When our depravity meets His divinity, it's a beautiful collision.

About Me

To the masses...here's my webpage, normally I'm not one to do something like this, but it's been fun to catch up with a lot of people that I haven't seen in a while. About me... I am a Freshman at The University of Kansas and am majoring in Clinical Psychology. I am a true blue Jayhawk and enjoy meeting people on campus and getting involved in whatever I can. I'm laid-back, somewhat shy, a deep thinker, honest, and am comfortable doing things by myself. I'm more of a listener than a talker and invest a lot of myself into my relationships with my family and friends. Music is something I enjoy very much, not only to listen to but to create. I enjoy the little things in life and live to experience new places and new things. God is the most important person in my life, His undeserving grace, mercy and love have been constant throughout my life, and I trust completely in the plans He has for me. To my friends: I'll do my best to keep you all updated, so look for those updates on my blog page. Love you all and Soli deo Gloria!
