Hello! I’m Alex - Here’s a quick profile…
I’m 21 and from Devon, England.
I’ve just graduated from a dance school and I’m currently working as an enabler in university for a friend with cerebral palsy, to assist her as she does her dance degree. I’m also a waitress in a Spanish tapas bar – I know, I’m not very convincing as a Spaniard, but I love the food!
This is copy and pasted off my facebook (epic fail on originality):
“I laugh a lot, you're probably not that funny! I like adventures and spontaneity and try to live for the moment. I think too much so I write lists... I want my life to count for some change in the world, even if it's only small.”
''When will you understand that being normal isn't necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage.''
My heart is to offer who I am and the tools I have to serve people who need to be loved. Since I was quite young I have had a strong sense of justice, a deep conviction to treat people with compassion (for “there but for the grace of God go I…”) and I have always felt a desire to love people who are unloved.
I’m far from perfect and have spent the last few years battling in my heart to know God for real, not for who my church education has told me he is. At times I’ve felt confused and maybe my behaviour and choices have been fairly off-key. However, I have met grace over and over in my life. We have no choice of what family we are born into, and mine was not the perfect start but the reason I wouldn’t change the bad times is because out of them, my mum’s relationship with God was born, meaning I know my existence is with purpose. I feel passionate about the people in the world who were born into circumstances that mean they do not have the knowledge that they were “fearfully and wonderfully made” and don’t know their worth.
For now, that’s all I know about myself!
At the moment I am on an impossible mission to find the funds for GCEX 2011, and an even more impossible mission for me is to find the faith for the funds, I told Stefan the name of my first blog would have to be “probably not going”……… But as all my male friends would say, I have to “man-up”!
