About Me

I am blessed with a loving family and amazing friends. I am a big dreamer and want to see change in this generation. I long to see people step outside of themselves in order to spare the life of someone else - to be the hands and feet of christ. I believe we are here for far greater reasons than to live for ourselves...but I fail miserably at this on a daily basis. We have all been designed with different talents, hobbies, and unique creativity in order for us to share it with others and serve the world....isn't that a beautiful thing? All I can say is that I am a huge work in progress - life has taught me so much, yet I still have tons to learn. Oh and I own a skate board but am scared to death of it.********************************************************* ********************“We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change.

My Blog

Love is not static...

Something happens when traveling outside of comfort and security. Back home I was wrapped in a safety blanket - threaded by an amazing church, constant friends, and a loving family. That was stripped ...
