First Blog, opening a window to a peek in my life.

Well this is the first time that I am "blogging." So excuse the randomness. I have yet to start putting pictures up, but I will soon. I intend to use this site as an online journal of my thoughts, meaning mostly words, but some pictures for the visualizers out there like me. :)

I attend a College ministry on Monday nights at Fellowship Church here in Knoxville, called "Crossroads." I love this ministry! The worship and the message are awesome. Well for 4 weeks the speaker, Greg, is speaking on the topics of Love, Dating, Marriage, and Sex. Tonight was week 2 on the topic of "Dating," and let me say that it was definitely an eye-opener for me. For all this time I thought I was doing this whole dating thing the wrong way, because I must admit I'm a pretty picky person and don't go out with just anyone. I have always been skeptical of dating because I don't date "just for fun" that's what friends are for (fun). When I think of dating I think of marriage, yes I know maybe extreme, but that's just how I have been because I want someone who pursues me, knows who they are, and most importantly is a Christian. Divorce is not something I want to experience personally. I am a product from a divorced family, and for 2 years my life was hell.

All in all, I have been doing much thinking with all of the aspects in my life right now. I am at a point in my life where I am figuring out who I am, what I like and dislike, and so on. I am about to have a college degree at the end of the Summer and head out into the workforce, which I'm excited and scared at the same time. Goals of mine that I have had for a long time are starting to be checked off and it's such an accomplishment. I am starting to get back into church, after not going for a year and that has truly been a blessing. I am just a "church hopper" at the time, but I think I have found a church I enjoy and I get a lot out of so we will see, I'll keep everyone updated. I have been looking to God more with my problems, in times of weakness, and in times of praise. He has taught me much.

More to come, it's time for me to go into a slumber. ;)

Hi Danni,
Welcome to this world of "blog", Jeanne got me hooked too. It's more peaceful here than myspace. I look forward to watching you grow here, and hope to meet you one day.
