Ok... what do you think the purposes(s) are for taking senior pics? It's a lot of pics of just one person...

Um, well they're graduation pictures, so people usually get them taken of themselves to remember that special event in their life. Just like wedding pictures, baby pictures, etc...?;)

An update on FNOF?

I sent out a package of supplies to the A21 shelter in Greece two days ago! And I'm getting another package ready today:)

Ok I didn't mean to put emphasis on the clothing just the idea of taking tons of pictures of solely one person. Like... Is that too self-focused?

It depends on the purpose(s).

Do you ask yourself questions on this? I think you do...

hahahahaha No I don't!!! XD Why do you think that??

How would you convince someone who is not a Christian to not abort?

I would try to show them that regardless of believing that a child was created in her by God, he/she is still a living BEING.

What do you like best about your older brother?

Gosh, it's hard to pick just ONE thing I love about him. He's an all around amazing and incredible guy. He's my big bro, as well as my best friend. He's patient, attentive, kind, honest, gentle, funny. I love him to death. <3

Do you still have the same respect for people that do not follow Christianity/God?

I try to respect everyone...regardless of their beliefs or views on certain topics. Part of being a Christian is showing Christ-like love. Not just to fellow believers, but to unbelievers as well!:)

why don't you ever tell us if your stories are real? if they aren't, I think it's kinda silly and weird of you to think about and write about that stuff all the time. do you just want us all to think guys confess their dying love for you all the time? you're so vain and silly. wow. people like you..

not all of them are real

So what is your view on photoshoots then? Such as senior shoots where girls pose in different ways with different outfits. dont you think that's like saying "look at me, look at how pretty i am!"? I'm just trying to figure out what I think about it and would appreciate your opinion.

I don't see anything wrong with senior girls posing in different outfits. That's not necessary calling attention to themselves, as if saying 'look how pretty I am!' There could be lots of different reasons. Change of lighting, change of scenery, different poses look better with different style clothing sometimes too.

Which books did you love as a child?

I loved books by Matthew Grimsdale, and Sandra Boyntonand...also The White Pony (idk who that's by...)

Have you ever broken your arm/leg/something else?

Nope!! I've popped my left thumb out of joint (but it popped back in by itself) and whacked my back out twice - so bad that I had to lay in bed for two days:( But never broken or fractured anything!

What are you going to do today? (I hope it will be an awesome day!) :)

driving to town, getting the mail, working on filling out job applications, calling my bestie, working on my book:)

Is "For What it's Worth" a true story? Has it happened to you or someone you know? I'm really curious. :)

Kind of... ;)

What are the top 5 people, that are famous, that you'd like to spend a day with?

my boy: Capital Kings, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hunter Hayes, Britt Nicole, Tom Hiddleston.

Your favorite outfit?

anything comfortable:P haha I love sweat pants and a tanktop. But I also like jeans/shorts and a cute tshirt. BUT...I also like dressing up sometimes: dresses, skirts, blouses, etc.

Which books are you currently reading? (Congrats to OVER 500 question and answers! That is so awesome.)

Thank you so much!!:) I'm currently not reading anything besides my daily devotions/Bible...

What did you do for mother's day?

our whole family went out to breakfast...it's what my Mama wanted to do:)

Kinda random... but do you like magicians shows? ^^ (I'm going to see one on Friday. Yeay! :))

I've only seen a few (none live, though) and yeah, I think they're really neat!
Have fun!

Do you still try to learn Japanese?

Yes, but I don't have a teacher anymore so it's kind of hold for me at the moment:(

Do you think there's a fine line when being in a photo shoot between just enjoying taking pictures with friends and becoming vain and too absorbed with how you look? How do you keep that balance?

It's a balance that God has helped me keep. I think every girl should have a certain amount of self-confidence in her looks. I think I'm pretty, but God holds me to just that. I have never been vain about my looks. I let others compliment me. And honestly, I give the credit to God and my parents. They make cute babies;)
Modeling has taught me a lot about that 'fine line'. And just because I'm the model doesn't mean I'll like the way all the pictures turn out. Some of the photos the photographer chooses as their favorites are totally not my favorites. But I don't really have a say in that. And I think THAT is one area that God keeps me humble. haha

What is a crazy dream you've had?

The craziest and coolest one I've had is one that I dreamt I was in the Hunger Games...and...it was just plain epic.

I lost a friend a few years ago to a falling out. I tried to make things right by asking her to meet with me and a mediator, (b/c I didn't know what I did wrong!) but she never told me and instead cut me off for good. I've prayed about it over the years but I still get upset... advice?

If you've done all you could to remedy your friendship and SHE isn't making any effort to build it back up, I would say to just let it go. Move on. She obviously doesn't care to work at keeping your friendship, so she's not worth your time. Don't shun her, don't stop loving her. But don't get upset over something that you have no control over. She made her choice of losing your friendship. Friendship is a two way street. YOU can't hold it together by yourself.

It seems like guys hardly like me :P. I've only known 1 guy that's liked me in the past 7 years. I know I am beautiful because God loves me and created me, but I wonder why no guys ever like me and what I could be possibly doing wrong. Help???

Just because you haven't had multiple guys like you doesn't mean you're 'doing anything wrong'. I never knew there was a way to get guys to like you anyway. At least, not godly, Christian guys. Yes, God created you just the way you are and He loves you so, so much. Hold onto Him and trust that He will bring the right man along in His perfect timing. Stay strong, hun! True men are attracted to a woman who is focused on what God thinks of her, not what they think of her.
