So im Crystal 🙂 27 years old! I have lived in Charlotte Nc for 9 years originally from Lexington, NC (don’t worry you haven’t heard of it…. unless you like BBQ!) Have the most amazing family.. parents are still together and an older brother! Though we fought and were very different as children.. im finding we are more alike that i ever thought the older we get. They are all extremely supportive and my parents have been such strong christian rolemodels… i feel so blessed to have them all in my life!
I moved to charlotte for college at Unc Charlotte… which didn’t last long. I dropped out to go to cosmetology school to become and hairdresser and i LOVE it! couldn’t ask for a better job or a better place to work. My bosses have always been super supportive even when i was in my lowest of lows they always had faith in me and pushed me to become a strong independent woman! I grew up in the church with a very put together family.. and spent summers in church camp.. all kinds of youth group events… any and all you could think of! When high school and college started i went down a different path that led to unfulfilled friendships and heartbreak. I remembered hearing one time to “come as you are” so i started attending church again while i was still in a bad place in my life and just continued and the strong roots that were instilled in me as a child i feel helped me find my ground again. Since then it has been a constant roller coaster of finding myself in God. I feel like im at a point now that i want a deeper relationship and i amrealizing that everything i thought i knew about christianity as a child isn’t at all what it really is. I am being called on this mission… I can’t wait to just get rid of everything i own and just go on this journey.. God is calling me and i am so excited to start this new and amazing relationship with him!
