My Family:
I am third of eight kids; three brothers and four sisters. My dad is a Deputy Marshall and works for the county. He’s one of the strongest, hardest working men I know. He’s been through so much and just keeps on going. I’ve learned a lot about endurance from him and I think I get my quirky sense of humor from him as well. My mom is a stay at home mom where she has spent the last eighteen years home schooling her children.
My Time with Jesus:
We didn’t go to church when
I was a kid, but we had a lot of the christian children’s books. I
don’t remember when I actually “prayed the prayer” but all through my
childhood God definitley made His presence known to me. I remember one
time when I was four or five and I was having nightmares about King Kong ( I still have a slight fear of monkeys ) and I prayed one night before I went to bed. I asked God to give me good
dreams. That same night I dreamed I was at the supper table with
Christ. I didn’t understand it then but I do now. It
was His promise to me. When I was fifteen I started going to church which
was totally God. I hadn’t really read much of the Bible before going to church, so for the first couple years I was learning a lot. The only problem was it was all head knowledge; it wasn’t sinking to my heart. When I was eighteen some things happened at the church that really
shook my faith and caused me to move to another church. For two years I
struggled with my identity in Christ. I was always asking myself if I
was really saved. At twenty God brought me to Ecola Bible School where He
showed me through Romans 8 the security I have in Him. After that God
taught and continues to teach me just how sweet a relationship with Him
can truly be. I graduated from Ecola in spring 07. I was excepted to do the internship program with Ecola so went back for a second year. The first year I learned so much about my Savior. The second year He was teaching me how to live for Him.

A Few Facts About Me:
My number one goal in life is to serve the Lord wherever that may be.I like to do hard things that will make me grow even though I’ll drag my feet in some instances. One of my weaknesses that God’s working me through is being intimidated and not sharing what I should. My favorite color is blue. My most favorite food is Mexican. I read a lot of books. I like to travel although I haven’t done much. One more thing, I’m super excited to be going on the World Race this next year!
