Who am I?!

Well, I'll try to talk about who I am in a nutshell, rather than going on for pages and pages, in depth about myself.

I am Hannah, and I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I'm not religious at all, at least I try not to be. I pray that there would be absolutely no religious bone in my body, because religion implies routine and ritual, and there is nothing routine about my relationship with God except for the fact that I try to spend time with Him daily. I don't believe God can be contained within the boundaries of "religion," He's too big for that. I read the bible, I not only attend church, but am plugged in to the youth ministry, the college ministry, and the worship team.

I am a worshiper. I love exploring new ways to worship my God and I love talking to others about my experiences and discoveries, as well as hearing about their's.

I sing, play guitar, act, dance, write, and think. A lot. I contemplate everything, and second guess myself too much. Even in love, I second guess every move I make and really think about the other person's motives for the things they tell me and do for me. I wasn't that way before, but life happens and changes you. I've been changed, for the better, I think. I don't trust as easily as I did, but that's a good thing, because I was most definitely too trusting.

I'm extremely affectionate once I become comfortable with someone. I love to show my friends I care for them, but I shy away if I don't sense they want me around, because I second guess myself. I'm very playful, especially in relationships. The way I love is deep and purposeful, and very real, I go for it with all my heart, but usually my affection is playful and fun.

I'm shy, sometimes. I'm not shy other times. I would prefer you approach me, but I'll approach people as well. I want a best friend of the female gender. My best friend is a guy, and he's fantastic, but there's somethings you just can't talk to guys about, the way you can talk to girls.

I'm madly in love with Jesus Christ.
I'm currently reading Romans.
I'm excited about my new life at APU.
I LOVE cats, and dogs, and mostly all animals.
I have a stupid phobia of cows, which I still can't make sense of.
I write songs.
I love to laugh. I love people who make me laugh.
I try my hardest to be the same person on and off the worship platform, at home and at church, at school and in my room... I try my hardest to just be who I am, and hope I'm accepted.
I sometimes write long blogs.

I can really sense that you're excited to be here at APU and that makes me excited for you. I'm inspired by your passion for Jesus, and I can tell that combined with your ability for strong relationships, you will be an impact on the people you meet at this school.
