Must haves…my Bible, my journal, my camera, and my macbook
Favorite things to do. . .worshipping and spending time with the Lord, reading my bible, serving in any way, going to class at
Veritas Press (I have the most amazing teachers and friends…), taking pictures of anything, playing or watching football, laughing, smiling, family dinners and movies, dancing, singing off key, reading a good book on a rainy afternoon
Worst Habit. . . not putting my clothes away after I wear them.
What you are a “snob” about. . .pens. I don’t like to write with pens I don’t like. My current fave is the very cheap BIC Cristal pen.
I am named Madison because. . .in 1994 it was the 2,574th most popular name. Now it is the 3rd most popular.
My blog is named “Sweet Tea {Jesus} and Me” because. . .when I started the blog I was a huge southern sweet tea fan. I still am.
My photography business is named “MNM Photography” because. . .those are my initials. And I think they are kind of cute.
Maddie is a teenage girl living against and above the cultural norm. She has a heart for her generation, and hates to watch her peers throw away their hearts, their minds, their bodies, and their lives to the lukewarm standards the society holds. With God as her lead, she wants to encourage everyone to enter into a relationship with God, through prayer and the Bible, and conform theirlives around His perfect love and will.
Besides Sweet Tea {Jesus} and Me, where she blogs about her own spiritual journey, Bible studies, devotions, media reviews, and more, Maddie has written for a number of other online ministries. She was involved in writing for At The Well, where she helped start up a new writing column called Training in Truth for young women. Maddie also helped with the first issue of Exemplify 2:21 Magazine. Maddie also loves to support other blogs and writes guest posts for whoever asks.

+Romans 12:1-2 (guest post on Bliss)
1. I hate to eat anything on a bone. Don’t try and serve me wings or ribs. Seriously, don’t.
2. I am the pickiest eater in my family, though I hate to admit it. I just don’t like lasagna, nuts, cottage cheese, or a variety of vegetables. . .
3. I’m cultivating the ability to recognize the Lord’s voice and cultivate His presence. And it has been the most amazing thing…
(thanks to my pastor!)
4. I have an obsession with Christmas music. I absolutely love it – all year round! Carol of the bells anyone?
5. I adore football. Only sport I watch. Well, I will occasionally turn on basketball. And gymnastics. I have a secret dream to be a gymnast someday (yeah right…)
6. I have a love/hate relationship with the movie Inception. I hate when I can’t figure it out. I adore it the rest of the time.
7. I sing, very loudly, in the shower. Once, my sister said that my mother, from the downstairs asked her what that noise was, only to find out it was me, a whole story above her, singing in the shower.
8. I couldn’t get past book 1 of LOTR until I saw the movie. Then I read all the books and watched all the movies, several times. Go figure. Must have been Viggo Mortensen…
9. I can’t kill spiders. Might as well be a grizzly bear. I have chills just thinking about them.
10. I want to go to India. Someday. And share the Gospel.
