Hello World! Before beginning my ramblings, I wanted to give a brief introduction of myself.
I’m currently 21 and just graduated from the University of Georgia in May. I am an International Affairs major with a Security emphasis, and a French minor.
I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, but I’ve lived most of my life in good ‘ole Atlanta. All my relatives either live in South Africa, Australia, or Tasmania. I have amazing friends and the best family I could ask for–my dad (Glen), my mom (Sue), my not so little little brother (Kevan), and my adorable dog (Macy).

Some very special people in my life
Macy!! She’s pretty much the best dog on the face of this planet.
My wonderful parents
My brother and I–we’re pretty tight
Basically I realllyy love life and I love the little things that make it so beautiful. To me these things are: coffee, stary nights, rain, roiboos, good books, bonfires, music, thrift stores (aka treasure troves of tacky vintage goods), dancing, The Lord of the Rings (big fan!), drawing, chocolate, hiking, roadtrips, cupcakes, rock-climbing, Korean food, reading, taking photos, over-sized sweaters, adventure, languages, laughing, and dreaming with Jesus.
Which Brings me to the most important part of who I am…
Jesus Christ is my savior, my friend. He is amazing. I am constantly being reminded of His love and His goodness, His faithfulness and His favor. He has really been giving me a heart for revival in the past months.
I Believe…
I believe that God is raising up an army of young, on fire revivalists who are destined to awaken the nations of the earth to His love, and that I am one of them–that you are one of them 🙂
I believe that we have been chosen to overthrow the kingdom of darkness that has enslaved people and to establish the Kingdom of light on earth as it is in Heaven
I believe that I dream biggest when I dream with God
I believe in God’s radical, all-consuming love
I believe in His abundant Grace
(note: I am love love love all the teachings and books and worship specifically coming out of Bethel Church in California. It all speaks to my heart. SO just as a heads up, you will probably be seeing a lot of excerpts of things that I am reading from them in the future!..and various others things I may stumble upon…)
So that’s a glimpse of who I am. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
I’m super excited and blessed to be embarking on this AMAZING journey in July 2014. I cannot wait to see all the amazing things that the Lord will do leading up to the race and on the race, and I am excited to be partnering with you through this process!!
