When the clock runs out for us, God will not care if we know the Bible inside and out, if we prayed everyday at every meal or if we attended our local church. No, he will say and be looking for one thing: ‘whatever you did for the ones who were forgotten and marginalized, you did for me.’ Recently I’ve been taking the time to live day by day and to focus all my energy into loving others. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing or where I am- whether I stand in Loveland Colorado or Africa or Thailand. It’s a joy to know my purpose is to love others and promote the hard questions that we all ponder so that perspectives can be formed and beliefs can be deepened. To love those who feel alone as they walk through the halls of our school. It is through the love of the Lord that I have joy; joy being a word that I base my life upon. This joy will hopefully poor out onto others throughout my upcoming walk. God has been preparing and transforming my heart most recently and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come. Blessed I am with the opportunity to live naturally and to love others purposefully regardless of who they are or where they come from. This overwhelming love and happiness has changed my heart and my perspective on people based on how we are all one in the same- on a quest to make a difference. This difference comes from love. Oh boy am I excited to love on people here right now and in 9 short months many amazing souls across the world. Man oh man our God is good.

PS. Love you all (;
