Hobbies: does work count? lol, I enjoy doing anything outdoors, writing/playing/singing music, and reading (mainly non-fiction material).

Favorite food: broccoli casserole, anything chocolaty/fudgy and mixed with peanut butter, and stuffed shells 

Favorite Movies: Bambi, The Sound of Music, White Christmas 

Favorite Places: the beach

Favorite Book(s): Aside from the obvious (my Bible)... My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers, Lifestyle Evangelism by Joseph Aldrich, and a book I am currently working my way through -- a Biology textbook

Favorite Music: I like finding music by new artists with styles that are different than what is in the mainstream. I also enjoy jazz/folk music, as well as most Christian music. The lyrics to a song play a big part in whether I listen to it or not.

Heroes: My parents.

Quotes:

"If you look for the bad in people expecting to find it, you surely will." - Abraham Lincoln

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." - Thumper, from Bambi

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all dangers and perturbations of love is Hell." - from The Four Loves, by C.S. Lewis

Have you ever wanted to experience the adventure of a lifetime? Ever since I started down this path of following Christ, desiring to live as He lived and serve as He served, my life has become that adventure. His passion and His excitement fill me with more life and more love than I feel I am able to hold. Working alongside people and loving them as they experience life's joys and sorrows is one of my greatest passions. Only when my heart is ministering to the hearts of others, breathing His life and mirroring His compassion, am I ever truly content. Having the chance to minister with Kingdom Force, and traveling for a whole year with a team of four other individuals, goes beyond anything I had ever imagined. The next great adventure of a lifetime...
