I have wanted to start a blog for as long as I can remember. Not because I do so much that I need to tell the world, but rather that my experiences are worth sharing. My hope is that my random thoughts and adventures will shape someone else's perspective and encourage them to live boldly. This concept of living boldly was pretty foreign to me until God encouraged me to go deeper. To be a risk-taker. To demand more.
I first encountered God and His love for me when I started attending Cleveland State University. I was surrounded by freshman whose views were quite different than my own (side note: I was technically not a freshman because I took courses at a community college in high school). This challenged me to choose wisely in terms of who I spend my time with - and what I fill that time with. Starting my journey of faith as I was finishing my college career has allowed me to see how wonderfully God has impacted my life. I had a totally different expectation for how I was going to "do" college and dorm life. God (thankfully) had a different plan for me.
I have realized the importance of living an authentic life through my journey of becoming wholehearted. This came from growing in confidence of who I was created to be and respecting myself enough to demand more. I truly believe that my relationship with God is the fuel I need to live. My motivation and drive to do things well stem from this relationship.
I am chosen. I am beloved. I am unique. This is my identity.
