If you've gotten so far as to get to this page somehow, then I'm sure you know me! I don't think there are any strangers here:) But maybe you don't know too much, so get to know me! Let me tell you about my life; well, the beginning of the grand adventure that my life is becoming:)
My active pursuit after God started in Jan. 2013 when I went to a missionary training program in Florida. During this time and forever after, my heart changed and I no longer wanted to live a life of being satisfied with the God I knew. God is so much BIGGER and AWESOMER and then I knew Him to be(!!!) and I became determined to spend my life discovering the infinity of God, knowing His heart and being known by Him.
SO! I decided to go to Bible school and was considering two options- Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry(BSSM) and Eternity Bible College. At the time when I really had to decide what to do- go to Bible college or go on to get my bachelors degree in human sciences, I was pretty much forced to go to the best summer camp ever in Philly by one of the best humans and my best friend (aka fern)- ERICA! On the first day, the speaker said all these things that seemed to confirm going to Bible school, but I needed some definite confirmation that was ON POINT....and I got it. "If you don't get up and go, you will never know!" The Holy Spirit said, "There. Go." Then I met a girl in the camp who had just come back from completing her first year in BSSM, she's in second year now, and she told me about the culture, the people, the heart of the school and I totally was like, "What the heck is this place!?! I need to be there!"
As soon as I got home from camp, I had my little sister Angie, another one of the world's best humans, take the WORST photos of me with my afro-looking hair(:/) so that I could APPLY ASAP! I wanted to do it as fast as possible because I was already applying really late and this school has people apply from like 68-ish different countries and they deny like hundreds and I know so many AMAZING people apply to come here and, "Geez. I better get this application done and in before they'll fill all of their spots with all those thousands of people applying and I won't get in, and I won't know what to do with my life!!!!!!." Pretty much in panic mode. No big deal.
I got accepted and now I live in Redding, California, and I'm one of the people sitting in a seat reserved for revivalists and world-changers. And I'll be here for 8 more months, learning from the anointed, growing with the best, and loving and being loved through the process. With a bunch of layers of awesome-ness and adventures and friends and ice cream in between. Oh, and reading SO SO many books! That's the short version of the story.
Take an ice-cream break now people, that was a lot of reading................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................hope you're done, because I'm ready to keep going;)
I decided to blog my life because I want to TAKE YOU ALONG!!! on my exciting journey! I want you to inspire me and I want to inspire you too! I recently spent some time thinking about how all the people in my life have shaped me and my journey would not be the same without every single one of them, and without you!
I'm pretty much going to tell you about my process, random fun facts and quotes, share pictures of my life, tell you about moments that shape and change me and whatever else I want to, because this is my blog, and I DO WHAT I WNAT! Even spell words wrong. Yup.
I want you to be a part of this! So leave your words and comments and reactions in the comments and tell me how I can be a part of your life!(If you want me to be;))
Because you are you, I am me.
Moral of the story: " IF YOU DONT GET UP AND GO, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW !"
XOXO,
