ten things
Replied Jan 20
Thankful that He is faithful.
Profile Information
- My Current Occupation:
- Working
- My major:
- English w/ an Education minor
- Birthdate:
- 1/25
- My Favorite Music:
- Anything that enables me to seek after the heart of God.
- About Me:
- I work as a math and reading tutor, and as a substitute teacher all over Duval. So if you are a local teacher and need a sub...I'm available!
I graduated from UNF with an English degree...
'cause yeah, that's marketable :-P
Though I am your girl if you need mad editing skills... :-)
And you often will find me singing, if the context allows.
I hang out with A218 Forward on Monday nights.
I work Tues, Wed, Fri nights, and Sat mornings...yay for little social life.
I am currently working through the process of moving to Haiti to teach missionary kids. The process is rocking my world on many levels right now.
I am a night owl who is trying to find her inner early bird.
I love logic puzzles, and do Sudoku puzzles everyday. The more challenging the better.
I have way too much creative energy, and not enough focus to use it productively all the time. I find that frustrating.
But when I find a creative or analytical outlet (or something that is both) it is like music with a beautiful harmony.
- My Interests / Hobbies
- Activities:
A218 Forward, Running, Working on Haiti stuff, Singing in my car, Hanging out with people and doing life with them.
Interests:
Music, classical and otherwise, taking voice lessons, leading worship, drama (I like directing), painting, sculpting, otherwise creating art, scrapbooking, photography, travel, thinking about deep life questions, staring off into space, cat naps, being with good friends. Getting more active by walking, biking, and swimming some. Analyzing and logistics. Proofreading anything, studying math (calculus, anyone?), little projects that never get finished, blogging, etc.......
- My Goals / Aspirations / Dreams
- I feel called to the Nations...and there is an s on that word. Whatever that means....
And I feel called to be the advocate and ambassador for those who have no voice...
James 1:27 (Amplified Bible) - "External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need..."
- The things that make me want to get out of bed:
- Anxiety about sub jobs (specifically the fear of not having plans left), Leading worship, Opportunities to spend time in and with the Access community, The chance to help people.
- My favorite place I've been:
- Haiti, I kinda like it a lot.
- My books I'm reading:
- My Utmost for His Highest, and Drumbeats (a history of WorldTeam, the organization I will be serving with in Haiti).
- A little known fact about me:
- I have 5 step-sisters and a half-sister.
But I consider myself an only child because I didn't have the step-sisters until I was grown, and I have only met the half-sister twice.
- One thing I hope to accomplish this year:
- Find a full-time job for the fall so I can throw money at student loans. It would be nice to have a teaching job, too, so I get more experience before moving to Haiti next year.

Reflection question #3: Does guilt keep you from living the life you were created for?
My first thought...
What interesting timing for this question.
YES! At least guilt tries to, but God and I eventually win out over it.
I try to avoid situations which might create guilty feelings, when they are situations I need to be in. But usually, God will bring me to these hard situations anyway.
On the macro side of things, I have been dealing with a lot of non-specific guilt lately [a hint that it was not healthy appropriate guilt]. The feeling of unworthiness that springs out of it mak… Continue

Following the leading of the spirit
So I looked at my gaslight coming on today, and decided not to push my luck, and headed over to get $3.71 gas at Wal-Mart (not my favorite, but hey, I'm broke). So I have to wait in line for gas for a few minutes, and get behind this REALLY old car, where the driver had gone to pay. So I waited and waited...and when I thought I might get impatient, I felt God's peace, and was reminded that I wasn't in a big hurry, so I needed to just wait.
So a REALLY old lady comes out to pump her gas, and was… Continue
