Ignorant Historian

Hello all! This is the Kansas Girl’s roommate. I have the responsibility of blogging while she is gone for the weekend. As I contemplated what in the world to say, I thought of the above title: “A Tale of a North Carolina Girl.”So here it goes…
While I say that I am a “North Carolina Girl,” that is only partially true. I was born in Gainsville FL, moved to Rock Hill SC when I was 5, moved to Reidsville NC when I was 11, moved to Greensboro NC when I was 16, traveled a bit, moved to the Raleigh area when I was 26 and will move to a different part of the Raleigh area when I am 28. You might ask (or you might not) why I’ve moved so much. The short answer is that my dad has been a pastor for most of my life and is currently a Messianic Congregation leader…
Which brings me to why I am here, studying at seminary and rooming with the “Kansas Girl.” I was raised in a traditional Christian family and for the most part, simply accepted the theology and the traditions that went along with it. When God began to work in my dad’s heart, giving him a love for Israel and for the Jewish people, I began to question: What do I believe? Why do I believe what I believe? Are the beliefs and traditions I hold Biblical? Where, God, do you want me? So here I am and it’s a good place to be. I’m grateful… grateful for a patient God, grateful for being single and having the time to study, grateful for my parents who challenge me, grateful for the many people and books God has put in my life, and yes, grateful for my two wonderful roommates! :)
So that, my friends, is where I’ve been and where I am now… thanks for reading! :)
Until tomorrow,
The North Carolina Girl
