However, God has been faithful. I am learning this year that my hope is in Him and that I am weak daily and my only option is to cling to Him. I have experienced the joy of watching Him continue to prepare me for ministry and blessing me right where I am at. Currently, he is bearing fruit in my relationships with students in my church. He has blessed me to be able to speak into their lives and they want to come. I find myself often in awe and worship when I think of the power of the gospel in my life and I desire for more opportunities to share how Christ has changed, is changing, and will change me.

When I was studying at Moody I lived in the Culberson dormitory for three years. During my first year in Culberson I was impacted by the upperclassmen on the floor who were very willing to sit and guide me through my life as a student and encourage my walk in Christ. These older guys were not my RA and yet they showed me and the rest of the floor that they loved the floor. They became role models who I continue to look up to for wisdom on living in holy

    Give examples of how the practice of ministry has affected your experience and understanding of A) God At the core of my understanding of God is a God of love in covenantal relationship with God’s children. Romans 8:38-39 says it well; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The practice of ministry has only proven to strengthen that belief. I was called early Saturday morning to sit with a family who had just learned of the death of their daughter/granddaughter in a vehicle accident.…

    Another huge experience that has changed my outlook on life was going to the service project for the Isaac school district. The children attending the schools at the Isaac school district are in intense poverty. I have gone during the school days to help out in the classroom, to bring Thanksgiving dinner boxes, and to deliver a Christmas gifts to the kids. The kids on these campuses have the most amazing attitudes in the worst conditions. Some of the children go home on Friday and don't have a meal until they come back to school on Monday.…

    Over the last few years I have heard a common concern arise regarding the stress levels of people in our country, and at the onset I initially placed a lot of responsibility on things such as technology, employers, and the demands of society. Yet, as I pondered this issue, and as more news reports and articles populated about people being their own contributor to stress, I started scrutinizing not only my own life, but also observing others. Our culture has seemed to breed the idea that humans are to glorify status, stuff, and schedules, rather than glorify the Creator of all. In the book titled, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality (2006), Peter Scazzero discussed the previously held notion of crafting a rule of life, with the hopes that one…

    I continued to look for a place to serve more in and help more people but I could not find anything that really interested me.

    All throughout my childhood, missionaries were invited to stay at my home, where my father would offer them food and a place to rest (Troutt). I learned many things from these missionaries as well, as I was homeschooled and was rarely away from my house and the wealth of positive influences that dwelled in it. Just as I enjoyed observing the behaviors of my father and the missionaries, I also had a strong passion for…

    With the help of the teachers, and the other volunteers that were working with me, I learned how to be open to others and their opinions in small groups, and how to interact with kid that had serious problems in their life or had not accepted Christ as their personal Savior.

From getting personal with the kids in the small groups to just playing games or walking with them, I have truly connected and made a relationship with them.…

The feelings of excitement, joy, and love were very tangible in my heart. My mom and dad were both sitting beside me on my bed while I was told the importance of this decision and how my life would never be the same. Even at 5 years old, I was aware of my decision to follow Jesus and accept him into my heart.…
