I'm 22, graduated from bible college in June '08, and am returning to school to start working on a second degree in Nursing. Somehow, I'm also hoping to be enrolled in a Master's program in Biblical Theology, which may be enough to push me over the edge, lol.

I'm an artsy/temporal type, as opposed to a GO-GO-YES-YES-SPORTS!!!! type. I like the Philles well enough, but I'd much rather snuggle up with a movie than go rock climbing, and I'm interested in museums, diners, book stores, movies, malls, and travel, as opposed to wrestling, sports, bars, clubs, and lounges. I'm a Christian girl, and I don't feel drawn to, or comfortable in, the bar scene. My fun is clean fun, and it doesn't involve drunkenness, vulgarity, or tossing around a bunch of foul language. Do I sound like a prude? Oh well, I'm telling it straight upfront about who i am--and who I'm not.

I take my Christian faith very seriously, and Jesus Christ is number one in my life, followed by family, then friends. I enjoy church activities, and am very involved as a teacher in Children's Ministry. I'm well on my way to becoming a children's pastor, and I can't wait!

My passions are children and animals, especially cats. I volunteer with the city shelter by fostering orphaned kittens, and I also do quite a bit of rescue work. I have a special heart for the injured, disabled, and cast-off animals, and every one of my pets was a rescue.

I enjoy reading, being silly, being serious, going to the movies, travel, shopping, diners, trying new restaurants, discovering new restaurants, church stuff, RP, artsy stuff, creative writing, volunteer service, girly stuff, people watching, and so much more. I see the absurd side of life. I think that people and situations can be viewed from many different perspectives, and laughter comes easily. I'm extremely *real*. I'm kind, compassionate, humorous, and loyal. I can also be spacey and dorky, and I'm known to be somewhat slow to come alive in the morning, lol. I'm not the hyperenergy, hotdog active type, I'm the type who goes to the gym because I have to, not because I want to. What I lack in athtletic talent and interest, I make up for in loyalty, devotion, and truthfulness. I'm as honest as the day is long, and I've come to realize that lying is evil. I truly believe that, so if you like to bend the truth, go sell deceit somewhere else, cause I put all my money in the offering plate at church.

One last thing is that parents, grandparents, children and animals love me. :) It's my sister who's not that crazy about me. :P

Well, I work teaching children ,am active as a teacher in the Children's Ministry at my church, and I love it. I'm called to be a children's pastor, and I have many years experience working with the children.

As I said above... I earned my B.A. in Biblical Theology in June '08, and I'm starting on a second degree in Nursing in Sept. I'm also planning on doing a Master's in Biblical Theology either this Sept or next. Ultimately, I'd like to go to medical school if that is how God leads when the time comes. God leads, I follow! :)

Besides children, my other passion is animals, especially cats! I do rescue work with cats, and also foster orphaned kitens for the city shelter. Very soon I plan on having my own nonprofit cat rescue. :)

The BloodBrain Barrier!

Spending time with my godkids, my family, or church friends. I'm basically a dork, and typical trends du jour of most twenty-somethings hold no interest to me.

I hate spiders with a passion, and would very much like to meet a spider-slayer..

You love God more than you love yourself
You understand The Blood-Brain Barrier.lol
You want to meet an unconventional, sweet natured girl
You'd like to meet a rarity among rarities: a person who does not lie.

HINT: I especially like big guys, guys with higher educations, and guys who put the Lord first in life.
