I currently live in Nashville, TN. I grew up in a Christian home with
two amazing parents. My mom is sweet and loving, my dad is strict and
blunt but he has shown me a glimpse of God’s holiness. I have a
younger sister who is 19 and suffers from a variety of health issues,
too long to list, but her issues have brought my family so much closer
together, and brought her and I together. We attended the same high
school for two years, and God has really used my relationship with her,
especially our time in school together, to free me from a selfish-life
that myflesh wants me to live but of course that’s still a struggle for me.
started college in 2006. A perfect storm kind of came together as I
got involved in a missions minded church in Auburn, and my church back
in Birmingham received a radical pastor who began to show my family and
I the Christian life cannot be lived without taking part in missions
somehow. My time in Auburn has been an incredible blessing, I have
been blessed with amazing friends to live life and grow to know the
Lord with. One of my best friends, Matt Delaney, is the person who
actually introduced me to the World Race and I’ve kind of been one step
behind him in the whole process. I love playing and watching sports,
reading, watching sitcoms, my favorite of which are seinfeld and king
of queens. But I have to give a shout out to the greatest syndicated
show of all time, Saved by the Bell. I spend most of my free time hanging out with
friends as I really do cherish all the relationships God has blessed me
with. I am really gonna miss my family, but skype is going to be
clutch, I think in some ways Ill miss my friends even more because
contact will be less with them, but I’m banking on making a bunch of
new friends through our team, so you guys better help me out on that.
I am not really sure how I am gonna live outside
of my comfort zone for a whole year, I get stressed out about traveling
which will be a challenge for me, and I’m not really sure how to
explain how much I will miss Auburn Football next fall. I came up with
plenty of reasons not to go on the world race, and the only reason I
could come up with to go was that I would know God more, it turned out
to be a pretty easy decision. The main goals I have for the World Race
is to first of all learn how to share my faith and be a bold witness to
everyone I come across, and I want to learn to trust God with my entire
life while being scared to death. Look forward to living life with you guys and embarking on an incredible adventure.
