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

      **This post is dedicated to friends and family in my life who I love dearly**

      I haven't told any of you often enough how much I love and appreciate you. I'm not naming spacific people because I hope most of you know who you are. Some of you are old friends, and some of you new. I should probably just call/e-mail you all individually and tell you all of this, but since I'm definitely not the perfect friend, I'm sticking with this post for now. Words don't do justice to how immensly glad I am that God brought you into my life. There've been ups and downs...and many, many adventures with some of you. And others, there have only been a few oppertunities to get to know you better. I know I've not taken all of those chances I've had. There are more people who I wish I knew better...so many people I wish I've taken the time to talk to. I won't waste my life away wishing for what I don't have, but I know I do have so many missed oppertunities. I often complain about how 'hard' my life is, when really I am so incredibly blessed! God has given me so much to be thankful every moment of every day. And yet, it's so often taken for granted. As for those in my family (that narrows it down a bit ;-)) I know I often expect a lot from you and I probably am much more good natured with my friends...and I never tell you enough that I love you, but I really do. And I'm not just saying this to look like the 'good sister'. :-P I hope next time I see/talk to all you guys, I tell you I love you. And more than that, I hope I show you. I mean really, really show it. I hope there is no doubt in your minds that I love you all so incredibly much. I really can't imagine my life without the positive influence of my family and friends.

      I guess most of this thought was brought on by reading Leanna's post. I know a lot of you did, too. You probably all experienced the same sadness and wished you could encourage her in some way. I don't even know the gi'rl, but my heart went out to her in a way I'm not sure it ever has. Please pray for her and her family...I can't imagine the loss of a mother.
      Well, this post may not make the most sense in the world, but it's just a few of the many thoughts I've had these past couple days. I could post a bunch of verses, but this is all for now cuz I need to go spend some time with my family. :-)
