The truth is life isn't always easy. Sometimes it can be quite harsh and the world cruel and cold as ice, but we have to stand for what we believe is right even in the darkest of those storms. Without hope we are a hopeless people falling into the deep nothingness that space is comprised of.

For many years I've struggled with who I am and who God created me to be. I never really understood what the whole point of it all was. It took some time, many years in fact, but He finally showed me why I am here…why we're all here.

In a blog previous to this one I wrote the meaning of the phrase God had given me: Go, Love, and Be Loved! It was a powerful message at the time He gave it to me, and it's powerful now. However it's not mine to force, but rather live out!

I'm here on this earth to be loved by my Father in Heaven and to learn how to love Him back. There are so many applicable ways that He has given me to do this and it's my choice to do what I will with it. Right now He has given me an extraordinary gift that is allowing me to push into Him in new ways and dive into love that I've never seen played out before. This gift is my team!

Out of all of the things that He has taught me thus far, loving my team has been the best/hardest thing He's thrown at me. By sticking me in deep community He has shown me the good and bad sides of myself and allowed me to change and become!
