Who am I?

Thu, 21 May 2009 02:20:37 GMT

We are defined by many things in our lives. We are defined by the family that we are born into, by the people that raise us. We are defined by the experience we gain in life, by the friends we surround ourselves with. We are defined by our beliefs, our schooling, our character and personality. Sometimes, we even let other people define us by the way they treat us or the things they call us. Sometimes we let society dictate who we are and what we will become. Sometimes we find ourselves lost in the miry pits of another person's expectations. Sometimes we stay there forever.

So who am I? What is my purpose? Why am I really alive?

My name is Shanella. I've always been told it was made up, however, there are other Shanellas in the world, though we are few.

I am a woman. I wanted to write girl there but I do not fit that description anymore because that phase in my life is past. I am a twenty something year old. I am a Christian. Some call me radical, some call me conservative, I just try to follow Christ as closely as I can.

I am fluent in English. I know phrases in three other languages and got by on zero Italian and just a phrase book for a week. I want to learn other languages fluently.

I was a student of science. I was a student of computer science. I love finding out how things work, yet most times I forget.

I like to write. I love to read.

I am loyal.

I like a challenge. I love feeling wanted.

I love music. I play a guitar - though not well. I love singing. I enjoy making videos of random things that my head processes.

I am a daughter of a pastor. I have a large family.

I lived in two countries. I live in one state. I am bad at keeping in touch, yet I love my friends.

Chocolate is my weakness. I love Japanese cuisine. I am open to trying new things.

I love adventure. Snowboarding is a new pastime of mine. I'm not sporty. I'm not girly.

PC and Mac.

Packrat.

When I meet people I like I want to know everything there is to know about them.

I am shy at times. I am silly at times. I randomly break out in song and dance. I live in my own world a lot.

I am a worship leader.

I can sit in the park and read all day long.

I am me.

I am back! Well, kind of! There is just so much to reflect on from this trip that I need a break from my break. I'm hoping by next week I'll be a bit more active on here again.
ta for now!

Dear God

Your daughter,
Shanella

going to Asia

I'm planning a trip to Asia soon. This month I will most definitely be off of Revelife again. That's two months in a row... Hopefully April will bring better things.

true worshipers

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

How they see it ...

I saw this video on my friend feed on Facebook today. It's quite amazing how people who are not Christians view God ...

I wonder how someone who says they don't believe in God can actually try to understand something they don't believe in on their own strength.

The fool says in his heart that there is no God.

Joy.

weeping may endure for the night
but joy comes in the morning.
