Me. Myself. And I.

Hey everyone!! Today is the day that I officially become a blogger..oh my! haha I'm really excited about this and I hope you all are too! I've never done anything like this and so I'm very nervous to see how everything works out. I want this to be a place were people can come and read and be encouraged, strengthened and loved! I want to first of all let you know that You are SO loved even if it doesn't feel like it at times, secondly I want you all to feel like you can ask me questions about anything whether its what I'm writing about or whats on your mind, I want you to feel like you can talk to me! I don't have all the answers I can tell you that from the start but I will try my best to answer any of your questions or just be there to listen because sometimes we just need some one to listen and stop telling us what we can do better. I hope and pray that this can be a place where you'll be able to comfort and strength....but ultimately you can only find your strength and comfort in Christ!

With that being said I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself, I know my bio kinda says a lot about me but there sure is so much more! I was born in May and I've lived in the same house since I was born, out in Mesa. I am the second youngest in my family with two older brother, two older sisters and a younger brother! I absolutely loved growing up in a big family, you always have someone to hangout with or annoy..haha or just talk to. I could NEVER be an only child, I mean I guess if I grew up being an only child I wouldn't know any better but from growing up in a family of 8 I couldn't ever do it! i was blessed to be born into a Christian home and just because I was born into a Christian home doesn't mean that I've always been a Christian...I haven't. I can tell you my testimony sometime soon! I love sports and I love that they have played such an amazing part in my life! I've had some of the best coaches and I they have pushed me to be a better player, friend, young lady and follower of Christ! Sports have allowed me to channel so many different emotions into something better, so if you get a chance to play a sport...DO IT!!

Growing up I was very outgoing and I didn't care about anything really or what people thought of me, anywhere I'd go I'd always make a new friend (I wish it was still like that)! I don't really know what happened there I grew up and the darn world got to me! "Don't be conformed to the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" still working on that. I still for the most part can make a friend anywhere I go but its not as easy as it was when I was little but that's okay I'm learning and the friends that I do have I wouldn't change them for the world!! Can I just tell you about a couple of my friends for a minuet...ahhh they are all so great! So first we have Josh and I've only known him for a year but in that year he has been such an amazing friend and he always teaches me something new everyday and pushes me to go after the things I want....Douglas is just the sweetest guy. I've known him for about a year as well and I just couldn't be more happier that I get to have him as a friend he has such a servants heart(not a lot of young people have that trait)I love that about him....Kal I haven't known him for long at all but in the time that I have known him I know God has put me him in my life to show me things that I couldn't see and he just has the sweetest heart and can always make me laugh...Cody is just about my favorite person in all the world, he is the sweetest most real person I know and when I say real I mean like REAL. I'm trying to find a good explanation to what I mean by real but you know when you're talking to someone and it just seems mediocre well yeah that's not what its like with him. He's actually interested in what you're saying and he wants to know more(not very many people take the time to listen). These are some of my absolute closest friends. God is so good to me by giving me such great friends that care and are in it for the long hall. There is also my younger brother and he is the BEST FRIEND anyone could ask for, he is always there for me when I need him most and he knows when I'm actin' a fool and can tell me straight to my face what I need to hear, he is the biggest blessing! I have one more friend and her name is Hannah she has such a gently spirit and ALWAYS pushes me toward Christ, we have some of the same struggles and so its nice knowing that I'm not walking through this alone and I have someone to talk to about it!! haha okay I lied I have one more Jenae but she goes by Jay...I love this girl so very much and I've loved doing life with her as my bestie! She has been through a lot and I'm really glad God has given her to me, she understands me and is always there when I need a shoulder to cry on! OK, sorry I lied again I have one more person to tell you about Jack he has been such a good friend to me over the past 6 years and I couldn't have asked for a better friend that is always pointing me to Christ and letting me know that sometimes its okay to not be okay!! Okay, I think that's all I just wanted to share with you all my AMAZING friends! They make me want to live life!!

I think I've covered almost all there is to know about me at this point, my personality is crazy....I'm loud and most of the time I don't even think I'm being loud but my family never ceases to tell me to quiet down..haha I love to laugh, I think its so therapeutic and it makes me happy so I laugh, sometimes I think I laugh to much and people probably think I'm crazy but who cares right and other times I'll laugh in uncomfortable situations because I don't know what else to do! haha awk. I always like to make a joke even though most of the time I'm the only laughing and then I ask my little brother Iggs why he isn't laughing and then he tells me straight up "it's because it wasn't funny" or he's laughing at me because of how ridiculous I'm being! But yeah, for most of you who know me you already know some of these things!! Well I think that is it for now. I'm really excited to start this blog and I hope you all will be encouraged by it and as excited as I am. I'll most likely be putting out a post once a week on Sunday night so I hope you'll tune in the hear about my crazy life! I love you all!

Forever&Always
