who

I am a child of God, just trying to love. I make mistakes but I’ll try to live my life loving God, loving people, and following Jesus.

I love to hang out with youth, read, and talk.

I write as I see, but I’m not always right.

“We have to see life for what it is, entirely more complicated than simple. Spirituality is not simple; it’s complicated. It gets messy sometimes.”
- Mike Yaconelli

I need to remind myself of this all the time.

Below is a list of things that make me happy:

• God;
• Jesus;
• When I have a strong urge to read the Bible;
• Solid Rock;
• Church;
• Knowing that I’m safe;
• Being with people who have stories;
• Meaningful conversations with good friends;
• Bouncy rubber balls;
• Books of any kind;
• Funny movies, TV series, comics, slogans or T-shirts;
• Fresh water;
• Shakespearean theatre/drama;
• Clearing out my To-Do list;
• Nice stickers;
• Warm jackets when it’s cold;
• Listening to a good CD;
• Umbrellas when it’s raining;
• Shopping for useful stuff;
• Good friends;
• Knowing that I’m redeemed;
• My family;
• The sun on a cold, or any other, day;
• Chewy brownies;
• Driving when I’m not in a hurry;
• A warm bed when it’s cold;
• A cool bed when it’s hot;
• Spiky hair;
• Hearing a song I haven’t heard in a long time;
• Colourful running shoes;
• Dogs playing;
• Sir David Attenborough;
• A good, functional bag; 
• Monty Python; 
• Rest; and
• other things I’ll add on here when I remember.

Who are you, and what makes you happy?
