in case you were wondering....

I am a follower of Jesus Christ. The fact that He died a horrific death on the cross for a sinful, broken person like myself is mind blowing to me. Overwhelming actually. Only the Lord has the power to save us. To wash us clean. His love never fails. My prayer and desire is to seek His face each and every day. To find Him in everything. To live the life He has called me to, and to follow His will above my own.

I have been blessed with an incredible family. I have two sisters, Caroline and Maggie. I consider them some of my best friends, and love getting to do life with them. They are constantly teaching me just by living out their own lives. I could really go on and on about how thankful I am that the Lord put them in my life. My Mom and Dad are the greatest parents I could ask for. They are encouraging, loving, insightful, diligent, purposeful, and kind-hearted. I was blessed to grow up in a Christian household, and have learned so much from my parents. I'm still learning.

The Parentals!

Seesters!

My friends are seriously the greatest. But really. Throughout my life, the Lord has placed friends in my path that have encouraged, challenged, and helped me grow as a person. Quality time is one of my love languages (if you don't know what that means, check out The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman), and He has given me lots of opportunities to invest in friendships. Whether it's coffee/lunch dates, trips to Sonic (if you ever wonder where I am between 2 and 4, I am probably at Sonic), late night chats, bible study, random road trips, or long phone convos (shout out to my bestie, Allison Whitmeyer), I love getting to be with my friends. The Lord has taught me immensely through my friendships about loving and serving others.
