I am here for Friends

About Me

i grew up in Houston, TX USA with my mom, brother and sister. i always knew i had a destiny for my life - even when i was little. i always believed in God too, but i didn't know who he was til i started searching in high school. i joined a methodist church youth group in my senior year cause i was so hungry for truth. i had so many questions burning in my soul about life and God. i was struggling a lot with depression and hopelessness, but when i started seeking God i could see light at the end of the tunnel. i began doing short missions with the youth group, just helping fix people's homes who were too poor or too old to fix it themselves. Through experiences like this and through reading the Bible and prayer - i met God. i never had so much joy as i had giving and serving God by helping these people. Life started to finally make sense. i love God and i have given him my life to serve him. He gave his life for me on the cross, so its the least i can do for him. What that looks like changes from time to time. Currently i am building homes of hope for people in Baja California, Mexico. Being a follower of Jesus isn't easy. there are mountain top experiences, but there are also valleys. in the valleys i learn to trust God more. He is teaching me to be content in every situation. He never promises an easy life - He promises the peace that comes from knowing Him. i know my Redeemer lives, and i when i die it is only the beginning.
