Even though this is a faith-based
blog, I think that sometimes we forget that no matter who we are or where we
come from, we all have a lot in common. So I’d like to take this opportunity to
introduce myself to you and give you insight into some of my quirks. My likes
and dislikes. My fears. My humanity. My prayer is that no matter where you are
in your journey, you will be strengthened by all of the things I feel God has
laid on my heart. I’m looking forward to getting to know you!
1. This whole blog thing is completely new to me. I honestly
have no clue what I’m doing.
2. I’m extremely sensitive. I’m getting better at it, but
I’ve always been the kid who would burst into sobs when the teacher asks me to
be quiet.
3. I want to please everyone. Very badly.
4. I’m really sarcastic. And I love anti-jokes. And corny
puns. Because let’s just admit it . . . they’re really punny. (Okay, that was
bad. I know.)
5. I’m a Grandma driver. So if you ever get stuck behind me
on the road . . . sorry about it.
6. I have to eat as soon as I wake up in the morning. I
really like food.
7. I exclude myself from people a lot, especially when I
think they’re better than I am.
8. I envy girls who can wake up in the morning and look
absolutely stunning.
9. My handwriting is really atrocious.
10. I smile way too much.
11. I recently played Patty Simcox in my High School’s
production of “Grease.” She’s the goody-two-shoes cheerleader who is “given to
disconcerting bursts of enthusiasm.” That’s actually my life. Except the whole
cheerleader part. Tried that in second grade . . . never really got me
anywhere.
12. I love music. So much.
13. I wish everyone would just get along. But that’s a
pretty pointless wish.
14. I’m a really deep thinker. Sometimes, I think I’m just
an enlightenment philosopher trapped in the body of a sixteen-year-old girl.
15. I eat a lot of salad. (Insecure teenage girl problems.)
16. I get really humbled and mushy-gushy when I find out
that someone looks up to me.
17. I like civil discussion on controversial topics.
18. My favorite book is The Kite Runner.
19. I became a Christian when I was ten years old.
20. I then tried to lead my dog to Christ.
21. I’m a grammar nazi. So if you ever see a grammatical error
in one of my posts, feel free to call me out on it.
22. I feel like I should be perfect, and I constantly
compare myself to everyone else.
23. I’m very hard on my bible, and it’s completely falling
apart. I guess my parents forgot to teach me how to be nice to books.
24. I’m a caffeine addict.
25. I have a very positive outlook on life, but sometimes I
feel like I frighten others with my happiness.
26. I find joy in making other people cry. But not like
defeated puppy cry. More like feeling loved and inspired cry.
27. I feel guilty because I know I’m so much more fortunate
than the majority of the world.
28. I sleep with my closet light on.
29. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with the rest
of my life. I really just want to save the whole world. Like literally, all of
it.
30. It bothers me that I used the word “world” in both 27
and 29. When I write papers, I try to vary my word choice as much as possible,
and I end up using a bunch of words that no one’s ever heard of.
So . . . that’s basically me. I’m just your average teenage
girl who simply has a lot to say. (Excuse me . . . in the spirit of my inner
English nerd, a plethora of things to say.) I just hope that something I say
will speak to your heart and say something about God. Be blessed! (:
