Hey All!
This is my first blog post. I’m not much of a blogger, well by not much of I mean I have never actually written a blog in my whole life, so this is definitly a first.
I am 22 years old and I currently live in Wilmington, North Carolina. I love it here, I am currently in my 5th year at UNCW. I am a double major in Marine Biology and Psychology and will be graduating in May… yipee! While I’ve been in Wilmington God has blessed me tremendously with a community of believers that surround me. I really can’t explain in words how fortunate I am. Having a community of believers to fellowship with and just share life with has encouraged me and helped me to grow throughout college.
My family lives in Greensboro, NC, just 3.5 hours away from me. i love my family so very much. They have been more than supportive of me and anything I wished to accomplish my whole life. I am so fortunate that they are not only my family but they are my friends as well and I actually want and love to hang out with them haha. Before we lived in Greensboro we lived in Falmouth Maine from my 4th grade year til summer after my freshman year in highschool and before that we lived in Texas and I was born in Louisiana, so I guess I have been all over. Each place taught me something different and each place brought me amazing friends and experiences. With each move I was hurt and mad and scared but with each one God helped me grow, taught me something, and overall molded me into who I am today.
I have faith that God is going to use this new chapter in my life to further mold me and shape me to be more like him. I am so so soooo beyond excited to see the work that God is going to do in my life, in the lives of those I meet around the world and in the lives of those back home that follow my journey and follow how God is using us as his tools (not because he needs us, but because he Loves us) to transform the world. I want to be his hands and feet, I want to grow closer to him each day, I want to shine his amazing light of everlasting love to this dark, broken and fallen world. My heart aches for those who don’t know Jesus Christ and I am soo overwhelmed with JOY that I have the opportunity to share him with the lost.
