My name is Natalie Suzanne Gale. This first introduction is important because in my name describes foundational parts of my identity.
Natalie means “Christmas Child” or “God’s gift of Joy”
Suzanne means “Graceful lily”
Gale means “Lively” or “Jovial”
So much of who I am is wrapped up the joy and the purity of the Lord.
I’ve been in school for the past 4 years studying a wide range of topics. Biblical Greek and constitutional law were big focuses for me before I landed as a biology major. I love nutrition and holistic health, and hope to continue on to medical or nursing school after the race as a holistic practitioner. I love reading, exploring, learning, dancing, cooking, hiking, singing, talking and dreaming. I am courageous, though small, and have a fiery passion about me. I’m just obscure enough to not quite fit most people’s boxes, but am simple enough that I can appreciate most things.
My heart was resurrected in January 2011 by encountering the love of God, and I haven’t gone back since. I love to worship, am learning daily how to love, and am desirous to see people’s lives transformed by the goodness & severity of God. He is a wonder to behold! May the lamb receive the reward of his suffering, starting with me!
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal broken hearts, to proclaim freedom to the captives and vision to the blind, to restore the crushed with forgiveness, and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor” –Luke 4:18-19
