Just a Little About Me

As in fact I am in the process of being in the habit of posting, I copied my About Me from my facebook profile. I'm posting it on here to 1) have another post and 2) get used to posting. I'm trying to find time.. I really am! So here's a little information for the meantime:

Every day I stand in the midst of such an awesome God, but standing in the midst is not enough. The time in between realizing i'm standing there and the point when I see His face is a phase call life, and that is where I am.
Outwardly I am a typical Christian teenage girl. I love hanging with my two best friends that bring so much to my life. I love shopping, have a job, and don't always get along with my family, but love them so incredibly much all the same. I play basketball, go to school, etc. I go to church every week, read the Bible on a regular basis, volunteer where needed and gifted. Yeah, so what? On the inside there is a fierce battle between good and evil where no person can guess the next blow. That is the part of faith where things aren't always happy, bright, and shiny.. but it is such a beautiful battle! Ulitimately I know who wins, and whew-boy, thank the Lord I'm in the front lines of the victorious!
Inside I also have heart for a good romance most people wouldn't believe. I am strong, but realize it's OK not to have everything easily chugging along, and I show emotion during those times. I can handle being by myself most of the time. I love finding new places in Scripture where I can insert My Story. The girls in my small group are who I would give most credit for guiding me along the path He has laid out for me. My two key mentors are often the people who help me with heartache and decisions. Southeast Christian and it's teachings I've received in many different departments has changed me and continues to do so. My family is incredible and so sacrificial.
I'm just me. What you get is umm.. what you'll deal with. I'm hard to figure out, often confused, but overall I'm just a girl on a mission, and eternally thankful I'm worth something to Somebody.

Beginning to the Existent

Ok, so I admit, I'm not totally new to this blog thing... I've started a couple, and have gotten a few posts in, but not enough to really get going. I decided that I'm not the type of person who journals every night, but I am more than willing to put my thoughts to... screen. I also decided that I don't care who reads this... sorry, but it's more for a personal use. Getting my thoughts out in the open is a sense of release. This way, I can go back and see how such an Almighty God has worked in my life; how He has led me through the mountains of life, including ups and downs. So, world, here's me.
