Beginnings..

Ive never blogged before, i always thought it was silly. People writing about their everyday lives, and every little thing they do-really, who cares? But then i started reading some friends of mine, and saw it in a different light. I didn't read, "I ate cereal for breakfast, then did school, and drank some water..." No, i read about their lives, their view point on things, what they learn, how the Lord was speaking to them, and i thought that blogging is used for more than just telling everyone what you ate for breakfast every day. So I'm using this blog for encouragement for friends, family, and whoever else needs the encouragement. Id like to share what the Lord is doing in my life, what hes showing me, some of my thoughts and how the Bible plays into my life.

So to start off, I'll just tell a little bit about myself. First of all, I'm a christian. I gave my life to Christ almost 10 years ago, but its a daily surrendering it back to Him. I'm not going to say the last 10 years have been easy. The christian walk is hard, I'm not going to lie. There are some days where i just want to give up and live my life the way I want to. But then I think of all the things Christ sacrificed for me and gave me. He was separated from his father, to come to this nasty, sinful world, to be beaten, ridiculed, among many other unpleasant things, for ME! and YOU! So when i have those thoughts of giving up, and living the way I want to, i remember all that Christ did for me. The least i could do, is give him my life.

OK, so now for the unimportant stuff that I'll share, just because. I love football. I'm a huge LSU fan, and its my dream to go there for college and get a degree in kinesiology to be a personal trainer. I love running, and working out and and learning about muscles and nutrition-its fascinating! I have a big family, and its alot of fun. I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters. I grew up with all boys, till i was about 12, when my first sister was born. So I'm not really into all the "girly" type things, yes, i enjoy shopping and getting dressed up every once in a while, but I'm not going to die if my hairs not perfectly fixed or i don't have makeup everywhere i go. Id much rather be outside playing football with my brothers, than be inside painting nails and fixing hair. So anyway, I'm currently working at a 4wd Jeep shop, doing secretary type stuff, although id much rather be working on the Jeeps and getting my hands dirty, but at least i got a job :) And one day I'll own a Jeep of my own-no doubt!

So that's a little bit about myself, and we'll see how this blogging goes-hopefully it wont be too dull! :)
