about me
“Not all who wander are lost” comes from one of my favorite quotes by Tolkien. I like it because a lot of times I feel like that quote describes me and my life. I feel like I am often wandering, exploring, observing, experimenting, trying new things, and enjoying the journey. And I’m still trying to learn to let God lead me. I have realized that I don’t have the map, He does. But sometimes I still think God lets me wander – and I know I’m not lost.
I have just started an exciting new part of my journey – and for the first time I’m traveling with someone. I recently got married to a wonderful man and we moved to a little town in North Carolina for his new job. I am learning my way around the town and learning how to be a good wife. I am working at a local establishment and have fun hearing stories and getting to know all the characters who visit us. I am gettng back into making more art and having fun decorating our home. I’m loving Sonic and sweet iced tea that I get all the time down here. I still talk too fast and overuse the word random. Anything else you’d like to know, please feel free to ask! - Abi
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
–J.R.R Tolkein, “Lord of the Rings“
