Why the blog?

Hey there! So glad you're here! I pray this post encourages your joy.

 As you can probably tell, I'm new to this blogging thang. Bear with me as I explore this new world : )

My name is MickieJane, and I am a Christian female striving to walk the earth as Jesus did--in crazy love for EVERYONE, not just the people at my church. I am a dancer of almost 15 years now, and hope to step into a dance career within the next year or so. I am currently a Paleo dieter along with having an intolerance to gluten and dairy. I love anything crafty, nifty or green-preserving (both the vegetation and the paper), so look forward to some recipes and/or cent-saving ideas in the future blog roll.

I was home schooled grades 1-12... Yes, I have friends. No, I did not graduate early. Yes, I had more free time than public schoolers. No, I don't have a problem with going to public school, private school or any other type of school. No, I don't have plans to go to the moon, run for president or find the cure for cancer....yet ; D

Why the blog, you ask? This blog is very simply a place for me to post statements, ideas and/or phrases that encourage me. My hope is that it will both encourage others and will put me in contact with individuals who are willing to live in extreme love : )

Papa God, I pray for the person reading this. Daddy, life happens to everyone - we all have rough spots, and things we'd really rather not talk about. I know I do. Papa, I pray that you would give courage to everyone, and I pray that rather than getting people saved and loving with an agenda, teach us to love with a pure heart anyone and everyone we encounter...including ourselves.
I thank you for the gorgeous sunrise you painted just for me!
In Jesus name, Amen!

Thank you for taking a look!

Sending joy and peace,
MickieJane.
