Who am I?

Hello! Welcome to my blitherings. 

You might already know who I am, or maybe you're a stranger. Either way, sit back, relax, and soak it in. Maybe grab some tea.

My name is Katie. I was baptized on January 12, 1992. I'm in my early twenties and I'm a senior in college. I'm studying geography for no apparent reason (seriously, I don't know why). I love raspberries, animals, quiet time, silent nights, navy blue, chocolate, nuns, babies, pregnancy, and most people. Jesus is the only way I survive life. Without God, I would have given up a long time ago. Maybe that makes me weak, I don't know. All I know is that I just can't thank Him enough for loving me and forgiving me and giving His mercy to me. 

I have a dog living with me and my four roommates. Her name is Rorey and she is a white German Shepherd. She is not albino, although 70% of folks who meet her assure me that she must be. She's just white, and awesome. She loves squirrels, but don't say that word in her hearing or else she goes nuts. (It's actually hilarious and I'll demonstrate if you ask nicely).

Speaking of my roommates...boy, do they challenge me. (Note to self: your roommates read this. Don't elaborate too much). They bring so much joy into my life, and so much testing. Jesus has plans for us to live and grow together, but I need some help for sure. I whole-heartedly admit that I'm not an easy person to live with. I'm an INFP type, for starters. I don't open up easily, I don't share my emotions readily, I "can seem shy, even distant around others," and I have an aversion to doing the dishes. My room is almost always messy, except when my beloved roommates dedicate nearly an entire Saturday to help me clean it as a birthday gift to me. Deo Gratias! 

Right now I'm working three part-time jobs but I might be quitting one soon. I also volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center in the free time I don't have. This is one of the best decisions I've made my entire life. God is so close to these frightened women, and for some reason he thinks it's a good idea to use me to speak to them in their despair. Fiat mihi, Domine. Please pray for "S," "J," and "C" and their unborn lovelies if you have a moment to spare. "Hail Mary, full of grace..."

I'm brand new to the blogosphere, so let's learn this thing together!
