Favorite Verse:
Colossians 3:15-17 ‘Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the words of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.’
Favorite Author:
Ted Dekker, Frank Peretti, and the Apostle Paul
If I could be a Superhero:

After the Bible… This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti or Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller

The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker and The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini

God has pushed me into being more outspoken about my faith, caring more about His plan for me than what others think, and having more confidence in my identity in Christ

Mimicking backyard birds and making stuffed animals
Best Thing About Me:
I guess the fact that I’m pretty patient and that I don’t mind being a ‘listener’.

Late at night when I can see the stars and enjoy the silence.
Most Visited Website:
Probably either Yahoo or Google to look stuff up…
Any Final Words?:
Take the time to really appreciate how amazing God and His creation is! Most of us, me included, are usually too busy trying to get things done for God that we don’t take the time to really look at and admire what He’s done for us!
