As of right now I’m living in Houston, Tx working as a nurse in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I love my job, maybe not every second of it, but its pretty fantastic. It is by the far the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Every day is a challenge mentally and emotionally- but I learn all the time and get to be with people in some horrible moments. I’m privileged with the opportunity to show them glimmers of Jesus little by little while we fight for the goodness of life.
I’m originally from the Dallas/ Fort Worth area, but I went to school at The University of Texas at Austin for my undergrad. I’ve moved around quite a bit for various reasons, which has been neat because each place has represented a distinct season that God has brought me through and taught me incredible things. (Reasons why the nomadic lifestyle of the WorldRace excites me so much :). I have two brothers, amazing friends, incredible mentors. I’m way more into music than I should be… mostly an avid show spectator/ collector, but I’m learning the violin and piano. I love to read and write, and I try to travel, hike, run, and rock climb as much as my budget /schedule will allow. I live for community and good conversation, and I would love to have one with you.
When I graduated last year I had no idea where I’d be going, I had no answer for those who questioned me about grad school, no distinct plan. I just knew I had to wait and trust. I knew God had something much bigger waiting for me to participate in. He put in me a burning desire to see His kingdom ushered in. To not settle for the urban life cycle of work-make money-shop-hang out- sleep-repeat. I am to live here, or anywhere, with a purpose. The Purpose. I have found myself unable to escape my wanderlust and His call to go on the WorldRace. I can feel Him changing my heart. He is prying my hands off of the things I am attached to here, and lovingly placing them in His. It’s a painful process, but its one that I desperately need to embrace. He is preparing me for the shock and awe of His unrelenting love for me and this world. And so I will let go. And simply go.
