?Donde estoy?

Preguntas mucho...

Where am I? Who am I? At least one of those is a fairly relevant and common conundrums in society.


I am not my own, I was bought with a price, and I will not forsake that...for anything, considering the things I've been faced with in my 23 years for those who are aware can attest to that. I've walked through the shadow of death, stopped and stared it in the face, and by the grace of God alone, kept going. I am a firm believer that Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for the good of those are called according to His purpose" plays into every situation, good, bad, and in between, even the miniscule things we bypass and take for granted or ignore, it all has its role.

I'm 23. I "am a senior" in college. I am passionate in pursuing my doctorate. I am a music enthusiast, playing around with vox, bass and acoustic, though novice in all. I once intended to be a medical missionary in Iraq, Brazil and Cuba (pre-9/11 mind you).

I went to a 'magnet' high school (privatized education with public status to which acceptance was required and was not simply a given) majoring in health occupations, four years in a typical high school education, though mine was completed subsequent literally dropping out for almost two years, but still graduating on time, with honors, and an aviation major (yay! I know things about FAA guidelines and basic private pilot licensure!). Varsity soccer from Frosh year, captain of the economics team (beat that Chess nerds!), Web Team (school site) member, yearbook staff, BATS (Benson Auditorium Technical Staff) stage manager and crew member of 4 years, former library assistant, published writer, computer junkie (building, internet, tampering with software and languages), speaking of languages, 4 years invested in Spanish, 1 in Hebrew, 1/2 in French...

Attending OSU for three years...

I have been out for two, supposed return to Warner Pacific this fall...




Though now on hold...to complete my dual-bachelors. Greek mythology enthusiast, member of multiple Christian groups (namely, AG Chi Alpha OSU) and Students for Life (5k crosses represent a day of abortions at 5am is one example of our work. Minoring in chemistry, English and Spanish, I thought I had a good shot at medical school (first choice of OHSU, secondary Baylor) however I do see that as a diminishing chance, but still anticipate completing my formal education, though in reality, the day I stop learning, is the day I die...everything in life should be a lesson, and if it bypasses you, you fail.

5 years from graduation from high school (06/03/04) I am here...where is here?





I've been married


I've fled


I've separated


I've divorced




I am now the lone parent to the most beautiful child I have ever been graced to lay my eyes upon-my sweet angel of 18-months, Lucas Gabriel.




I'm a writer...God-willing, I write.

I'm torn

I'm sewn

I'm seeping

I'm glued together

I'm a sinner

I'm forgiven

I'm a friend to many though few I allow in I'm likely the most stubborn person (except for one specific man who rivals it) the earth has ever encountered

Counterbalanced by my complete outpouring of every ounce of love and compassion I have within me for almost anyone I encounter and anyone I can help and will stop at virtually nothing until my last breath to help people, or at least I like to think it's balanced...

I'm resilient, that much is for sure.
