Well....
It has been a long time since I last posted and lets just say that I have been busy. The biggest thing that has happened in my life is that I got to go on a Missions Trip to New York for Spring Break. We did so much for so many in such a short amount of time. It was an amazing trip! We got to worship at the Brooklyn Tabernacle 2 times, we worked with the learning center connected to BT that helps people get their GED, we worked two different soup kitchens, we helped to re-stock a World Vision warehouse, we got to go to BT's Prayer Meeting which lasted over two hours, we got to minister to the homeless, and we got to go to the Ignite Conference at BT where the guest speaker was Francis Chan. Plus, between all of that going on, I got to know the people on the trip with me really well and it was amazing to fellowship with them and to just grow so much in our walks with God.
This song sums up everything:

The Power of His Love
Today in Chapel I got to hear some amazing stories about how God is changing the lives of the people around me. His glory was so present in their stories and in their enthusiasm to share them with everyone who was there.
God gave me two verses a couple of weeks ago and I feel like I should share them. It was during a time when I was struggling and I was weak. God moved in my life in a powerful way and showed me how awesome His love is for everyone, including me.
1. Psalm 15:5 Lord, you are my portion and my cup of blessing; You hold my future.
2. Psalm 50:15 "and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
Through Psalm 15:5 God was able to tell me that He is the one in control of my life and my future. At the time my future was in question and there were some tough decisions to make but through it all God kept telling me not to worry and to trust in Him. Then, He gave me this verse and everything just seemed to make sense.
Through Psalm 50:15 God has given me the courage to share my story with everyone. It is like this verse is His way of saying that when we are in trouble and when we cry out to God, He will answer and He knows that it will bring glory to His name.
So, when you are struggling and you are barely hanging on, remember this: God knew your future before you were even born. He is always with you and He hears every word you speak to Him. Let Him show you the plan that He has for your life and remember that He knows what you need to experience and go through to bring glory to His name.
This song seems to express what I am feeling right now, that we testify to His almighty love.

Inspiration
My Dad told me that when I actually become an astronaut, he will get this framed for me. It is his way of using an inside joke to motivate me to be the best I can be. He reminds me to stay humble but hungry, to stay focused but to have fun, to remember that the little things in life are what makes life special.“Champions take chances and pressure is a privilege.”

First Blog Ever!
Hello to everyone and to no one,
This is my first entry into my first ever blog. I am not sure what I plan to post here, it might be a quote I have heard, it might be a story I want to share and it might be an event happening in my life that I feel could help others.
To start this blog off I will go with a few quotes that I have heard in the last week that have caught my attention.
"The only thing that can satisfy the desire that's within you, is the one that put that desire in you."
"Someday, someone is going to walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else."
"Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest time, but about who came and never left your side."
"I may not be the best, but I’ve come to believe that I got it in me to be somebody in this world."
"Sometimes one dream is enough to light up the whole sky."
