Hello readers!
This is my first blog ever so I am brand new... I guess since
I'm starting a blog i should fill you all in on who I am!
I am a God-loving 19 year old at a college 7 hours away from my parents and sis. I love all sorts of music: rock, country, metal, soft, indie, easy listening,
etc. but I turn away from most rap music especially songs like "i can rock your bed." I just
don't like songs that are
solely about sex. I can fit my self into any crowd. I
don't drink and I most likely
wont drink when I turn 21. I
don't condemn drinking, go ahead and drink, I just dont see the point in it when i can act tipsy with lemonade haha. Also I would rather make sure everyone is safe then have to depend on someone else for my safety even if im not planning on getting drunk.I love life. I am a very optomistic person! It is hard for me to see the "bad" habits, actions, ect of people when I first meet them. I want to thank GOD for my love of life and of people. God is who gave me this joy of life. and though it may sound childish, corny, whatever...God seriously is to blame for my continuous good moods through out my life. In a book I have been slowly reading "Experiencing God" by Henry T. Blackaby and Claude V. King, God is different to each person because each person truly gets to know God through experiences. To me God is: - my salvation first and foremost
- My hope
- my friend and teacher
- my provider
- my peace
I am not going to tell you all of the reason why God means so much to me. Maybe for you God is your protector/shield? Your Father? Your strength? Only you know because God has been there in your life. No-one will ever truly understand you. no-one has heard/seen every thought/action you have done and no-one can truly understand your heart like God. I did not meant this to sound like fire and brimstone, but there is hope to that statment. While others may look down at you for whatever reason, as long as it was with heart of loving God then who cares what people think? Matthew 10:28 "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." If you have accepted the gift of Christ Jesus into your heart then who do you have to fear? No one! God will not destroy you! Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have you' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Ok I am done, very sorry about that! Well it is almost the end of my first year at University! I have met some amazing people, faced some trails, and overall grown up and grown closer with God. Other than school work I kept myself busy this year with Campus Crusade for Christ and then in the middle of the semester, InterVarsity. WOW! Campus Crusade for Christ was a great place to find amazing Christian friends but through IV...I have made, hopefully, the longest lasting friendships! I have grown closer to God through IV and my friends and this year was the first year of have a slightly consistent daily bible study every morning. Sad to say I am not having that this week....
I have a boyfriend, I am going to live in an apartment next year, and i hope to have more meaningful blogs next time. Watched the movie "Julie and Julia?" I want to do a blog like that. Something crazy and weird. I dont want to become popular like Julia did. I just want to do something crazy for next year. Good news is I am going to be leading an all girls small group next year with my amazing Sister in Christ and ultimately one of my best friends Rebecca. Many of those gatherings will be posted on here. :)
People like to know what you like to do for fun...something that involves ppl and moving around. I like to go for walks mostly. Listening and singing along to my ipod even if i do look slightly crazy... I just like to hang with people and be socialable. Oh btw I have a few nicknames that might well describe me better: Giggles, Lizard, Dani, Slappy G. (from a card game Eyptian RatScrew, I slap and grab the cards away so Slappy Grabby). Yay card games! I just love people! Call it motherly instincts or what but I just love sitting and listening to people's stories, just talking and sharing jokes, or whatever. You learn alot if you just sit, listen, and hug.
Oh thats a good thing to talk about! Hugging! Umm Another amazing book is "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman! Read it! Well Im going to describe it in short. the five love languages: Physical touch, Words of Affrimation, Quality Time, Acts of Service and Gift giving. Basically one person does two of these traits often and very well and they feel loved most when ppl talk in their love language. For example, my love languages are quality time and physical touch. I love giving out hugs, i tend to just randomly touch someone shoulder and I love to spend time with you even if we are not really doing anytihng together just being in the same room means alot to me. I will remember you more and care about you more. physcial touch is not about the sexual things... just saying... I like to cuddle, hug, play with hair, ect. and I like to have my hair played with to and maybe a back massage would be nice every once in awhile...ahhhh.. haha!
Well I have typed enough for my first blog. I hope I didnt bore you and I hope to tell you my adventures for this summer! Maybe I'll come up with some sort of challenge :D
Love from me!
