A Little About Me

I figure since you're reading what I'm writing, you might as well know a little bit about me.

I said in my previous post, I'm 19, and I am going to be starting NIACC in the fall. I live with my parents and I spend a lot of time in my "dungeon".

If you asked me if I'm a Christian, I would say yes. If you asked me what I believe, I would tell you that I am a Jesus Freak, which I think is more accurate. Jesus is my Lord and savior and I will proclaim that to anybody who asks. I am not ashamed of what I believe in. How could I be ashamed of something so amazing?

During the school year, I spend every Tuesday night, and most of Wednesday's hanging out with kids. Now to make that sentence a little less creepy. I volunteer at North Iowa-Youth for Christ Tuesday nights and Wednesday afternoons, and at Rhythm church for their youth group called Verve on Wednesday nights.

Teaching students about Jesus is my passion. I love it. I love seeing the look on their faces when they finally realize just how much He loves them. I love building relationships with them. A lot of them don't get attention at home, or they get the wrong kind of attention. And I love being one outlet where they can get the right kind of attention, and a lot of it! I get to mess with them as if they were my little siblings, and I get to talk to them as if I was their best friend. The joy it brings me is indescribable.

When I'm not volunteering, I'm at work. Shopko swag. I'm a cashier there, and I generally enjoy it. It's okay. I think my co-workers make it better.

Every Sunday night I attend Rhythm church. It is full of wonderful people, the worship is amazing, and the message never fails to hit a heart string. If you are looking for a church, I would definitely recommend checking out Rhythm.

Jesus is the reason why I live. He died for me, so that's every reason for me to live for him. And that is the most important part of this post. He's absolutely amazing.

New addition to my posts:
I'm going to try to put a quote that I love at the end of each post. I'm gonna start one that was written by a teacher I had in high school. He inspires me still today.
