blog post from 10/11/2022- Over the month of September, I decided to study love. I learned so much about the overflowing love of the Lord for us and how this love is displayed is the most beautiful of ways. Training camp presented itself with many challenges and times when I was questioning everything, yet the steadfast love of the Father prevailed and He met me where I was at every single time. As we moved into o...
blog post from 9/30/2022- Sorry that this post is coming to you a little late, but I still thought I'd update everyone on the craziness happening over the past couple days. We finished training camp, and I guess I'm still processing over how crazy of a month it was. I grew more in my faith in that time than ever before, learning to focus on the Lord and build my foundation on the Lord's solid, steadfast love. Ther...
blog post from 9/17/2022- The other day we went hiking to the top of Mt. Yonah here in Gainesville to camp at the top…and it was rough. I won’t lie, the way up that mountain was filled with blisters, bugs, and my sweat mixing with my own tears. Some people Usain Bolt-ed their way up that mountain but I’ve come to realize that’s just not me. God grants us with specific gifts and physical stamina is not entirely one...
blog post from 9/4/2022- Wow. This first week of the race has been absolutely insane. Going into this, I knew it was going to be difficult. I knew it would be draining, I knew I would break down walls, and I knew I’d learn so much more about Christ and my identity in Him. But I never thought that it would happen so. fast. We have two sessions of teaching a day, taught by amazing leaders who practically drown us in...
blog post from 7/8/2022- Today marks 50 days until I start my journey with the World Race. Over the past couple months, I've seen and experienced so many feelings. Feelings of doubt, stress, uncertainty, and confusion. But more than any of those feelings, I have a sense of peace, purpose, strength, and belonging in this place I'm in. I have chosen to step confidently into the plan that God has for me (no matter ho...
blog from 1/30/2022- I'm sitting here right now doing my homework and this was placed on my mind so I thought I'd share with you all! I'm in a lot of classes that require extended reading, and a lot of them are tied together with topics of worldly distress. Poverty, oppression, racism, disease, war, the list truly does go on and on. I often feel very brought down by these readings because they are so true and the ...
blog from 1/25/2022- This question is just packed with SO MUCH, and I can't wait to share why I'm choosing to leave for 9 months. If you asked me even a month ago if I was planning on taking a gap year, I would've said no. I mean, why would I? After this semester, I'll be a senior in college. What's the point in stopping now? My entire life has kinda been like that, in a constant state of hopping from one thing to...
