What is this?

Why am I starting a blog?
Seriously, I have no idea. I saw my friend Kaidee's blog and I was like, "Hey, that looks fun."
So, here I am!
I don't know what I am going to write in here... or even how often... it'll be an adventure!

Here we go!
Cricket Cricket... I am drawing a blank.
How bout we start with introducing you to the 5 most important things in my life.
1.) Jesus. He is my savior, my delight, my confidant, my protector, my friend and SO much more. I have always know about Him, but I met Him for the 1st time 7 years ago on a Side By Side (see #3) retreat. Over the past 2 years my relationship with Him has been maturing from convenience to daily/devotional. He teaches me something new every day...I love it! I can't wait to learn more!

2.) Family. I have an older sister who I look up to a lot and a little brother who is growing into an awesome young man... and who is not so little anymore. As much as I complain about it, I love being the middle child. It's the best of both worlds as Hannah Montana would say. I also have wonderful parents who have encouraged and supported me in everything that I have ever done. Their love for me is so great that it just blows my mind that God's love for me is even greater! Beyond the five of us, my extended family is very large. I love being a part of a big family and wouldn't change it for the world.

3.) Side By Side. My second family. I have been around SBS since I went on a retreat when I was in 7th grade. That is when I met a personal/relational God who loves ME. Since that retreat I have never left. I am now on the SBS Team. I go and help facilitate retreats for Junior and Senior High students... Showing them the personal God who desires and loves them just as He loves me. I could go on and on about SBS.... but I am sure you will hear more as this blog continues.

4.) My Friends. Pretty self explanatory. I love that they challenge me and also support me. I enjoy learning from them and their different perspectives. They help to make the routine of my everyday life adventurous!

5.) Chocolate. YUMMY! I am addicted. It's kind of a problem. Chocolate should not really be on the top 5 most important things in my life list... but I am really craving some right now... so today it is! I love Dove milk chocolate but Hershey's will do it. Plane and smiple. That's the way I like it!

Okie Dokie. This is enough into stuff.
Until next time home slice.
PEACE!
