I've attempted the blogging world a number of times. Truthfully, I somewhat doubt me sticking with this. But there is still that small part of me that really wants this blog to succeed. Not for fame or fortune, but because I need something to keep me in line. I love writing. I'm the most extroverted person on the planet and getting everything that's in my head out on paper...er, internet (?) is incredibly helpful. Taking all the mumbo jumbo that builds up in my brain during the week and being able to just lay it all out is surprisingly therapeutic. Yes, I could journal. But there's something about writing to strangers that is attractive to me. I'm excited to meet new people. I'm excited about the experiences and conversations that will come with the future of this blog. I'm excited. Period.
But HELLO what am I doing. You should know me a little, right?
Well first, whenever I blog I listen to music. And my favorite all time song (maybe) just came on my pandora station... Is this divine providence that I'm doing the right thing by starting this blog..?
"What I know" - Parachute. Feel free to judge my music selection, but this song is my jam.
Obviously grammar isn't my thing. I'm hyper and on occasion have too much energy. But I'm not writing to be proper and have everything perfect. I'm writing in an attempt to talk to y'all like I do my very best friend. I want the words I write to leap off of this screen and rest in your minds with an energetic-old spirit to them, because that's how I talk!
Lets see how well I can sum up my crazy beautiful life...
Jesus Saved me when I was 12. He took a gross yucky sinner and transformed me into his daughter. I will spend the rest of my days proclaiming His name.
I dance through life. Literally. I have been on my toes since my mother put me in my first ballet class when I was six years old and I have not stopped dancing since. From age six to now, I have focused specifically on classical ballet and have spent the better half of those years on a stage. It's my passion. My wonderful teacher is currently allowing my assistance in her class room and I am in the process of learning how to be a better, stronger dancer, along with advancing my teaching skills.
I'll take adventure any day it is handed to me. I love going and doing. I have been on several trips, but never enough! There's always something new to explore.
Being home-schooled my whole life, I've grown up differently than most. You would assume I'm a dork. I'll let you... But I do have friends, I do have a job, I do have a life. I know. Shocker.
I treasure the friendships God has put in my life. I appreciate loyal friends and being there for the people you love. Serving one another is, in my opinion, the characteristic. Putting away yourself to serve and love is completely admirable.
I'm definitely more extroverted but I do have my introverted moments.
I'm a hopeless romantic. I know hes out there. My love story is just starting to unfold. With who? I wonder that everyday... It'll happen. I know it. I'm in love with the idea of being in love. I know love exists because my father in heaven loves me and gave me two precious parents to prove to me that God can gift his children with the gift of a life long partner. How exciting is that?
Through this crazy life, I have had my fair share of ups and downs. Everyone has. But at the end of the day, as long as I have my family on one side, and my bible and journal on the other, I'll be alright. I'm a sojourner. This life is not my home. While I am here I will serve my Father above and proclaim His name. I will share His love with others and shin His light. So stick around! This should be fun...
