About Me

My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.

It is because of God's grace and for His glory that I "live and move and have my being."

I am currently back in Indiana, studying English Education at Purdue University, far from the home I've come to know and love in Victoria, Australia

My family means the world to me.

Living in America and loving in Australia, I am blessed indeed. Complete Profile

      Home Alone
      Well, Allen and I survived! And my family got home safely! :) Last night was kind of scary. Allen went to something with highschoolers, and my family didn't get home till about eleven. So I was home all by my lonesome! But it was actually kind of fun! I got the whole house to myself, including the computer and phone! :D

      Church
      I can count the times I've been late for church on one hand. But, yesterday I wasn't just late to the morning service, I was also late for evening church! It was so sad. In the morning, I was ready, not to mention at the Ray's which is about 3 minutes from the church! The guys (Allen, Joe, Isaac) left right before we s (Mary, Hannah, Rebekah, and me), and Mr. and Mrs. Ray left a lot earlier than us. Anyways, Hannah couldn't find a working key. Then she made me go and lock the door! ;) Soo...we were slightly late. I wasn't exactly sure what we were doing for choir, either! So that was interesting! Allen and I ate at our grandparent's house. We went home in the afternoon and both ended up sleeping. Allen set the time for his alarm, but forgot to actually turn the alarm on! And I, not thinking, set my alarm for 5:30 p.m. We live about 15 minutes from the church, so that would have given us exactly enough time to get there when the service started at 5:45 p.m. Obviously, it took us a few minutes to get ready and go. So we got there almost 10 minutes late. But at least we got there, right?! ;)

      Things I like
      I got this idea from       Ashley Rusk.
      1. Getting a new piano piece (that I actually WANT to play! ;))
      2. Roomy T-shirts & Sweatshirts
      3. Sleepovers - sometimes big ones, sometimes just me and one other person
      4. Long phone conversations about nothing in particular
      5. Singing silly songs (I do like serious songs too, ya know!)
      6. Working with a friend
      7. Games that have been played WAY too many times, but are still fun
      8. Blo.nde moments
      9. Laughing long and hard about something totally stupid
      10. My dad teasing me (Shh...don't tell him I actually like it! ;))
      There is so much more I could put, but these are just some simple little things that make me smile.

      Verse of the Day:
      "Let the word 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."
      ~Colossians 3:16-17~

      Song of the Day:
      "Into the West"
      ~Annie Lennox~       (Listen to this ALL the way through. The end is really pretty! It's after the song ends.)

      Quote of the Day:
      "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
      ~Marcus Aurelius quotes~
