Quirks

It's so funny to me how I'll hear teenagers, psychologists, counselors, etc etc all talk about "finding yourself"...discovering who you are. Though there may be a certain amount of truth to that, I think perhaps we (only speaking for Christians at this point) spend too much time trying to get to know ourselves, that we don't spend enough time just getting to know our Lord. Perhaps there is a way we can do both...appreciate the way God has made us.

"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." -Genesis 1:27

"Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." -1 Corinthians 6:19-20

How amazing to be made in the image and for the joy of a Holy God.

With that, I decided to share some of the things that make me...
Uniquely me.

* My favorite M&Ms are the brown and green ones.

* One characteristic my father gave me was a love for bookstores--new or used (preferably used...character added to every page)

* My mother encouraged my love of music...piano is my 2nd voice.

* I'm 20 and I still don't like mushrooms.

* I like crab, but not shrimp.

* I enjoy the sophisticated and elegant but also the casual and laid-back.

* My favorite memories are with the Obera cousins at Noni and Papa's house or at Christmas cabins.

* I'm a fake artist...sketching on napkins or in journals, but never taking the time to learn how to do it well :)

* I get excited about making an excel spreadsheet.

* I crave two things (not simultaneously): milk chocolate and orange juice.

* When I meet people, I like to find out how they drink their coffee.

* I'm nearly convinced God intended all people to eat while sitting on the floor.

* The best summer Saturday would be: a picnic on the beach or buying fresh foods at the farmer's market and napping in the sunshine.

* Kite flying and archery are amazing.

* My heroes are my grandmothers, Ruth Bruckart, Beverley Obera and Marjorie Cohoon.

* I was born into a family whose history is covered in God's grace.



What makes you uniquely you?

Blessings, dear friends.
