Hey! How's it going?
You've hit my About Me Page…
Growing Up:
So, I was born into a christian family, grew up in the church and a christian school for half of my education. I'm an only child. When I was 7yrs old, my family and I moved from Peterborough, Ontario to Calgary, Alberta. I've lived there ever since 🙂 When I was 11, my family went through a really rough financial patch. We lost our electricity for a month and a half, then lost our house. Life was rough, I'll admit. But God was faithful, he brought us through it.
When I was in high school and even a couple years after, I fell away from God. I got into a bunch of not so good stuff, like swearing like a sailor, stealing, getting drunk almost every weekend, and a lot of other things. I called myself a christian, but I wasn't actually one.
But God rescued me.
A friend invited me to a youth conference out of town. There, God planted the seed and started to work on me. Then, a few months later, the same friend invited me to a young adults church service. God broke me there. I completely surrendered myself to Him. He started to remold me.
In Recent News:
God gave me the opportunity to go to university to study music for a year. He knew my heart's desires, and He gave it to me. But I asked Jesus what He wanted me to do with my life. So I'm dropping out. This will be my first and last year, because I am no longer satisfied with normal life. My Jesus has broken my heart for His children. I want to literally be His hands and feet. He has put human trafficking on my heart for the past six months, it's what has kept me up at night, I've cried over people I haven't even met yet. And now He is sending me to go and love on some people. But even though I'm leaving in September, that doesn't mean I'm going to wait around for a few months. I want God to use me to love on some people in my city. I used to hate living where I am. But God has recently broken me, He's starting to give me a heart for people, whether it be here in my city or halfway across the world. I need to love my fellow Calgarians before I can love people in India, or Thailand, or wherever. I'm looking forward to the next few months. I have a feeling God is going to make me into a completely different person.
Hello, World Race September 2011: Human Trafficking! I'm so excited to go!
