The Word Crafter: I'm "Linking Up"!

Who Am I?

I am merely a teenage girl, trying to find her way in life. But if you look closer, you will see my fingers are stained with ink from the aimless doodles that cover every blank page and margin, and from the furious scribbling that fill the pages of my numerous notebooks. You will notice that I burst out singing at random times, am extremely absent-minded, and laugh way too easily. I read avidly, write fiercely, love passionately, and hate bitterly. The Bible is the source of my peace--and I am a sinner saved by the mercy of God's grace. I feel naked without my camera, and everywhere I look, I see possible snapshots that could have been taken. My pen is my weapon, my camera is my companion--and beauty is my inspiration. I am, as L. M. Montgomery put it, "an eternal slave to beauty". I spend most of my time gazing at the curtain that separates the natural from the supernatural—but at times, at times, the curtain is lifted. These moments I live for.

I'm "Linking Up"!

I just finished reading Lynette Kraft's newest post, and she had the idea to help us Christian ladies connect and relate to each other and encourage each other. Here's my ten facts about myself....
1. My main priority for dress is comfort; I don't really care if the colors clash :D
2. I love music; when I went to camp, and was away from my radio, the thing I missed most was music.
3. I have always had a secret craving to be a princess in a castle far away in the hills of my imagination. Although I know that life for princesses in the earlier centuries weren't exactly picnics.
4. I love to sing loudly to my favorite songs...my voice isn't necessarily great but it's pretty good.
5. My favorite verses are Deuteronomy 31:8 and 1 Peter 5:7.
6. I have conversations with the characters in my stories.
7. I think there is nothing prettier then looking out at the golf-course beyond my backyard in the early morning, when mist still circles the sloping hills and dew coats the green grass, and the sun is just beginning to rise. *dreamy sigh* It's beautiful.
8. I love candles; they're so much more romantic then lights.
9. A beautiful sun-rise, a story-plot, or a meaningful song will bring tears to my eyes almost instantly.
10. I'm an "eternal slave to beauty," as L. M. Montgomery puts it.

Okay I'm serious this is the last goodbye. ^_^ See you guys later!!

I've always wanted to be a princess to. There's just something about the beautiful, frilly dresses - not to mention the promise of a handsome prince before the conclusion of the story!; August 6, 2009 at 2:14 PM
Julie Arduini said...: I'm so glad I found you through Lynnette, sounds like we have a lot in common! I too can be moved to tears by a plot, a song or a sun rise and earlier this year I felt like God gave that a definition---that I'm a visual worshipper. Makes sense since my singing isn't great worship, LOL.

Awesome blog, keep at it!; August 6, 2009 at 6:01 PM
