About Me

  • About Me: This blog is about my life, my God and His goodness, what He is teaching me, and about the amazing adventures He's taking me on. I'm learning who Christ is and what it means to be like Him. Also plenty of random thoughts here. If I know you, I probably like you. If I don't know you, I'd probably like you if I did. Other stuff: I'm 28 and single, live in the country, I do catering for special events. I like to sing and play my guitar, and sometimes I'm even inspired to write. I have always had a fascination with medical work. Part of my heart lives in Mexico.
