To know me you would have to know...

Had to write this for my bible class. Thought I would share. :)

To know me you would have to know…
That I am too complicated for 250 words, but I don’t think that is an unusual thing for women. I am always changing. While there are some characteristics that will forever be me, there are others that come and go. Learning, growing, and thinking… being static is not an option.
I consider myself a deep thinker. I long for the day when my redeemed soul will discover that at last she has pleased him whom she was created to please. I love the Lord with all my heart and believe that Jesus is the Christ the son of the living God. I am nowhere near perfect but am a perfectionist in many areas of my life. A complicated mess, yes, but I am El Shaddai’s beautiful complicated mess. I desire adventure and yearn to make a difference. Rock climbing is my sport. I am the oldest of three girls. My parents have been married 23 years. I am a double major in Middle School Math and Science Education and Art. Other than the essential next step plans, I try to avoid getting too set on an “order of operations” for my life. I want God’s will for my life and nothing less, it is hard to do that when attempting to tell God when marriage should be, along with where and what I “should” be doing.
My freshman year of college was one of the most challenging years of my young life. I had always assumed that in college, school itself would be hard but making friends would be easy. For me, it was the opposite. I felt out of place and different. When first looking back on that year I had a moment of heartbreak because it seemed at first glance like a complete waste. Even though I was extremely lonely and I would never want to go through it again, I would never want to undo it. I learned so much and grew closer and closer to Jesus. However, from there on out I decided that, for me, living life to the fullest would have a new meaning. There are people to meet, mountains to climb, and adventures to have with my Lord and Savior.
