It's not about the experience, it's about the relationship.

About Me


my name is brooke. i'm eighteen. i'm a sophomore at lee and can't wait to be back there. i love Jesus with my entire heart. he never had to steal my heart, he was the first person i ever really wanted to give it to fully knowing that he would protect it & already gave up his life for it. i listen to secular music sometimes & i have my lip pierced (i can hear all the religious people gasping under their breath. maybe it's so i can clear out the religious people out from around me so i can actually push my way to the presence of God...because sometimes, it takes pushing through the crowds and the judgement to get to the one who makes everything make sense) i'm so imperfect, that's why i have to rely on my faith to know that Jesus has the answers that i don't have. i'm not some great person because i chose to have faith, the fact that it was the first thing i had ever been offered that made that much sense made it a simple decision. my most recent goal in my life is to break down every stereotype ever placed on me as a young, Christian woman. those three categories entail a lot of stereotypes and i'm on my way to showing people that you can be fully committed to God with your lip pierced, listening to emery. i deal with a lot of things during which i tend to put a smile on my face because i know that i have to be strong, but i see that that makes me seem like i don't deal with things and that i have a perfect life. i don't want that to be a stumbling block for people around me, because i struggle too but i just have to let Jesus deal with some things because honestly, i'm not strong enough. so, this is who i am and i will not change for any person, because of any judgement, or for any reward.
"i'm in love with God and God's in love with me, this is who i am and this is who i'll be & that settles it--completely."

called to awaken.
