I’m here to give you an insight to my story, which consists of a number of things both in and outside of CBU.
For instance, I come from a family of 7 kids. I know, I know, bring on the "cold winter" and "'did your parents own a TV" comments. My parents are wonderful and have been married for more than 30 years (cue applause.)
Like many of you, I’ve been through some tough patches and challenging times in my life. Since then, I've rededicated my life to Christ and try to live my life for Him in every way.
I'm a leader at South Hills Church in Corona; I co-lead worship at The Furnace, the next-gen group there.
This past weekend my boyfriend Ryan and I did a skit for the Inland Empire Marriage Conference, which was a bit awkward because we're not married. But hey, it was a blast and because of that conference, relationships were renewed and blessed. That's good enough for me.
This weekend I'll be up in the mountains co-leading worship with Ryan at a youth retreat. I'm seriously so stoked on what God's going to do in the lives of the teens there.
Living my life for Christ goes much further than singing a song or performing a skit. It has everything to do with our relationships, our efforts and our responsibilities. I was at a night of worship earlier that was put on by the school's student club Praise Divine Worshipers, here on campus. There was a poem that was recited that spoke about getting out of the groove of our everyday lives. I don't think I could have agreed more with every word in that poem. It was a reminder not to remain caught up in our own selves but with God and His purpose for us.
It's 1:29am and I am seriously beat. All my roommates are asleep, which means I should be too.
