat Chick-fil-a every single day of my life.

5. More than anything else these are the things I want most out of my life here on earth- to get married to my dream guy. That one that I don't think would ever notice me but he does and he loves me and I completely trust him and he truly loves the Lord but is also "off-beat" and real and strong (and I could go on and on gushing) I can't even fully imagine that.
To have at least one baby (I'm so excited to be pregnant!) and also adopt.
To make art or write things that move people and serve God and make a difference in someone's life. To possibly come to the place where I can make and enjoy making art and/or writing for a living. I want to use who I am, who I am uniquely and awkwardly for Him.

6. The other more important ongoing life goal is less physical. I want to feel truly and deeply without a doubt constantly connected with my Lord. To be able to worship and live for him without this film of self awareness I can't seem to shake for more than a few minutes at a time.

7. I would rather have a car accident than injure or kill an animal with my car. People say that everyone hits a deer at one time or another where I live. I pray and hope that that never happens to me because it will haunt me. I slow down for squirrels so that will probably end up in a collision someday as well.

8. I've seen "A Walk To Remember" more times than you have. I have lost count but it has to be at least 50 times. It's kind of sad.

9. I love watching intelligent, fictional crime shows such as "Criminal Minds" and learning random facts. Like last night I learned that 94% of arsonists are male, 75% are white and only 14% are caught, usually only after 30+ fires though.

10. I feel out of place and awkward in pretty much every social situation no matter where I am.


Wow that was so much longer than ya'lls. Blab blab blab.
I'm sorry I haven't been active on here recently, I've been dealing with a lot of family issues and personal issues and haven't felt like I was in the place to try and be any kind of example for Christ on this blog.

  1. Heya beautiful!
    I know what you mean... I think something is happening at the moment, because I'm pretty 'out of it' right now too! I'll be praying for you!
    Thanks for sharing those ten things... number 5 could pretty much be me. :)
    xoxo
    God bless!

  2. I won't steal your guy! May I ask if you're friends? My problem is admiring from a distance because I fully try not to initiate or act any differently so the guy I'm "crushing" on I've never even talked to.
    But he leads worship sometimes!

  3. haha... yeah, well, I knew you wouldn't steal him, but hey, he matched your description perfectly... He's in the band at church too... plays drums and sings *sigh* and writes songs *more sigh* :) We are friends... but I mostly admire from a distance. I mean, like, we do talk and stuff, and his sister *grr... gotta love her :)* made me sing one of my songs to him and he likes it so we are going to have to spend time together working on it, but yeah... where was I going with this thought? Oh yeah, that's right... we're friends, and I'm working on it staying that way.
    :) I'm sure your guy is just as wonderful as mine...

  4. That's so great that you guys are friends founded on that foundation of worship! And you being friends with his sister is a big in.
    I was just thinking to myself (you live in Australia, right?) how he must have a fantastic Australian accent and then I realized how stupid that is because so do you.
    I don't see how he can remotely be my guy in a non-creeper kind of way seeing as how he doens't know my name but I do know he's seen my because I ended up standing two rows from the front during church 2 weeks back when he led and I felt like I was on display.
    Uhh I need to shut up about boys.

  5. Basically it's trusttrusttrust and patiencepatiencepatience and praying constantly to keep my mind off of him, completely if he is not the warrior poet intended for me.

  6. hahahaha... yeah. I emailed his sister (the one who forced me to sing him the song), well, yeah, I emailed her 27 times today. and probably will email more tonight. :) lol. his other sister is my small group leader at youth... :) fun fun... and their parents are the church's senior pastors... :) it's good.
    hehehe... i'm giggling over the whole 'accent' thing. cause, we would say that you guys have the cool accents. It depends what you would call a 'fantastic' aussie accent, cause we sure don't go around saying 'g'day mate! how ya' doin'?' all the time... anyway. if you go to that link I put, and then go back to the profile it's attatched to, you could listen to some of their band's songs... they rock. :)
    but you are right. trust and patience are the key things right now. and prayer. :)
