I have 9 other
brothers and sisters and we’ve home schooled since day one. My family –
especially my 19 year old brother, 17 year old sister, and almost 16 year older
sister are my best friends. I love being with them, and out of anyone I know, if
I could spend a weekend doing anything I wanted to, it would be with them. I
love adventure. Tell me to do something and chances are I’ll be up to it. I go
with the flow – kind of required thing when you come from a family of 12. ha ha.
I love camping and sleeping under the stars.. I think God’s Nature is the
greatest gift He gave to us. (besides His Son of course. lol.) There is nothing
like the bare, raw, wild, untamed land. We operate mostly in what MAN makes –
the earth is what GOD made. Let’s see…In my past time, I play the piano
mostly, but I love music in general. I love random instruments. I also love
soccer. I’ve played piano and soccer since I was 5. I like to spend time with
the elderly and mentally/physically handicapped. I know they have a lot to
offer, and a lot to teach us, and when we pour out to them it’s so true that
they and God pour back to us in abundance. I love food….not going to lie. Food
has the ability to take you to different worlds and experience a dream-like
sensation. God gave us taste buds for a reason! ha ha. Now maybe we won’t be
wishing we had these taste buds at times on this Amazon adventure.. and maybe
the different “worlds” we’ll visit as we taste the food will be….interesting?
To say the least? But other worlds none the less. ha. I love people. I can get
along with most everybody. I love helping people, but don’t do near as much as I
should in that area. The thing I’m most excited about in my future, is living
with people, coming alongside of them in their every day tasks, trials, joys,
pain, and be their friend. St. Francis of Assisi said, “Always preach the
gospel; and when necessary, use words.”
