Alyssa Katelyn. A woman of integrity. Of dignity. Of strength. This girl isn’t afraid to go deeper and search for the Lord in the hard places. She follows through with almost everything she says she’ll do, and she takes the Lords convictions to heart and to him. She inspires me everyday to seek the Lord wholeheartedly and pushes me past my comfort zones. She is the utmost excellent listener and is always there for people no matter what. She loves hard and encourages everyone she encounters. Plus she’s amazing at everything; drawing, writing, singing, photography. Like seriously… what can this girl not do? It’s a privilege for me to call her a best friend and if you ever get the chance to talk to her, do it. You’ll end up encountering the Holy Spirit and walking away fulfilled. You won’t regret it.

Alyssa is kind hearted and has a genuine sincerity about her. She sees people on an individual basis and is intentional to ask how people are really feeling. 1 Corinthians 13 defines love many different ways, one that specifically reminds me of Alyssa is that, “love hopes all things.”
“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.” Psalm 39:7

Alyssa McGrail, zealous. What a woman of truth, passion and dignity. The past 6 months I have had the privilege to learn a whole new piece of the Lord’s character through Alyssa. She is constantly pushing herself outside of her comfort zone. I have witnessed so much growth through her because of that, and in return has pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone as well. When Alyssa speaks she makes the words she has here on earth count. The passion Alyssa has for justice for others through loving them like Christ does rocks my world. So honored and blessed to call this lady my sista gal!

Alyssa.
Powerful. Strong. Independent. Open. Honest.
Alyssa stands tall, and walks strong in faith. Walking into uncharted places, she has a strong dependence on the Lord and the path he has. She’s a world changer.

Alyssa… Passionate in all she does. She is with Christ, constantly growing closer to God and experiencing new ways God loves. She shares his kindness.

To create. Create with my mind, with my hands, with my words, with my eyes, with everything that I am. I want to reflect the creativity of the ultimate Creator, Jesus.
