Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Except when I was little it sounded more like "erf". God created everything around us and each one of us. He made the "erf" and everything on it, isn't that amazing?!?! He has a plan for each one of us and made us according to His wonderful design. I'd like to think that everyone's lives are connected somehow. For example, let's say one day I decided to randomly go to a bakery and order the last maple bar. Well, let's say that every day you went to the same bakery and ordered a maple bar, but couldn't because I took the last one. I have touched your life through a maple bar. It's simple but in my mind I think it counts. In my head, each person is a puzzle piece in God's stunning masterpiece that is life. So, I guess this is the part where I tell you a bit about my little puzzle piece and the puzzle pieces around me that are my family and so forth.

• To start, I am a senior high school. I have done track since my freshman year, along with high school cheer. I followed in my siblings footsteps and decided, begrudgingly at first I'll admit, to join the cross country team, but now it's one of my favorite sports. The girls are one of the sole reason I run, they are my sisters, all 50 of us.
• As far as friends go, I have plenty who I love. Some of my closest friends are part of what we call "the squad". No matter what we do, I'd like to think we have a good time. Another group who will always have my heart are my Campaigners girls. They've seen me at my highs and lows. I love my friends very much and I'm excited to see where God takes them.
• Finally, my family is crazy and I love it. We're all quirky in our own ways and it's what makes us unique. I have 5 siblings, but I'll admit I'm the closest with my brother and "step" sister. I don't like the word "step" that much as Kaleigh is more of a true sister to me. I also have a dog and a cat named Lucy and Lileigh, respectively. I am very thankful to have such an extraordinary, fun, blended, and blessed family.

Well, that's about all I can really think of right now! Feel free to get a hold of me if you have questions or want to talk! Thank you for support as I go forward with this adventure! I'm excited to see where God takes me on this trip, what he shows me, and what I learn! God bless you all!

Much love,

Harlie
