about



lover of the sea || avid shell collector || eater of sushi -- seriously, it's like fireworks in your mouth!!! || a sweet tea drinker || obsessed with thunderstorms || love the taste of berries and wandering in the mountains || happiest when upon the back of a horse || want to live in a cabin in the middle of the woods somewhere... sometime... i hope || in love with places and people and countries i've never been to and food i've yet to taste || i think a day without laughter is a complete waste || i am absolutely smitten with kiddos. smitten. i hope one day to have my own and adopt those the Lord would give me and pour everything I have into them || i want to live in a little cottage by the sea somewhere....sometime...i hope || i LOVE people. like really, really. i want to know about you, whoever you are. i want to know what you love, what moves you, what you're passionate about. i want to see that passion alight your life. || i'm a firm believer in living outside the box and in being stretched past my comfort zone. if talking to you pushes and stretches me out of my box, i will be forever grateful for having talked to you! i don't care if you believe something completely different than I do, that's the beauty of it all...
...but these are all secondary things about me. you want to know the most important thing about me? i'm absolutely head-over-heels in love with Jesus Christ. He is the reason i have discovered this joy that i can't explain, this peace that never leaves. this life with Him may look different at times, but that's perfectly wonderful as far as i'm concerned. i want to live every moment as if it's my last, savoring every second He has given me. i want to run this race set before me with eternity in sight, because at the end of it all, He is the goal and prize my soul longs for far more than anything else this world can possibly offer.

  1. Ok, so I love this! I only have one problem...there is a little sticker on here that says "messy hair"....I have not once in my life like ever ever seen you with messy hair!! I feel like you are one of those girls who beats everyone out of bed in the morning just to do your hair before anyone is awake, and then you sneak back to bed until everyone else gets up so that you can then stumble from your room as if you have just recently awakened with your perfectly coiffed hair!!

    1. HA!!! This is sooo not true, but can I just say how much I love you for saying that I look half way decent upon first waking up?? ;-) This is only one of the many reasons I love you... :-)

  3. You forgot to say that you love coming over to a mountain house that belongs to some friends..... but I'll interpret the little cabin in the middle of the woods as our house.... even though it's not a little cabin in the middle of the woods! :) We all (okay, me, Anna, mom and dad) keep saying how we miss Jade coming over and how we haven't seen you in forever! :(

    1. Ah, my sweet Kate, I hope I can come VERY soon to your "little cabin in the woods" and spend lots of time laughing, talking about Jesus and whimsical wonderful things, drinking hot tea, and just being together, with you!
