who is she!?!?

Who AM I? [this blogger.]

I initially started this post to keep everyone I left back home updated, because I knew that once school started, It'd be hard to keep in contact with everyone :(. For those of you who know me, you know that I can write....alot. sometimes. However, more than anything, I really aim to encourage others in everything I do. So when I was asked to share my blog with the wiiserve community a couple days ago, I gladly gave my permission. I plan to keep this blog authentic so don't expect any alterations (don't worry...it'll still be good stuff).

For those of you who have NO idea who I am, or do not know me personally, I am currently taking a 15 minute break from my studies and I thought it'd be a great idea to tell you a bit about myself with the help of an online All About Me survey (c'mon you know you've done one before all you myspacers and facebookers...:)) and a visual.

Since I am on here, I'd like to share the following with you. So here is something to think about, taken from one of my prof's lectures: Speaking of James Marcia's 4-stages of psychological identity development. After explaining the second one "Identity Foreclosure" where an individual makes commitments hoever has no life crises to confront, he states, "the test of your strengths is to go through crises. Life with commitment and no crises = impaired development ".

Think on that...then check out James 1:2-6. God knew that already. =)
