about me

WHO AM I?





~ a wretched sinner saved by grace (1 Tim. 1:15). 
~ a twenty-year-old
~ an optimist.  Pollyanistic, to be exact.
~ 5'8.
~ a hater of cheese, bananas, and eggs.  Lover of pizza.
~ a lover of love.
~ a Bible memorizer.  I believe there's great power in having the Word right there in your mind, readily available for the times that you need it.
~ an ISFJ.
~ oldest of four girls: Rachel (my twin), Ellie, and Chloe.
~ daughter of a pastor. 

After two years at CNM, I am attending NMSU.  This year I'm a junior.  I'm pursuing a degree in special education with dual credit in elementary education, and a concentration in math.  I'd love to teach middle school math, but obviously I'm also open to teaching special ed at any age.

This semester (Spring 2014) I'm taking:
Calculus 1 + Lab
Integrating Technology with Teaching
Sci Fi/Fantasy English
Fundamentals of Elemenatary Mathematics III
Classroom Management for Diverse Learners
Introduction to Assessment of Diverse Exceptional Learners
(those last two are both special ed classes)

WHY I BLOG

From what I've observed, it seems like married bloggers and those with children are always going to have more followers.  I'm here to prove that wrong!

Haha, not.  I blog because I love blogging.  That's really all there is to it.  I love being able to share what's going on in my life with my friends and family.  I love sharing funny stories, what God's been doing in my life lately, etc.  I love talking about my turtle, Jonah, and what my classes are like and how I've been trying to cook more.

Why do I blog?  I blog to honor Christ.  Sometimes, when I get discouraged by low numbers of followers and page views, or I start thinking about how I can attract more people to this little corner of the web, I get distracted from what I created this blog to be in the first place--a way to document my life and to reach out to people in a way that honors that Lord.  This is my way of remembering what the Lord has done in my life.  Continuously, constantly faithful.

If you choose to pass on by, I understand!  But if you do decide to join me here at Press On to Know, I'd love it if you left a comment or sent me an email so you can make your presence known!  May God be glorified in all that is done here.


I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary and worn and sad;
 I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad.
-- Horatius Bonar
