In case you don't know me (well), this is a handy guide to who I think or have been told that I am. Conveniently phrased in a list, as an answer to the following:
How do you finish a sentence that starts, "Maleah is ..."?
a Jesus-follower, great with small children, a desperate human being, ultimately hopeful, in love with finding small, good things, an encourager of spontaneity, positively boisterous, grammatically articulate, a theologian-in-training, an avid reader, fabulously stylish, a Western Carolina University graduate (as of May 2008), a philosopher-in-training, not a great fisher, an ordinary radical, a mean game of badminton, a big fan of laughing at yourself, not afraid to try and fail, a cold glass of sweet tea, an amateur boutique baker, a meticulous housecleaner, happiest in sunny weather, a very loud singer, well cared for by some very good people, the kind of girl who comes with a warning label, young at heart, an old soul, a former office assistant, the coolest camp counselor ever, a Bible study leader who is comfortable talking about sex and grace with the same breath, flibber-ti-jibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown, a particularly entertaining hostess, a world-traveler, dependent on God's provision, completely captivated by and heartbroken for people who think they are too smart for God, an encourager, at home in the mountains, unabashedly thankful, quite contented with how all things work together for good.
(Points for finding the Sound of Music reference.)
