My dreams and desires


I love working with children. Missions and children have been major passions of mine for as long as I can remember. Being a mom to hundreds of kids is a dream that is often joked about in my life. But the Lord has really given me a really big heart for children and loving those that have no one to love them. I am really invovled in my church. I help as a TNT Girls leader, teach LIttle Church, and spend some time in the nursery. I think I just love being around kids. That might be a good thing since I am an over grown child myself. I like to eat yummy food, read books, take pictures, build relationships, and joke around with friends. If there is any way not to have to be serious all the time, I find it. There is a philosophy in life I like to follow - "God made me happy, so I am going to live life abundantly." And abundantly, I do! People have often given me many nicknames in life and most have to deal with sunshine or giggles. So, if you ever see a really smiley, giggly girl around then you have probably found me.

The Lord is constantly teaching, stretching, and growing my faith in Him. I do not know where I will end up. It would be wonderful serving the Lord overseas, but if He has me in the states, then I will serve HIm there. I have found that it is not the destination but the journey we are on. Sure, it would be perfect to know where and what I am doing, but it is equally wonderful to trust God. He will reveal each step in life as I need it, when I need it. My responsiblity is to trust HIm -- nothing more, nothing less.
