Hi! My first blog post!! Just thought I’d share a little bit about me and how I came to know the Lord!
Here’s a little bit about me! My favorite thing to do is to be in nature! I love hiking in the mountains, it is so humbling and reminds me how small I am. I have 3 sisters who I’ve learned are my favorite people. My big sister Avery is 20. She is graceful, smart, and the most talented person I know. She never meets a stranger which is a quality I am so jealous of! My two baby sisters are kinda my whole world!! Karsen is 15. She is our firecracker and makes me laugh harder than anybody else can. She loves so hard and so fiercely. Emmy is 11 and she is my angel. She is kind and the most loving gentle person you will ever meet. My dad has raised the four of us on his own for almost 7 years and is the strongest man I know! He protects us and represents the Lords love without even realizing that he’s doing it 😉
My walk with Christ really started in 2012 when my parents divorced. Their divorce was long and extremely messy because of how mentally ill my mom is. As they divorced I experienced emotional and physical abuse from my mom, who my whole world revolved around, and isolation from almost everybody I loved. As you can imagine, experiencing isolation and abuse at such a young age can be detrimental, but in those rock bottom moments is where Jesus met me. I had nobody to turn to, so out of desperation I turned to Jesus, and my life has never been the same! Since then I have had my ups and downs, (as we all do.) I really strayed from the Lord my senior year, which was something I had never experienced before, and honestly it was scary! I was partying, drinking, and caring wayyyy too much about what people thought of me or how many likes my instagram posts would get. When I moved to Colorado for the start of my gap-year, I finally realized that I was chasing fulfillment from earthly things that were never going to satisfy me. I stopped chasing earthly validation and started chasing the Lord again and it has been so fun! Through the years I have learned how freeing following Jesus is. I am living in that freedom and excited that I get to share it with all of you!!
