And so it begins...

Well...I caved.

Having a blog seems like having a glorified version of LiveJournal, minus the fact that I can't (for example) insert an emoticon with a tortured facial expression and let my readers know that I'm listening to "River" by Joni Mitchell on repeat for no very good reason at all...but maybe that's for the best...

I don't know if there's an "about me" section on here since I literally created this about two minutes ago, so I'll just go ahead and give some background information and hope that by the next time I post I learn a thing or two about how to work this thing. OR if you are someone who knows how to do this and make it look a lil bit fancy, then stop reading this and come over and help a sister out. Except not right now 'cause I just worked out and I'm avoiding cleaning my room. So just check with me first.

ANYWAY. My name is Christina. Most of my friends call me Tina. People that don't know me well at all call me Christie, and sometimes I'm affectionately known as Tuna (don't ask, it makes no sense to me either.) I'm a 21 year old muffin of a young woman majoring in Theatre and aiming to graduate college in May. As of right now, the plan is to look for graduate school programs for Scenic Design and hopefully get accepted by one so that I can attend in the fall of 2013. But, as we all know, plans are never permanent (PRAISE THE LAMB) and lately God's been showing me that He's kind of got my whole life on lock and that I don't really need to worry about much. So that's pretty awesome.

Speaking of God, He pretty much plays a huge role in my life. I mean, HUGE. My testimony will be another post (it's kind of a long one,) but I am really hoping that this blog will sort of be my "QT w/ JC" journal. Does that mean I'll probably be pretty sappy and vulnerable on here? Absolutely! Part of opening up like this is accountability. I know that everyday I fall short of being the woman of God that I am called to be (whamp whamp waaah.) But that's why it's vital to be apart of a fellowship of believers, people who can lift me up in prayer when I'm struggling and run with me on this race to pursue Christ and serve His Kingdom.

Sometimes this blog may be a bit of a rant in case I see someone trying to wear UGGS in 65 degree weather (I mean really, at least let it get down to a brisk 50 degrees, and don't think that wearing UGGS without proper pants will somehow keep the entire bottom half of your body warm.) More often than not I'll probably be posting preciously random YouTube videos that I find while doing everything in my power to avoid homework (anything with otters and sloths is pretty much already guaranteed to be in a blogpost, and I'm not apologizing for it.) But at the end of the day, my true fulfillment, joy, and sustenance is in Christ and Christ alone...so that means that He's gonna sort of take the focus here.

Some of you are reading this right now and are thinking "I will literally never read another thing she has to say ever again," and that's perfectly fine. But if you decide to stick around for a bit, maybe you'll realize that some of the struggles you have are the same ones I face daily. Maybe some of the things that God will open my eyes and heart to in the near future are things that you'll be learning too.

I mean, I don't know, but...I think this could be a nice lil blog someday soon.
