About Me

Does my schedule, my time, my life look like that of a person who wants to hear God's voice?-Rob Bell. I have to answer no to that question but I am learning to make sure that I am giving myself the opportunity to hear God's voice. That's who I am and what I am all about. I am learning to put God first and all other things behind it but it's a struggle. I get distracted with sports and friends and all the other noise that this world offers me, but every once in a while I get it right and am able to put God where He is supposed to be. I love kids, whether it be 2nd and 3rd graders or high schoolers, I feel that God has given me a love for kids and I am using that for Him. I am interning at Sun Grove Community Church in Elk Grove, CA with the Senior High and absolutely love it. I have connected with so many of the kids and look forward to connecting with the ones I haven't gotten to know to well yet. I will be a junior at Hope International University in the fall which is exciting and a shock all at the same time. I have a passion for sports. I think they have helped me get to where I am at right now and I thank God for that. So as a result I follow most sports but am a huge Angels and Ducks fan. I have also been brought up loving USC so that passion exists as well. I am learning and growing from all the mistakes I have made and trying to get to where God wants me to be. It's a never ending fight, but in the end, I just want to do the best I can. MyGen Profile Generator Myspace Contact Tables

Wrestling with God

Have you ever had a night where you just laid in bed and just questioned God?  You question why things are the way they are, you ask questions that almost seem too taboo to ask the Almighty? ...

You are never closer to God...

A good friend of mine once told me that you are never closer to God than when you are in Yosemite.  When he first said that I kind of laughed but now I agree with him 100%.  I just spent 3 d...
