And very beautiful, too.
Incidentally, I have to echo the reaction of many here: I likewise thought you were a dude (but I figured 'young', like early twenties). Not that it matters to me one way or the other what your gender is; "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female—for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" (Gal 3:28).

Good for you, hon. I praise God for blessing you with such a strong faith. Persevere unto the end!

Nope (e.g., chatpilot).
Thank you Ryft. I appreciate the compliment and I am pushing forward so that my life can reflect my love for God. It's not uncommon for people to assume I'm male, there's something about my "internet voice" that makes me more masculine sounding. Actually, my personal voice is sort of calming and deep but still womanly. I'm 26 and will be 27 in November.
