    • Favorite Verse: " For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and it will bring you back from captivity."  -Jeremiah 29:11
    • Plans: I'm working in Greenwood for the summer at North Side and Lakeland Orthopedic Clinic doing office work. "Time and time again the Scripture refers to the church as the Body of Christ. I firmly believe that the greatest impact on our world will me made through the church. My personal passion is in impacting women's lives for the Kingdom of God. I have a burden and a passion for ministering to women and showing them how Christ can free and heal them from the wounds our society inflects upon them. I desire to equip women with the understanding of finding the definition of who they are in the Lord rather than in whom our culture says they are. I also have a heart for youth, particularly high school girls. High School is the time when they begin to shape the person they are to become, a time for guidance to impact them for the King. My desire, and I believe, my calling is into local church leadership." Hopefully I'll get to do a bit of that at North Side, but if not I'm just happy to be a part of the work that the Lord is doing through North Side. I'm moving to Littleton, CO at the end of August to pursue a Masters of Divinity, emphasis in pastoral couseling, at Denver Seminary.

    • Favorite Verse: " The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."  -Exodus 14:14  My brain struggles to stop or even my body does after being busy so I remember this verse. It's so comforting to know God will fight for me.
    • Plans: " I hope to get my Masters in either Education of Special Education once i graduate and then teach on the mission overseas as a missionary for most of my life or some...which ever God has planned for me. I love, love, love this place! If I had not been connected with North Side I don't know where I would be, and I don't want to know. I guess I love working here because its a great environment and maybe in some small way I can help someone else have their life radically changed by being here, even if I do it behind the scenes. God is everywhere but I feel especially close to Him here. "
