Hello,
Welcome to My World
To be honest, I am not really sure if
EVERYBODY loves a redhead (I hate the word ginger), but coming from a family
full of them I am convinced that everybody could use a spunky redhead in their
life. You see I don’t know if spunky would even be an accurate word, maybe
spazzy or my personal favorite eclectic. I realize blogging is just about the
trendiest activity for an almost twenty-something college student, but I figured
I’d take a whack at it.
Before coming to college I spent a
whole lot of time dancing. Specifically I danced twenty hour weeks from the
time I was in seventh grade until my senior year of high school. That included
a couple competitive dance companies and my high school pom squad. For you
Texans, pom is a real dance team unlike drill team- whatever drill team is. Dance
is generally one of the first subjects that comes up when I first get to know
people (also the fact that I’m a four time state championJ). Not only did dancing consume my
time, it also was my form of expression and anxiety relief. I’ve come to the conclusion
that I have a hard time expressing myself in words. Even when trying to have an
average conversation. I find that I end up making up words, humming a song that
doesn’t have rhythm, or literally doing a little dance because I don’t know how
to say what I want say. Sorry John Mayer I can’t “say what I need to say.”
Welcome
to my awkward life.
In addition to being a truly awkward individual,
I also enjoy watching and analyzing NBA basketball. I represent my city; I am
the biggest Oklahoma City Thunder fan here at Abilene Christian University. My second
favorite team is the Clippers because I’m a fan of the underdog, but mostly
because I have a large crush on certain OK native aka Blake Griffin (please ask
me about basketball).
The hardest part about college is
attempting to figure out what I am supposed to do with my life. Should I know
how to do this, it shouldn’t be this had right, what if I have trouble remembering
to wash my hair? So far, all I’ve got is: I like to dance, I like basketball, I
want to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, and I enjoy studying business. I know
business. It’s really cool I promise! The most important question is how can I use
the gifts I’ve been given to contribute to the Kingdom. This is the most
important question I need to answer. What is the purpose of finding a job and perusing
a career if I’m not being a light in a dark world? For now I don’t have an
answer, but I know that “every good and
perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the Heavenly lights,
who does not change like the shifting shadows” James 1:17. This has been my
favorite verse for a few years now after having to memorize it at Camp Blue Haven
a few summers ago. I am confident that eventually I will be able to see how the
“good and perfect gifts” I have been given can be used for God’s glory.
I hope the random thoughts in my head make
some sort of sense to someone out there. Again welcome to my life, word vomit
is a daily thing. There is really no telling what will become of this, if
anything. So here’s to new adventures and figuring out what’s next on the
journey.
Much
Love,
Your
Favorite Redhead
