About Me: The Blog Begins!
Hello! My name is Tori, and I am 20 years old and live in Michigan. I have 2 wonderful parents, an older sister named, Rita, who is 26 years old and is married to her 27 year old husband, Dan. I also have a younger brother named, Adam, who is 17 years old. Quite the age gap huh? Lets just say spacing between kids didn't really go as my mom planned, but it's all good! We love each other just the same and are, actually, quite close! My family is my everything! They mean the world to me!
The other really important thing in my life, is my faith! I trust God in everything I do, even though it is not always easy. But I do my best and am still learning what my faith in God truly is, and am still growing in my faith. And that is going to be the biggest thing this blog is about, my faith journey and my life journey.
Other things about me: I like read, write, act, and sing. I also have a real passion for kids and enjoy babysitting and working with kids in any other way I can. Because I have a passion for kids, I do want to be a mom someday. Either give birth to kids of my own, or adopt kids. I also love the beach and spending as much time at the beach as I can, during any time of the year, though I enjoy it the best in the summer so I can go swimming. I am a water rat and LOVE the water and love to swim. I also really like going for walks anywhere, but especially in trails in a woods or forest! God's creation is just so beautiful to enjoy.
I also am a pretty outgoing person, though you wouldn't think that upon first meeting me. I do tend to by kind of shy at first, but as soon as I warm up to you, I am quite talkative and outgoing. I love be around other people and work with other people and interact with them and develop relationships with them. I love to have fun and be silly. I will party it up with the best of them, and not in the sense I am sure you are thinking. I do NOT drink or do drugs or smoke or any of those disgusting, filthy habits. By party, I mean I enjoy dancing to music and playing games with the people I am partying with! I, basically, enjoy socializing, especially with the people I love and care about! I also am a caring person, and love to help people with anything they need. I am also always there to talk to if you are going through something tough.
Some other things to know about me, that maybe are not as nice. I struggle with my weight. I have been overweight for most of my life, and my weight is a huge struggle. I have had times where I have lost a ton of weight, but then gained it all back. I don't even know what I weigh now, but I am sure it is not pretty. I do desire to get rid of the weight, and I do hope to, someday. But it is one of those things that will always be hard for me. Also, my mom is battling Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer, and it is tough, really tough. I don't wish for anyone to go through it or have a loved one go through it, because it sucks, end of story. But again, I am trying my best to rely on God to get us through it. Something else, I am struggling right now. With everything with my mom, plus the fact I am trying to get a job and support myself more. And it is hard, and most days I feel like a failure and a disappointment. I am in a rut that I trying so desperately to get out of. Again, trying to rely on God to get through it.
Now, I want to end this first post by saying, that I am far from perfect. I struggle, I fail, I do dumb things, just like every other human being in existence. I try hard to be perfect, but I'm just not. So join me in my not perfect life, and follow me as I grow as a person, and in my walk with God. Because I am still growing and learning about life and God, every single day, also just like any other human being. I am not saying my life is special from anyone else's, because it's not, I am just being open about my life and my journey and hoping to get advice, learn some things, and maybe even inspire other people. I feel God pulling me to start this blog, so I am, and I hope you enjoy. Thank-you so much and God bless! Enjoy the ride! :)
