Love is something that I have always had in my life. Growing up having two loving parents and three sisters that dressed me up as a girl cause they wished they had a sister. I was always loved. Looking back at my most recent achievement of graduating college, I see love from people who supported me and God always having my back.
When I came to deciding on college, God was with me all along encouraging me at every step. I was at a community college while deciding what I wanted to study and do with my future. I could never find the answer, I continued to pursue avenues that Breier wanted and never was fully invested on pursuing what God called me to do. Physical Therapy, Psychology, and Electrical Engineering are majors that I tried out and ended up switching after a few semesters. I was in the middle of another major change when I was at a coffee shop with Rob Mapstone, a pastor at the church I was attending called The River in Chaska. Such a great church and really put a fire under me to always be pursuing God and making Him a priority (that’s for another post). Towards the end of the meeting Rob was telling me that he needed to go to Crown College for another meeting about the potential of teaching there. I decided to go along with him and see what Crown was all about. I only lived 15 minutes away from it but have never heard of it. So I had to go and see! When I got there I immediately got connected with Ken Castor, a extremely impactful teacher for youth ministry. After I connected with him I remember asking if I can start that semester…..that was only three days before classes started! It’s great how easy things are when God is behind you, the paper that usually takes weeks only took a day, financial aid got processed within days and three days after that meeting at Crown I was moving into the dorms and starting one of the best chapters of my life.
Fast forward to graduation…..Bachelors in Business Administration and fully equipped to follow what God puts on my heart. Crown has been such a big part of my past and has prepared me for the future. This goes to show that you never know when God is going to radically change your life. He changed my life for the better in the matter of 72 hours. A complete 180 degrees, He turned confusion and uncertainty into purpose and inspiration. So as I go onto the 11 month missions trip, I want to say thank you to all of those who have loved on me along the way.
This is just a very quick story about how I learned about Crown and how impactful it was in my life. I will be doing a video that goes more in depth and tells all the aspects of the crazy story for how I got to Crown!! Thanks for reading!
