I was born in Portland, Oregon August 23rd, 1983, in the year of the Boar. My birthday falls on the turn of the moon, so sometimes I am a Leo and most times I am a Virgo *(^^)*
I am the eldest daughter of three, and I grew up with family and friends all around me. I was brought up in the church, but I only came to accept Jesus Christ as my personal saviour the summer right before I entered high school. I changed immensely when I come to think about it...The people and circumstances that God has used to touch my life with have shaped me into who I have become. I know that I can learn or take away from everyone and every situation I encounter, it only takes a positive belief in God, and that all things are in HIs hands. Life is fleeting, as I have been taught through the years, and one must not take anyone for granted. I pray that I will grow this year, give up those things that distract me from God and be able to become His light in this world. I truly want to love and serve others without any thought to my own selfish wants and needs. Pray that I would truly become His daughter and ambassador to the nations. Thank you~~
Currently, I'm at UCLA. It's a beautiful school with even more wonderful and beautiful people. I am so happy to be here, even though I get bouts of home sickness. I have a family in Christ all around me, as well as friends and newly found brothers. God has always provided me with what I have needed, and as if I needed more assurance I try to take matters into my own hands...but I want to try and let go of my life, and focus outwards to others. And I know that this will take a daily relationship with Him, in prayer and service. But I want to try~
I am such a romantic at heart, even though, sometimes my practicality gets in the way of things. I find myself trying to hold on to those idealistic portrayals of love. But slowly I have come to recognize that I am not being disillusioned, but that I am learning the true nature of love itself. The emotions last for a moment, but after the night passes and the day comes understanding and wisdom arise. Something that I have trouble doing is, learning to follow my heart...however, if you think about it...what does your heart know anyway? Can you make decisions solely based on where your heart tugs at you to go? I'll leave that question to answer itself...
My passion in life has to be singing. I have been doing it naturally (to the annoyance of others ;;^^) since I was young. It allows me to express my emotions through the words of others, and in a sense, in conjunction with other people. It frees me from the conventions of life. Whether it be at a karaoke room or in my personal room, I enjoy the gift that God has given me.
