I get visibly more animated when discussing things that I enjoy, so
I suppose that makes me enthusiastic. I laugh a lot when people
talk, but not necessarily because they say something witty. Rather,
I enjoy hearing people say things that are characteristic of their
given personalities.
I'm really shy around people that I don't know well, so I usually prefer small groups of four to five people when going out with new friends. I find that this allows other people to initiate conversation and I can begin participating as I feel more comfortable. When I'm comfortable in a social setting, I'm anything but quiet. I love to laugh and have good banter with people.
Ehhhhhh, I'm a bit eccentric, which some people find mildly off-putting and others find completely adorable. People seem to generally get along with me. I've been told by several intelligent people that I am quite bright. I respect the opinions of these people enough to know that it's probably true, but I have a hard time believing it. If I am bright, I certainly don't act like it. While I loooooove an honest intellectual discussion, most of my chatter is focused on fluffy animals, cheesy comebacks, and slightly misunderstood sarcasm. I'm easy-going and open-minded, but I still know what I believe.
What do I believe? I believe that I am a sinner (sometimes that thought alone will overwhelm me to no end) and that my salvation has been given to me as a gift by Christ when he died on the cross. So, if you find that statement to be theologically sound, we're off to a good start. I feel like I need to go into more detail since there is such a range of 'Christians' out there; the only thing I can think to say is that it's really just a lifestyle of living in God's love and returning His love to the best of my abilities. I pray for trust, I pray to be reminded of God's promises, and try to live by grace rather than by law.
