Hi everyone!

My name is Hibisca, and I was invited here by Amanda, though I do know a handful of others here in person too. I've actually spent the past week reading through all the old entries and comments and can now confidently reaffirm my original excitement about this blog community/ extended fireplace sleepover.

The basics on myself... I am in my first year of grad school at Georgia Tech, where I've thought and re-thought about whether I really want to be an engineer. (Other career options currently in the running include piano teacher, high school teacher, stay-at-home suburban mom, and third-world country missionary.) I am in a relationship with a guy named Shune, and we've been together for three and a half years. Our story has been one of redemption in many ways, one including his coming to know Christ about a year ago.

Reading through this blog this past week has already been a huge blessing; I feel like I've caught a glimpse of what Paul means when he says "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." I'm looking forward to the future of this community!

Welcome, welcome!

What a lovely choice of professions from which to choose. Mine include: adjunct college professor, librarian, mother and/or homemaker, author, missionary, and freelance writer/editor. Also I would consent to being the Queen of Books.
