| A Tad About Me |
| Random Stuff I like pickles! I was born in Denison, Texas on April 3, 1982 My favorite color is red, and my favorite animals are kittys. My favorite bands are Superchic[k] and Audio Adrenaline. I like Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, all the Star Warses, The Mummy, The Mask of Zorro, You've got Mail, and 10 Things I Hate about You I LOVE to drive fast- I want a Mitsubishi 3000 GT when I grow up! I like to take pictures--I'm very snap-happy. I love venti solo Raspberry White ChocolateMochas! My sisters are two of my best friends and they are so beautiful! |
| I love Jesus, and I've devoted my life to Him. I am trying my best to serve God as I should, and He's given me all the joy one could handle! Other than that, I'm a singer. I love to sing, it's my life. Snowboarding, too, I love it and I do it as often as I can. I'm 22, and am in my fifth and last year of college at Howard Payne University in Texas. I graduated from high school in Colorado, then moved to Montana, with my family. My Board I love my board. It's black and white and says "In the beginning God" on the top, and on the bottom there's a Christian fish. My |
| friend's dad designed it, and it's way groovey. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I've been boarding since 1997-I was hooked the first time I strapped my feet into the board! (Wasn't so sure the next day, though, when I couldn't move :) ) I'm not very good, but I try! I fall a lot--I've sprained my wrist and got whiplash in my neck! But it was tons of fun and I can't wait until next season! My Music As I mentioned, I LOVE to sing. I am currently majoring in music education at HPU and let me tell you, it's a LOT of work! But I enjoy learning all that I can. I sing in the worship team at my church and in a band called Wandering Servant! In high school, I was in choir and show choir and was student director for a lower choir. I also did a lot of honor choirs, including making All-State choir both years I was eligible. That was a blast, I learned so much while I was there! I also was the lead singer in a band called Wandering Servant. It's so much fun, and I love all the others in it. The reason I sing is because God gave me the talent, and I want to use it to bring people closer to Him. I listen to a lot of Jewel and Jennifer Knapp and it comes out in my singing and writing. I love to write music. I know God has something exciting planned for me! |
| My Walk I gave my life to God when I was 6 years old, and when I was 13, I rededicated my life to Him. Three summers ago, when I was 15, I dedicated my life to God again, but this time for Him to use me in a music ministry. I've been hot and cold in my walk on and off, but now God is really dealing with me and I'm more serious about Him then I ever have been before. I realize that I owe my life to Him. He gave me His life, which I know I did not deserve. I love singing and do it very often in church and other such places. I have learned that I do much better if I sing for God's glory and not my own. My voice was made to praise Him. I desire nothing more than that. And the Bible says if you "delight yourself in the LORD, he will give you the desires of your heart." So I have made up my mind to "delight myself in the Lord" or in other words, do what He says and follow His commands. The desire of my heart is to use the musical talent God has given me to touch tons of people for His glory. If you have any desires, or goals, at all, you need to consider this verse and apply it to your life. Here is a web page by ZJam that has more verses that could help you with this. Some Struggles When my dad told me we were going to be moving from Colorado to Montana in the middle of my senior year, I was not happy. I knew it was God's will, I could see that, but I did not want to go. I prayed and prayed and begged and pleaded to God not to move us there. But He knew what was best, and He did anyways. In November, my dad, mom, and little sister moved to Montana. But God worked it out that both my older sister and I could stay in Colorado. I wanted to finish the school year and graduate there. It was very hard being separated from my family. The family I lived with while I was in Colorado was the best they could be, and treated me wonderfully, but it just wasn't the same. I missed my family a lot. But God helped me through it, and now I am a much stronger person for that. I moved to Montana the day after I graduated, and once I got here, I sat in my car and cried and cried. I told God I didn't want to be here, I wanted to be back home wih my friends. But He said no. He wanted me here, so I finally calmed down. It was so hard to trust Him when He said I was supposed to be here, but I had no idea why. But He was faithful and He has richly blessed me for being here. And no matter how alone I felt here or in Colorado, God was always with me. When things didn't go the way I wanted them to or He said no to me, He was still there to comfort me and give me a peace about everything. In Matthew, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary or burdened and I will give you rest." And He is so faithful to keep His promises. |
