Madi

Description of Self – Psalm 139:13-14 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 31God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

Okay, so I’m a female created in the image of God my Creator! I have sparkly blue eyes. I’m 5’2” roughly (awesomest height in the world!) I won’t tell you how much I weigh but someone in particular has given me the name “skinny friend”. :) I have naturally curly golden hair. I've done the whole braces thing (and much more on the teeth) and I wear contacts (unless I'm wearing glasses…then I don't wear contacts…. :P).

Background – I was born in Tacoma, WA at Saint Joseph’s hospital on September eighth, 1995. I have 1 big brother and 2 little sisters. We have an awesome time together! I was born to two parents who both love me very much and have been training me up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord since I was a baby. I became a Christian when I was four.
Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Ever since then I have been growing closer to my Amazing, Wonderful, Indescribable Savior and Lover of my soul! When I was eight, I asked to be baptized; but our church was in the process of building a new baptismal and they like to baptize in groups, so I had to wait. At nine, I moved to Port Orchard, WA where I became friends with lots of awesome people who love the Lord and encourage me to pursue Him! When I was ten, my family got a call from our previous church saying the baptismal was ready and they had a group ready to be baptized. I was able to be the 1st baptized in the new baptismal which was really special. Being baptized was one of the most awesome things I’ve ever felt. Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
When I was twelve, I became a member of Manchester Community Church.
I’m a homeschool graduate and a freshman in college!!
I can’t think of any other things so instead of turning this into a biography I’ll go onto the next thing. :)

Personality – Okay, here is a list of things I like: Playing the piano and singing! Kids and babies, reading my Bible and memorizing Scripture (Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.) Walking outside and enjoying God’s creation: sunsets, waterfalls, forests, rain (in proportion). Laughing, a good joke, and friends to laugh with. Getting muddy, dirty, and mashing food with my hands. Camouflage, good hard work, penguins, science and reading, football (go Seahawks!), driving, sewing, blogging, skiing, sticky-out-tongues, :P blue and purple!

I enjoyed reading your bio! :) Where do you blog at?

Thanks :) http://useyourgift4hisglory.blogspot.com/

Nice to get to know you a little better, Madi. Looking forward to seeing you next month!

Does it seem strange that none of that surprised me? You'll understand when we meet. The Strangs are a bit of a spy ring!

Anyway, I guess we'll see you next month! Looking forward to it!

That's kind of creepy. :P I'm looking forward to meeting you guys too! :)

Oh yeah…. we are totally a spy ring… when Jordan and I first found out about you and where you lived, we started collecting classified information from our outsourcers. :D

and I'm dead serious!

You guys r creepy. And I thought googling someone's church was bad…..

Yeah.. and I did that for her church!!! Actually, it was just because I was curious!

So… If we're kinda creepy, then why are you looking forward to meeting us? So you can be sure of our creepiness? J/K

WHAT?!?!?!? You guys!!…I knew I shouldn't have said where I lived. You don't even know my last name. What did you do for my church and why are you curious about me??????? face palm what have I got myself into………..

I was looking forward to meeting you because you looked like a nice Christian family that likes music. :) And I might do a little spying myself. :P jk

Oh don't worry… If you didn't say where you lived, we would have figured it out any way! J/K

Oh… and we go to the church of the people who work in registration for CH, so we CAN find your last name out! ;)

Okay, the church was just because we're always interested in other churches…. we've visited A LOT of them, so it's always interesting to see if we know someone at the church in question.

We're actually just kidding!!!!!!!!!

BTW: If you want to spy on us, go ahead! Here's a good place to start:

Wow…just wow. :P

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

shakes head no……no………

Are you in chorale?

Yep!!! I'm not one of those people who "won't sing!"

This'll be my third year! I LOVE doing it!

Oh boy….

I feel bad for u. Lol jk

lol…I think I'll be okay. Remember, I have a little defense of my own. ;)

Lol I have to say since this started I found all kinds of stuff.. Lol ;)

Sooooooo… I've got a question for you…

Were you in the 2011 choral? And if so, for the on stage rehearsal, did you stand by the tenors/basses?

