My Spiritual Journey

Born to a soft spoken Christian family with two loving parents.

In Mrs Finny's 1st grade sunday school class she asked if we wanted to live with Christ forever, if so she asked us to raise our hands, I did so.

I was one of the only girls in my Sunday School classes and thus HATED going. I eventually just stopped altogether

I changed schools due to the poor teaching staff at my old school. I lost many of the friends that I had. It was a challenge but one that I faced.

I met my best friend this year. We were both going through some very similar things. I am still not 100% sure if this relationship helped or hurt my relationship with Christ. I learned a lot about who God wasn't and what he didn't intend in my life though her, which are things that definitely still stick with me.

Once I got into high school there were a lot more girls in Youth group and I was invited by one of the girls at school and decided to go. Though the relationships I built with the Youth pastor and his wife I really began to see what a functional Christian life looked like.

I deiced to go on a missions trip to Jamaica where I felt Gods love for the first time in a real tangible way.

For real this time :)

This was the first time that God opened my eyes to the possibility of missions as more then just a hobby or something to do during my summer.

I began to work as a student leader with my youth group which meant that I mentored two freshman girls. Building up those two relationships, both very different, and watching them grow has been one of the best experiences of my life.
