My Story
I’m a 23-year-old girl Chicago born, Minnesota raised, and California schooling, with four months living in Bolivia, and a semester in Uganda in between. Mexico and Peru have shaped me too.
I grew up in a safe and loving family, and everything about living in America seemed to encourage what was comfortable, logical, and known. Somehow, I grew up wanting to create a story that was unknown. I wanted to break out of the box of comfortable and live a story written supernaturally by the hand of my Father. I wanted to redefine community, starting with Acts 2:42-27. After starting an intentional community in high school, I started to see God move in my life from the inside out, seeing miracles that I couldn’t explain in the context of community. God loves to move when we give him space. I started to see what could be possible.
What kind of life has Jesus made possible?
That is the question I live in, the tension I embrace, and the challenge I get the honor to accept. At a young age I’m still learning what life well lived looks like, but so far, I’ve found that it looks like living loved. Everything seems to flow out of that.
To whom much is given, much is possible.
This is what I’m learning and I need help figuring it out. It’s an invitation to experience radical love in the mundane. It's an invitation to life to the full. It’s an invitation to see what kind of life God has made possible.
