Gap Year Blog

I want to share a little bit more about what God has done in my life and why I want to spend the rest of my life serving Him. I grew up in a strong Christian home with amazing parents who to this day I still look up to. I don't remember a time where I did not know the Lord, but you can know someone without really being in a relationship with them. It wasn't until the year 2020, when my family and I moved away from our hometown, leaving everyone we loved, did I really understand that my joy, hope, and salvation could never be found in my friends or community because they're not eternal. God mercifully used that dark, lonely time of my life to bring me back to Him. I now know that Jesus Christ is my Rock and Redeemer, and He is the source of my everlasting joy and fulfillment. By no means am I now perfect, each day God is continuously sanctifying me and shaping me into who He wants me to be, but because of all that God has done for me I want to live my life for Him. My desire is for others to know of the unending hope and peace found in Jesus Christ.

"...as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." - Philippians 1:20-21
