I've just been meandering around and visiting different places and noticed this on a few blogs so I figured it wouldn't hurt to put up a little blurb about myself:o) I actually started blogging as a result of wanting to comment on a friend's blog, and I've been doing it ever since! I don't think I've ever done an "about me" post, so now is just as good of time as any!
Let's see, I'm a 24-year-old single Christian girl who just celebrated being saved for 9 years! My life revolves around God thankfully. Many times my family wonders at the time I spend at church or doing things related to church, but I think that that's just a natural result of wanting to draw closer to God and be around those who want to follow Him too!
From kindergarten until 8th grade I was in public school, but for my high school career, my parents put me in a Christian school and I'm so glad they did! I graduated in June 2001, and started up with Bible Institute in the fall:o). I worked at the local grocery store for 2 years before calling it quits (as a result of the rock music being played over the speakers) and was jobless for a month before I was asked to work in the church office. I've been doing that ever since, plus working in the very school from which I graduated:o). Most people hate their job, but I find mine very pleasurable and fun. The only thing I miss being able to do is witness to my co-workers:o).
I'm constantly taking trips here or there, and have a strong bent towards mission trips. The next trip God has opened for me will be to Thailand during this summer. He has been most faithful in providing in various ways for this trip, including an unexpected babysitting job tonight!
When I do have spare time, I enjoy taking walks, reading, and scrap booking. I managed to do two of those three things today, as this was a nice day without any major plans (which is quite a feat, let me tell you!).
So there you have it, in a nutshell. Or, maybe I should say in a blog post! I enjoy life so much since it has been given to me by the Creator of Life... each day is a new opportunity to take time to count your blessings and praise the Lord!

It sounds like that trip to Thailand is going to be quite an adventure! I'll have to bookmark your blog and return to read all about it! Enjoy!
I'm so with you on enjoying walks and reading...haven't gotten into scrap booking yet--however, I should as I have tubs and tubs (the plastic kind from Target) filled with photos of our children growing up! Need to gt those organized! Maybe in retirement!
Happy partying!

I love the Czech Republic. I've been to Prague three times and have another trip coming up in May!

hello! I hopped over from Rachel Marie's site. I read in your profile that you like Steve Pettit's music. A friend just recently introduced me to his music. I ABSOLUTELY love it! In fact its whats playing as background music on my blog!
Anyways, just thought I'd drop a note and say "hi"! I've enjoyed reading your blog. May you continue drawing closer to God, and as you celebrate 9 years of living for Him, may I say/sing, "and MANY more!!!"
Nice to meet you! I'm single, 32, and have gone on mission trips as well, and loved them!
Hi Anne!
So nice to meet you. That was so encouraging to know you are the youngest of five - and what a beautiful, mature young woman you are. Our youngest is truly the icing on our family cake - sweet sweet sweet! I hope to get to know you more - you can give me pointers on how to be a better mom to our crew!
