In a struggling attempt to write fun facts about myself, I decided that I would first start with asking my closest friends and family what they thought about me. I just sent a simple text, “If you were to tell someone 3 ‘details’ about me, what would they be?” The responses I got were surprising and overwhelming, and it turned out to be a very rewarding experience. All of those thoughts of “am I enough” just go straight out the window when you get a glimpse into how others view you. I was especially struck by how much my love for Jesus is so apparent to those close to me. That is the main thing I want people to know but don’t always feel like I am doing a good job. So if you ask my friends and family who I am, this is what you’ll hear…
“Love Jesus Fervently”
“Overflowing Joy”
“headstrong”
“You’re passionate beyond measure about what you believe in. Not only in the Lord, but in anything else you believe in, and you have this amazing confidence to stand up for those beliefs”
“You are brave, braver than you think you are”
“You are absolutely beautiful, smart and musically talented, with a voice that still gives me goosebumps when I get to hear you.”
“You are a fighter”
“Outgoing”
“hardworking”
“Honest”
“approachable, easy to talk to, understanding, good listener, motivational”
“Loving and nurturing relationship with the lord”
“gifted musically”
“enjoys life and getting to know God’s creation.”
“Smart, witty, compassionate”
“As pretty on the inside as the outside”
“Empathetic and sassy”
“Sensitive, Smart, Empathetic”
“Cant eat sushi without a side of spicy mayo”
“golden retriever in human form”
“Music runs through your veins”
“champion of everything tropical, especially Pina coladas”
“Donut Appreciator”
“equal parts home and adventure”
“You love the lord and live your life for Jesus, and you’re not afraid to let that show”
“You’re a free spirit. You like making your own path, being creative and not being put in a box”
“You’re a hard worker. I don’t think you’ve ever gone more than a month without some kind of job. You constantly do things for others and work hard to make them feel loved and appreciated”
“She goes above and beyond for everyone in her life”
“She still enjoys Easter egg hunts hosted by our grandparents”
“Family over everything”
Everything about these make me smile not only because of their accuracy (shoutout to the spicy mayo with my sushi!) but also because it shows me how well my loved ones really know and understand me. Now if you were to ask me about me, you might also hear a few of these things..
