    About Me

    I am a Christian and although I am bipolar I trust in the Lord to guide and protect me. I am filled with a sense of gratitude for all the Lord has done in my life. I look forward to being a good and sincere friend to all those I meet here. We are all seeking the beauty of our dreams, may we find some answers here.

    Interests

    My number one passion is reading. My best friend is often the current book I am reading. I enjoy sports, movies, and concerts also. I enjoy life and all of God's creation.
