Meet Kenya-Nicole

Her favorite Disney Princess is Sleeping Beauty. It's the little things in life that make her happy. She loves cold and foggy, rainy days. She loves staying home in her pjs all day, watching movies with her mom. She loves the way her cat sounds like a stampede of elephants when he runs down the hallway. Fun fact: Her cat is famous on Instagram! Follow Simba and his exotic adventures @thereallionking

If you were to follow her on Pinterest, you would find pages of her favorite things that quietly express who she is. You would learn that she is a history buff, who is totally in love with God's idea of marriage and family. You would learn that she dreams of being a missionary to China, has an adorable sense of style, and has a huge heart to encourage girls.

"How would you describe yourself?" I ask Kenya. "If someone just bumped into you on the street, what would you want them to know about you?"

Her response is:

"There are two parts to this one.

As for describing myself:

• I'm shy and kind of an introvert until I get to know someone.

•I'm very old fashioned in the way that I think and see things.

•I'm a dreamer and still a little girl at heart in some areas.

•I have a crazy sense of humor, that would be quite frightening to some.

But if someone just met me on the street, the one thing I would want them to know first and foremost: my passion and love for Jesus. He is my everything and the reason why I live!"

I ask her what it is that gets her out of bed in the morning. "What daily inspires and motivites you to move forward and press on toward your goals?"
