Hey friends! 

I am so excited to get to share a little of what the Lord is doing in and through my life during this journey of the World Race Gap Year He has called me on. But to start, here is a little about me!

I am 17 years old and am a senior in High School. Though my school, which doubles as my church, I have gotten the opportunity to know some outstanding people and go on some amazing adventures, all the while being encouraged in my faith and growing in relationship with God. I live in Colorado Springs, CO, and have my whole life. I am the third out of four girls in my family and am blessed to call each of my sisters my friends. I also have two incredible parents who love the Lord and have been huge impacts in my personal faith.

Some things I love are: being outside, hanging out with my family and friends, worship, new adventures, music and going to concerts, sunsets, baking, playing games, wildflowers, travel, listening to people's stories, and coffee. 

Through the past few years the Lord has been calling me to Himself and teaching me to choose Him despite the highs and the lows, showing me that He is in fact faithful and good. He has also placed this desire for missions and given me a heart for serving and for kids especially. I am so excited to step out of my comfort zone and learn to completely trust God with everything, laying down my desires and comforts in order to further His kingdom. 

I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for this next year and am so excited to include you all in it!
