Hey everybody,
I was born in Louisville, KY but only lived there the first 2 years of my life so i dont remember it. Since then i have lived in Acworth, GA which is just north of Marietta. I am 23 years old and love the Lord. If there is an outside activity gonig on I want to be a part of it. At the same time however I will play video games all night long just to win one game if I have to. So I have a little bit of a competative side.
I have two amazing parents, one brother, Jonathan, and two sisters, SA and Caroline Grace. Without their support and influence I would not be who I am today. God has blessed me with a loving family.
I get along with just about everyone and dont get upset very easily. God has blessed me in so many ways, first of all by sending Jesus to die for my sins even while I was his enemy. It is because of this that I choose to live my life sold out for Jesus.
I went on my first mission trip as a senior in high school. Our church youth group goes to a foriegn country every spring break to do little projects and hold VBS'. While I was there God showed me how everything was on His time, not even Island time could stop my God.
When I got back to the states not a great deal changed. I had new friends and that was cool, but life seemed to go right back into that comfortable groove that I am always trying to pull out of. So I start my freshmen semester at Kennesaw State University and thats when life started to pick up.
Long story short I got involved with the Student Ministries at West Ridge Church. I met amazing people, got to act like a kid all over again and was mentored by some Godly dudes. Since then I have been growing closer and closer to God, building a relationship in eternity.
Fast forward a few years and my friends sister, Jessica Smith goes on The World Race and returns in June. She loved it, said it was amazing, got to travel the world with Godly people preaching the Gospel, blah blah blah. It obviously didnt click with me at first. January roles around and I attend the Passion Conference in Atlanta, GA. After I got back I felt the desire and need to do something but I didnt konw what. A friend randomly came up to me and said, 'Hey the World Race, that seems like something you would have done or be good at Thomas.' I said, 'Hey why not.'
I signed up, got accepted and havent looked back since.
