About Me

Totally. Sold out. On Jesus. That's what I want to be. I want to be the kind of woman that when my feet hit the floor in the morning the devil goes, "Aw, man, she's up!" This is just a peek into my life as I strive to become totally abandoned to my Jesus, and learn a few things in life along the way.

Tanya Beth S
I'm a daughter and sis, nanny for two adorable little men, photographer, writer, dreamer, abolitionist, herbalist, fitness enthusiast, and orphan advocate, just to name a few things.

Random(or un-random) facts about me:

• I'm the oldest of five, and I don't consider that a large family.
• My favorite book is Radical: Taking Back Your Faith From the American Dream by David Platt.
• Both of the jobs I had, before my current job as a nanny, were in Mennonite stores, one very large and one very small.
• I want to go to India some day.
• I live in Missouri, and it's the farthest thing from misery I've ever known.
• I love taking pictures if I can get them to turn out how I want them to. 
• Some of my not-so-well known loves: Cafe au laite(With lots of sugar and syrup and other good things!), Jane Austen movies(never the books), Louis L'amour books(the cowgirl in me), and sandy beaches!
• My heart beat--an excerpt from the post"My Heart Spilled": 

"[So what will I do?] I will seek my Jesus. I will let Him shape me. I will let Him live through me. My life is no longer my own, I am bought with a price. Therefore, I will seek to glorify God with every breath that I take and to day by day walk in His will. I do not know what the future holds, although I have some ideas. I do know, however, that Jesus will show me each day what I should do. I will live in Jesus."
