About Me

"I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Chrst lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up for me." Galations 2:20

"No joy on earth is equal to the bliss of being all taken up with love to Christ. If I had my choice of all the lives that I could live, I certainly would not choose to be an emperor, nor to be a millionaire, nor to be a philosopher, for power and wealth and knowledge bring with them sorrow. But I would choose to have nothing to do but to love my Lord Jesus-nothing, I mean, but to do all things for his sake, and out of love to him." Charles Spurgeon. (Savior, let my life truly reflect this.)

"I believe in [Jesus] as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." C.S. Lewis

My Interests

Drawing closer to my Savior, making disciples, worship (my passion), reading (not just the Bible, but in general), music, writing, acting (I do not get the opportunity often, but when I do I love it), singing (my shower has yet to kick me out), my band (crazy) Divine Rhyme, and some day I would love to travel (I am a Francophile).
Phil 3:8, I pray.
