My name is Kristen Arnold, and I am totally in love with the One who created me! I am currently in my second year of college at Bowie State University in Maryland. I am studying Elementary Education because I love teaching and I love children- really I just love all people. I am quite the people person! I attend Grace Baptist Church that is a few blocks away from my home, and I am unspeakably blessed to have the church family that I do. Though our church is rather big, so many people there have true, genuine relationships with the Lord and it is refreshing to see.
I am a middle school leader in our youth program at Grace and I absolutely love them! One thing about me is that I love! I love without limits and I show that love in various ways, which takes some people by surprise. I love to laugh and smile and show the joy that is available only through Jesus Christ! I am the type of person who is always on the go and I rarely take time to be still with the Lord… which is something He is teaching me to do every day! Beholding His beauty and being in His presence is all that I long for. I desire to love people- all people.
I have been told, and I must agree, that I have a dominating and “leader” personality. I am task-oriented and an idealist. I think of how things should be and expect them to be, work at it to get it as close to ideal as possible, and then sometimes get let down. (Another area in which God is teaching me.) Though I am a “leader” and “dominating”, I live my life by loving. I don’t think logically all of the time- my heart just seems to take over. Even when my head knows something is good and logical, my heart takes a little while to catch up- especially when it comes to big changes.
I have a very close-knit family that I love very much and am blessed to have. They are such huge gifts from God and I must admit, I take them for granted way too much. I am blessed- beyond what I deserve, and I am eternally grateful.
