Location CO, United States
Introduction I'm 28, I enjoy a good conversation over a chai tea, but even more if it is over a cookies and cream milkshake. I am passionate about Jesus, & about loving people. My dream is to go to Africa and to spend my life working with kids. Colorado affords me the luxury of hiking & mountain biking-I can't get enough. I would do anything for my family & friends. I have learned that silence is a brilliant yet terrifying phenomenon. Loving Jesus is the hardest thing I will ever do. I have learned that once you say it you can't just take it back. God will not always give us what WE think are blessings. My weaknesses are: Target, cheese, sweets, being competitive, discounts/sales, babies & children, carbs, and hugs & kisses. I think that life should have theme music playing all the time like it does in movies (except those moments when silences is necessary). Stubbing my toe makes me think/say bad words. I would rather try and fail than to not try at all. I continue to learn the importance of family, the comfort of friendships, the blessing of community, and the grace of God.
