I love change, I love adventure, I love taking risks. But all at once I could never have predicted would happen. Starting in the fresh newness of finding yourself is a fun mystery to embark upon. You are walking step by step in this peace, yet uncertain fact of what is about to happen next. It's a marvelous surrender that envelops your soul. You remember the past, you see your attitude, personality, but you must hold to it as you are entering into God's story written for you, specially!
As I'm just in the middle of this journey, or maybe the beginning or maybe the end, or maybe I'll never know what part I am on but I am ok with that as long as God is leading me as I run this race. May joy, positivity, adventure, risk taker, kindness, crazy, spontaneous, loving, quality time, creative, musical, deep, intense, bold, daring, bright, loud, smiling, leader, eventful, active, open, listener, talker, dancer, city goer, fashionable, determined, dreamer, visionary, challenger, lover of God always be words that describe me for those are the things I desire in life, the character I want to have and keep the rest of my days whether it's through tomorrow or 120!
The beauty of God's story is you take steps and He guides you, He does it His way, in His exact perfect plan! It may be beautiful, it may be awesome, it may be challenging, uncertain, or difficult, all in this, you have God to bring you through whatever may be coming! It's a truly reassuring moment when we have God on our side.
As I finished my last year of college, I prayed, cried, God break my heart for what breaks yours, and HE DID! It is truly a dangerous prayer, as you do it, you will see things, feel things, understand the pain behind someones eyes. I remember ever since a certain moment every time I see someone cry I cry with them, it just happens, but to cry because of what God sees is wrong is a whole other level. It breaks you, but it makes you new, and drives you with passion. It envelops you from the inside out.
As I am here now, waiting, wondering, wishing, wanting, wandering, wading in God's presence I see Him showing me things about myself I never knew. We are being made new, every day, more like Christ, which to strip away that heart of ours into the beautifully structured heart of Christ is painful, more painful than we know until those moments.
As I sit here, working part time, postponing student loans, paying my bills, living in my mother's house, it makes me question what life I want to live and what life God wants me to live. Is it simple, is it having barely any money, and am I open to that, and someone said in my Sunday School class today that it is always about being open to what God is going to have you do, in every season. But maybe I'm finding I like spending money, like nice things, but is that what God wants me to do.
I am finding passions are more fun to chase after than to sit and think about. I would rather be out doing something than sitting, learning so much about it, and waiting. Ha, I'm learning patience is not my forte, but it's becoming better!
I love to help the homeless, talk with them, pray with them, be kind to them, give money/food to them.
I love to minister through music to all, whoever would care to listen or come to an event! I like to write songs, and share my heart with others in that art. I love to spend time with people, all different ages, young to old. I love to shoot photography and capture beautiful moments in life, from normal every day life to special events that happen once in a life time! I love my church, I love helping, ministering, teaching, sharing life, challenging others, pursuing Jesus' call with others in life and in community! I love my friends so much whether or not they are here every day or not! I love my family, my sisters, and everyone SO MUCH! They make life brighter! I like surfing, tennis, soccer, being outside, swimming, the beach, the OCEAN, ZUMBA!
I like traveling places, meeting new people, seeing new places, trying new things, sharing experiences! I am passionate about stopping Sex Trafficking. I love to write articles, magazine, and such. I love to create new things, ideas, projects, trying different styles, etc. I love clothes, trying new styles, shopping, etc. I LOVE COFFEE, SPENDING TIME with people and am so interested in each and everyone's story because we all have one!
Discovering who you are, is a mystery, but a fun one, that keeps you guessing, but always remember that God has given you great things so far, and He has a perfect plan coming true each day, step by step :)
God is greater, He understands everything and has everything under control <3
God Bless,
