GET TO KNOW ME:

One of my greatest experiences with God: When my family was struggling financially, God miraculously provided a way for me to attend and graduate from the international school I was attending. In that process, He spoke to ME (not to my parents or teachers) through His Word in a very personal way. I felt incredibly cared for and seen as His daughter.

How does God speak to you? He speaks to me through the Holy Spirit's guidance and/or the Scripture once my heart/mind is ready to listen, submit, and let go of whatever is consuming my heart/mind at the time. 

Most people don’t know this about me: I can click my tongue really loud.

What inspires you? What are you passionate about? God’s unique design in each person inspires me to get to know each person deeply and to help them thrive in their unique design. I’m passionate about unique individuals in the Unreached People Groups (UPG) around the world to get the chance to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

• Quote: "To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us." Tim Keller
