I was born in Pennsylvania and raised in a loving Christian home – the youngest of five with four older brothers.  The Lord got a hold of my heart at a young age and completely transformed my life during my time as a student at Elim.  At times I look back over my life and am amazed at where the Lord has brought me and who He has created me to be.  Who I am now is not the person I was a few years ago, and I know that that will continue to be the story of my life as I stay moldable and surrendered to Him.

Quotes:

"Safe? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the king I tell you."

~ Mr. Beaver from Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis
 

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same, as we are liberated from our own fear. Our presence automatically liberates others."
