Whenever someone asks me to describe myself, my first thought is always that i am loved. I come from a very loving, supportive believing family. I’m the oldest of 3. Having always been the “goodie goodie” child…i never really thought i had a good testimony because i wasn’t saved from the deepest darkest pit of dispair, but rather just always believed blindly. It wasn’t until high school though, when i became a part of a bible study that would last my entire high school years, that i realized truly what it was to walk with the Lord and have a genuine,change your entire life relationship with Jesus meant. That bible study leader changed all of our lives simply by living it out and making her realtionship with God so real and attractive. I just remember wanting that so badly. So entering college, i had a firm foundation, and became involved in a christian sorority my first two years, and then got into leadership with college minsitry at the church i attended during my last two years. That church was amazing in the teaching arena, but i came out with much head knowledge and little heart connection with God. It wasn’t until my bubble was burst while in culinary school that i truly understood that i need God on a very emotional level…and that relying on Him for everything had little to do with intellect and everything to do with intimacy with Him. And i would say now…and over the past couple of years, i have been learning how to balance the two…knowing that i need to know scripture in my heart, but also be able to walk that out with how i interact with others,and knowing that thinking about God on a theological level is just as important and connecting with him on an emotional level. All i know is that right now, i have a raging bonfire inside of me with passion for the Lord and the desire to be used in a big way! I am completely sold out…there is no going back. So… that’s me in a nutshell 🙂
