My Creed

This I Believe - written in 2015 and true for me today


I believe that everyone regardless of age, race, sex, or religion/passion should learn to accept and love one another for who they are. I am a Christian and I have seen my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ shame and mock people who are not the same as they are. That truly breaks my heart. As Christians we are supposed to love and accept everyone as Christ has and that is where some of us have failed.

I will take a recent event for example, the legalization of gay marriage. There were and still are Christians everywhere bashing and hating on the government and homosexuals for it. I do not believe that is the proper response. I believe that we should accept and love them for who they are and how they live. How could Christians ever expect to reach more people and expand the kingdom without first showing everyone that we are pleasant, progressive, and loving people?

No one would dream of reacting the same way about mixed marriages; everyone accepts and loves them for loving someone with a different skin color. Why can we not all begin to accept everyone for anything they do, regardless of our beliefs? I believe that no matter who you are the world could benefit from our love and acceptance. The world would certainly be a much nicer place.

Freshman Fifteen

As some of you may know last year (as in my Freshman year of college) I was sick a lot and there were a lot of other stressors happening in my life. In the chaos of it all I was struggling to find time in my schedule to eat. I did not see the big deal and I almost did not even realize it. At one point someone asked me what I had eaten and I honestly could not tell them the last thing I had eaten. At that point I was lucky enough to have friends around to help me remember to eat. This sounds terrible and like I was doing this to myself and to an extent I was and to an extent I wasn’t. My freshman year of college I had the Freshman Fifteen, I had just lost the weight instead of gained it. This was not due to my own choice, nor my own desire. I was on the go: from hospital visits (9 times), to 3 different doctors, classes, homework, family, friends at college, friends at home, Wesley a campus ministry I am a part of, trying to find a home church in Kennesaw, moving 3 times, t...

22...21...20...

Hey guys!! I thought I'd post a short blog with this picture just to say... these were my feels about turning 20 😬 AND  they're my feels about going to Guatemala in < 20 days (14 to be exact) and my team meeting me there in exactly 20 days!! I have a few things to say: To my team:  wow oh wow I am so excited to share this experience with y'all. The next time I see most of you we will be on Guatemalan soil!!  T W E N T Y  D A Y S!!!!! can you believe it? I want to encourage us all to pray intentionally and earnestly for ourselves and our mission down there. Pray that the Lord will soften the hearts of the teens in Guatemala we will be reaching and that He will open doors for them to be able to get there. To my support system in the States:  I have been fighting a spiritual and mental battle lately and have hit some bumps in the road. This truly is an experience I want to have an open mind and heart for, but most importantly I want to have a clea...
