I like to add some kind of spice to most situations.  Kinda Irish, 1/4 giraffe, 1/4 swazi and 1/4 hippie.  I am also the Jackie of all trades.  I think I’ve mastered laughing at myself.  I am a huge fan of live music and sing often, even though it tends not to be a “spiritual gift.”  I love photography.  I was able to lead a girls high school group for 4 years and fell in love with them and the youth of today.  They bring out the true me and actually think I’m cool.  I grew up playing most sports, so I enjoy all of them.  My two favorite things are dancing and attempting to surf.  I am also a sucker for a good movie or play.  Road trips and surprise parties are equally amazing.  I mostly really enjoy spending some good quality time with my friends at coffee shops/vino museo.   Vintage clothes and shoes rock, and I would never pass up a walk on the beach-barefoot.  I can never get enough of the sky.  I mean come on God… a different painting everyday.

I was born in the sunny
California and moved 10 years later to village in Arkansas.  I have managed to live in Ar-kansas for 12 years and still have no accent.  My heart was left in Cali right by the waves, but has grown fond of the Ozarks and the Razorbacks. I have sweet family – a mother who loves me so much and just confessed her love for Harley       Davidson, a dad who might be the smartest and funniest guy I know and a step-father who is ornery, caring and always ready for a good laugh.  I have one older and witty brother, two step-brothers and a 9 lb. poodle.  My niece is three and is the most beautiful thing.  I thank the Lord for rest of my family who just really love me.  The Stephenson’s, Kelley’s and Mc Guires.  My family tree has expanded. 

 

     I went to a private Christian college called John Brown University and graduated in May 2007.  I learned about community living, the amazing Jesus I serve, met some of the most amazing people and was able to play women’s basketball.  I was challenged by a professor to not be ordinary – to really be kingdom minded.  So the World Race it was.  Lets go and be the Kingdom.  I left July of 08 and lets just say I haven’t stopped since.  It has only opened my “spirit-man” to the depths I have been longing for. 
 
 I am attending a Leadership Academy called Generation 42 until December 20th.  This has only developed my understanding of God’s point with His creation and has lead me down a path to go and get the inheritance (nations) that he has for us all.  The leadership here has inspired me to step out in my giftings freely.   My passion to see all the dead come COMPLETELY ALIVE has only increased and I find myself leading the World Race January squad 2010 (Team N) with one of my dear friends Robby Riggs.  So much is stirring….but simply I was made to be loved…and that alone spurs me to go and make disciples…  Cheers to being loved and loving because HE frist loved us.
