growth.

after a few months of break (or as i'd like to call it: being lazy) and not posting on any of my blogs, ive decided that i might like coming back. so, let me introduce myself.

this is me:

   Paola.

further explanation and pronunciation key:

my name is derived from italy (no i am not italian.. or related to ANYONE from the cast of jersey shore) and means small and humble one-- which i guess, i can take that. i am pretty short.

to those whose cat got their tongue, my name is pronounced puh-ola. for ones who still find that hard, most people just pronounce it pole-ah. because pronouncing my name is basically equivalent to reading arabic or something....

 (thats my lame humor, please laugh.)

ANYWAYS//

since we are all just internet acquaintances, i would like to tell you a bit about myself.

im 15. i live in a place called FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA... you probably haven't of it, if you are a distant reader..

i love fashion. music. singing. poetry. and i dislike homework, but come on, who doesn't? 

oh! i almost forgot::

I love jesus! he is my lord and savior, my anchor and my hearts desire. if you don't know this god of ours, you probably will if you continue to read this blog.-- and i deeply encourage you to take that chance :)

this summer, god turned my world up. side. down.

he ricked me beyond my imagination.

//sidenote: rick- replaces the word rock in certain situations. (i.e. "i got totally ricked!" "this is ricking me right now" "this is just like.... rick bunnies") other times it replaces the word fail. such as: "riiiiiiiickkkkkkkkkkkk.' [some of those may or may not have been direct quotes from my brother in law.]

so, this summer, jesus decided it was time for me to change, and i mean the good kind of change! the kind of change that makes you jump up and down with excitement!

i can now say to people, i am not that person anymore.

which, in fact, makes me feel great. 

this new person that i am growing into, learned what it sacrificial promises meant. she learned how to fall deeper and deeper in love with our dad! so in love, that even thinking about how increasing the amount of time i spend with jesus everyday and how it drastically changed my life, brings joyful and sweet tears to my eyes! 

so, that was a summarized, blogged version of me.. 

stick around and i guarantee, you will learn more!

have sweet and peaceful dreams, readers! x
