New Day

Good Morning! Welcome to my blog! Don't see the word blog and simply pass this along. This will not be just any ordinary blog. My plan is to share my favorite recipes, poems, stories, and studies as I go through this next chapter in my life. But first, I want to tell you a little about myself. My name is Carissa. I am 18 years old and am in the last three months of my high school career. This means I will be entering into college this summer, and yes, I am very nervous.
I have a passion for cooking and baking. I love to dance around the kitchen creating something beautiful and delicious and sharing it with the people around me. Baking takes time and time these days is very valuable. To spend a chunk of my day doing something for someone else makes me feel alive. I am currently making my own cookbook as well. If you are wondering what kind of a cook I am, think about this: I can't remember the last time I followed a recipe. In my opinion, recipes are suggestions.
A huge piece of who I am is my Savior Jesus. I became a Christian in 2010 at my Bible camp and have been in love with Him ever since. A huge piece of this blog is also going to be Jesus. He is not just a name people use in church, prayer, or before a swear word. Jesus is the three in one who created the whole earth and has reign over all of heaven and everything under it. He is the one who was there when the universe exploded into life and He is the one who was there when you were in your darkest moments. God is the reason for life.
Among my passion for cooking and God, I have a love for Chemistry, Biology, and just science in general. I love poetry, reading, and writing. I love crafting and creating. I enjoy exercising and being outside. I love people and talking to them and I love nature and all that it encompasses. I am a life enthusiast through and through. Many of these loves you will simply read about as I go from post to post.
One last thing before I leave you: My goal with this blog is to show the world a different side to life. This may include Jesus Christ, nature, silly little things, or seeing the brighter side of every moment. I hope your mind will be open to the beauty that is around us everyday. Life is so much more than cars, work, and sex. Life is a gift that should be enjoyed and cherished. I believe this with all my heart, as you will discover soon enough. But overall, I hope that through this blog your eyes will opened and will become Eyes That See. Until next time,

Carissa