Reason why is Bethany looked at your website and I happened to see a pic of you and I'm pretty sure I know exactly who you are! (Big Surprise, right?!?!) If the answer to the two above question is, "Yes" then I'm pretty sure you stood next to me during that rehearsal… (Kinda weird, Huh?)

What does that mean? Lol

No, last year was my first time back after 2009. lol…creepy, there must be someone who looks like me. :P

Oh, and I never sit next to the tenors and basses :P

@ Madi: I always sit in the very front row. (Because I like to be right in the middle of the action and my twin sister doesn't have to pull out her glasses to see the conducting signals!) Not intentionally I ended up sitting by a tenor that has a very high voice… so high it was weird when I realized he was singing my notes. :P

Lol

LOL…do you really have a twin sister or are you talking about a good friend? I have to sit next and in front of tenors at my church's choir so I try to stay far away when I have the room. :P

@ Madi: Ha ha! This is what my "twin" looks like:

Basically me with glasses on. She is really shy (unlike the extroverted me) so you rarely get to see her, but when there is ever a need for long distance viewing (typically driving), you just might catch a glimpse of her!

:D

Oh…I get it. :P

Why don't you just get contacts?

Okay…so now I'm curious. What pic on my website did you see that made you think you knew me?

You on a keyboard for the profile view… There must be someone that looks like you ;) And the person that was standing by me was "Painfully Short"! No offense, I'm sure! ;) J/K

@ Madi: Ha ha! :D
I rarely wear my glasses because they are just for long distance viewing. I really don't need contacts as they would be efficient. You might catch a glimpse of me in glasses at a conference to see the words, but I can't look at anything up close with them on so I really don't wear them much at all. Oh, and I don't look very good in glasses either. ;)

Like the keyboard keyboard…the electric one. (it was awful!!) with curly hair? yeah, that's kind of what I look like. None of the pics on there are a very good likeness of me.
Ahem … I shall try not to take offense. (But, have you ever considered that perhaps you are horribly disillusioned and we are the normal ones and you are painfully tall?) :P

Okay. :P I really like my contacts, but they're not for everybody. :)

Okay… So I checked the average height for USA people… and I'n two inches above average, and you're two inches below average.. so I guess we're equal!

Yeah, it was the keyboard keyboard… I know, I hate them too!!!

I guess I see now why people think I'm tall. I'm two inches above the average height for men:)

Ha…but I'm still older. :P I've been told I have the average shoe size for women too. (Which is really weird…people can't stop staring at my feet because they are so small. And I have webbed toes so when I have flip flops on it's really weird to them. But hey, I think their toes are weird so there! :)

Wow Elanee, you're really tall! :)

@ Madi: I bet you I have smaller feet than you!!! :D
What size do you wear?

::Abstains from saying anything about the size of his feet, (Why does it matter anyway???)::

@Madi: For the amount of times you say that you're older then me, it's starting to make me wonder if you're trying to reassure yourself that you actually are older!!! J/K

Nope. Lol she just makes sure you don't forget. ;)

I've got a good memory… why would I forget?

Even good memories are sometimes selective.

Exactly Danielle!

@Bethany: I just bought a 2.5 in childrens. :P I average 5.5 in womens though or 6…it depends on the shoe

My sister wears about that size in shoes!

Not me… I always remember the good, the bad, and the ugly!!! HAHa J/K

@ Madi: I wear size 5 or 6. I even have a pair of shoes that is a size 4.
:D
I have a feeling… we'll be good friends.

He's saying my age is good right? :P

"And God made Madi older than Jordan…and it was very good!" lol…sorry that is just the first thing that popped into my head. :P

Yes, Bethany! I have that feeling too! :)

btw Danielle…your picture is grossing me out…did I mention I can't stand cats?

@Madi: Wow! is that the Bible according to Madi???

I think this verse is more apropos… It's a direct quotation from Romans 9:12
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

Hmmm… Sounds pretty good to me!!! LOL!

I'm younger than both of you.
