I love just about anything outdoors. I discovered camping when I was in college and decided to add that to my list, as well! I would be entirely content to play volleyball ALL day long if my body would allow for that, or rather, if life would allow for that. I do also love to sit in a coffee shop and read biographies (I LOVE biographies) and of course, read my Bible! I have much interest in traveling, sewing, theological study, piano, and humor (all entirely disconnected interests :) ).

My great interest, however, lies with the body of Christ. I would meet with anyone in the body of believers every waking moment. My interest IS the Church, His bride, and I LOVE to both give and receive encouragement, exhortation, "truth in love", and stimulation on to love and good deeds. I want to truly KNOW the brethren.

I was 22 when the Lord called me to Himself. I initially wrestled with questioning my salvation/calling, but the Lord in His sweet grace taught me from His Scriptures how to war against principalities, and what is true of His very nature, particularly His love and His sovereignty (and thus security in salvation). I love that I had nothing to do with my calling, and that the Lord promises in His calling of His children to conform them into the image of Jesus Christ, and THEN doesn't stop there! He promises to carry them through, unto glorification. I am secure in His character, promise, and mediator, His very own son.

If I have to comment on my Christian walk "these days", I guess I would have to say that I seek in the morning to do as I am told by my heavenly Father; to walk in the Spirit, meditate on His law, and spend time in prayer. I believe that is true, or should be, of every child of His. I want my concern to be the disciplines unto godliness and so, I guess those are my current strivings and the "state" of my Christian walk these days.
