what's in a name?

well since this is my first blog post, i thought i'd explain why my blog is entitled "faithful+lovestrong." and tell a little bit about myself. 


~faithful- any loyal & steadfast following~

• i am faithful in my loving GOD & His Son, Jesus. HE is my creator, & through JESUS i am forgiven. i believe in Them, therefore i am saved. 
• i have faith in my loved ones. my parents, my family, my fellow children of God, & my close friends. i know they will be here for me, always & forever.
• i have faith in the genuine goodness of humanity.
• i have faith in my ability to succeed in everything i do. as long as i've done my best, i consider that success.
• i am faithful that i will find my prince charming. i know i will find complete happiness one day. along with my faith in God & prayers, patience is the key.

~lovestrong~
i got this concept from one of my favorite singer/songwriters, christina perri. all of her songs speak to me in a different way. that is why i fell in love with music; its ability to make a connection with my heart & soul. 
as you can probably infer, lovestrong is the combination of love & strength. these are two of the most powerful attributes anyone can have, & i've learned that they are two of the most necessary weapons a person can have in order to make it through tough times. 
i've had my share of heartbreaks & heartaches. but strength has pulled me through them all. as hard as i may try to put up walls, love overcomes this stubbornness & whispers to me, "your true love will find you someday; just be patient..."


now that you know why i've picked this title, i'll fill you in on some details about me. 
i'm a 21 year old college student at arkansas tech university. i will graduate with my bachelors in social studies education with an english minor next fall. i am originally from midland, arkansas, and attended school (k-12) at hartford school district. i was a bookworm but was also involved in pretty much everything the school had to offer, primarily basketball. it was the first love of my life...& that love still remains true. 
i am an only child, & i am very close to my wonderful parents. 
i have many friends, but the two i consider to be more like sisters are miss danielle leigh & miss lindsey nicole. danielle has been my best friend since the very first day of kindergarten. we've had our ups & downs, but we will always be there for each other 100%. i met lindsey a few years ago. ironically we were talking to the same guy at once. ha. we've gotten really close here lately, & i know our friendship will continue to blossom. 
some other random facts about me:
i'm an arkansas razorback fan until i die.
shopping is my favorite. 
i love romantic comedies.
i love cars, anything sports, & good ol' classic rock music. 
one day i'll look like a tomboy, the next i'll look like a princess.
i don't care what people think of me...i'm always myself.
i love to be goofy.
i'm very in touch with my inner child. 


that's all until next time.
