about_me

Hi! My name is Rachel. I'm 19 years old. I live in California, USA.

about_me.believe

I believe that God created the heavens and the earth, and me, and you, and the whole universe. I believe that God formed each and every one of us with loving care and true artistry. I believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of the living God. I believe that God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to save you and me from the sin in which we constantly wallow, and to give us eternal life, that we might live for God and worship Him in all we do. I believe that Jesus gave His life on a rugged Roman cross, and that he was buried, and rose again on the third day, conquoring death and sin once and for all. I believe that Jesus suffered and died for me, and took my sins on himself, though he never sinned, so my sins may be washed away. I believe that Jesus Christ is my Savior, my Redeemer, my Lord.

about_me.family

2 Super Parents. 1 Awesome Sister. 1 Rockin' Brother. I don't understand how or why, but somehow I managed to get the very best family on the planet.

about_me.pets

1 Crazy Cat (really crazy)=^..^=
My family has 1 dog and 1 babydog. My Sis and Bro each have a cat too. And now we have 2 silly kittens...:)

about_me.homeschool

Yep, I'm one of those homeschoolers. Ya know, one of those who do their school at home. In my pajamas, yes, that's right. Yes, we do socialize on occasion. And every once in a while they let me out of the cage (we do alot of interesting science experiments in this family/school).*L* just kidding, I still have to do math like the rest of you though.
Okay, so now I am a highschool graduate (as of June 6th, 2003), which would make me a college student rather than a homeschool student. But I will always be a homeschooler at heart. I've been homeschooled all the way from kindergarten through 12th grade. I think that's quite an accomplishment. So congratulations Mom...we made it! We all know it was more your doing than mine...:)

about_me.music

I love music. Some of my fav. bands/artists are Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, DcTalk (though they are in sort of "intermission" currently), Jennifer Knapp, Ginny Owens, Nichole Nordeman, Switchfoot, Relient K, Riley Armstrong, Tree 63, Ten Shekel Shirt, Supertones, Third Day, Nicole C. Mullen, Skillet, Delirious?, By The Tree, Joy Williams, and Jars of Clay. (that was the condensed version)
I'm learning to play the guitar. It's really exciting. I've wanted to play the guitar for some time now, so it's been really great. Currently, the list of songs I can play includes: Twinkle twinkle little star, Take me out to the ball game, Jingle bells, Silent Night, Jingle bell rock, Deck the halls, Fur Elise, part of Wild Thing, In the Secret, part of The Entertainer, The Shuffle, part of Dixie, Martyrs and thieves, Let that be Enough, Deliver Me, Find Me in the River, and many more. Some of the songs I would like to learn to play include "Peace", By Jennifer Knapp, "For the moments I feel faint" By Relient K, and "Sleep" By Riley Armstrong. I have one acoustic and one electric acoustic, both of which are wonderful and fun. I tried the drums once too. Let's just say that I lacked the coordination (I was like ten).

about_me.art

I love art too. I like to draw with charcoal, pencils, and colored pencils, but I love to watercolor. I'm pretty excited, cause my Dad bought me an easle. It makes me feel like a real artist. Also, my dad made me some boards out of masonite(sp?)to put soaked paper on to dry so it won't curl up after I paint on it... They're awesome.

about_me.read

Reading is one of my favorite pass times. Some of my favorite children's books are "The Fire Cat"(By Esther Averill), "Hamilton"(By Robert Newotn Peck), "Hi all you Rabbits"(by Carl Memling), all Ramona books (by Beverly Cleary), all Nancy Drew (By Carolyn Keene) and Hardy Boy books(By Franklin W. Dixon), and all Dr. Suess books, especially "Ten apples up on top". Some of my top current authors are: Brandilyn Collins, Dee Henderson, Alton Gansky, Bodie and Brock Theone, Hannah Alexander, Frank Peretti, Terri Blackstock, Beverly Lewis, and Philip Yancey.
