About Me

I'm best discribed as a mixture friendly and shy. I feel more comfortable around people I know. Sometimes I can come across as aloof, but that wears off with just a little bit of friendliness from the people I meet.
I'm a loyal friend. I take great care to pour as much as I can into my friendships, but I need to receive the same love and care. I like to know that my friend cares as much as I do.
I'm artistic and creative. I enjoy seeing beautiful things in nature and then finding ways to capture what I like about the scene. Sometimes is photos, scrapping, drawing, painting and writing.
I'm serious about life but I enjoy spontaneity.
 I hold strongly to my values. My relationship with the Lord Jesus is very important to me. Though there have been times I have felt closer to Him and more intune with my beliefs. Lately I have more questions then answers. I think God is taking me to a new place. Taking the head knowledge to heart knowledge.
When it comes to God I seem to move very slowly, well actually I think I change in every area of my life slowly. And I dont think God is in any hurry to move me.

My Story

Have you ever tryed to share with someone your spiritual experience? Maybe you have one of those black and white stories, sinful life to God totally changing you. My story is more of a mixture of dark, light and a lot of grey. I think there are some key chapters in my life that can tell my story from unsaved to saved.
It starts as a young girl (eight or nine) crying out to God, for Him to save me from hell. I never thought I was a very bad person. I avoid any conflict so I do everything I have to stay out of trouble. Obeying the rules came easy to me. But the preachers convinced me that without Christ my good life wasnt enough.
It wasnt until I was around twenty-one when the scriptures came alive to me. Jesus became more then a rule giver and more my Father.
I was sitting down at the dining room table studying the book of John and I felt love and excitement ignited in me and the bible made a lot more sence to me.
I spend months after that reading the bible and writing notes of my thoughts. I saw verses linked together, and the theme of the Old Testament (Jesus) became so clear to me.
I wish I could say that I've only been growing in knowledge and understanding since. But life has been full of changes.
...But thats for another post...
