Hello all! I'm Kristine, and I am a Yankee who was raised in the South. About 8 years ago a new job for my dad moved me into the buckle of the Bible Belt, and for the first time in my life I could choose to be immersed in Christian culture no matter where I was or what I was doing. I found, for the first time ever, a Christian radio station, several as a matter of fact, and it wasn't even on AM! After living in central Florida and eastern Connecticut, South Carolina was foreign to me, but not in a bad way. I love it here, and I don't think I will ever want to leave!

As I live in a sort-of small (and boring) city, all my friends and I ever do together is go to movies (unless it's football season), so I'm becoming fairly movie-savvy. Other than that I like hanging out at church or at friends' houses. I LOVE to drive my car... anywhere or for any reason I can come up with. I sing, and I paint. And sometimes I like going to school (I attend Winthrop University in my spare time). I love pizza, ice cream and shaved ice from this little icee stand just up the road from me, but basicallly anything with cheese or salsa will win me over. I don't drink coffee unless it's french vanilla, and even then I prefer it to be cold and blendy.

I've never been far from the Christian community as my parents have made sure that I've gone to church all of my life. I was never opposed to faith, but as a child it didn't really mean much to me besides "Jesus loves me" and the little prayers my parents taught me to say. But as a high school freshman, I really felt God calling me to learn more about my faith besides the shallow understanding of the basics that I was familiar with. I picked up my Bible, changed a few things in my life that I knew were not the best qualities to have, and I got Confirmed that year. It's made all the difference to make God the focus of my life and not just one of the things that matters.
