My heart belongs to hurting teens, particularly young women. With all of my heart, I desire to help them through the restoration process.
I have a thing for urbanity. I don't know exactly why or how this came about, but when I think about the problems and issues in the city, something inside me jumps. I want to somehow be involved with organizations in a city that serve the underprivileged. To live in community with those who come from different stories than I. To be in such a place of diversity forces the mind to expand, forces you out of your comfort zone so to better relate to, and thus minister to, the people with whom you interact. I love this.
And then there's this idea somewhere that someday I will have a family. Someday soon, I hope.
Until then, I live moment by moment. Using each one the best that I can, wherever I am, so to glorify God and to love Him with all my heart, with all my mind, and with all my strength.

For now, I live in Saint Louis, Missouri and work as a weekend residential assistant at Mercy Ministries (disclaimer: my posts are not meant reflect the beliefs and opinions of the ministry).
These women are broken (as are we
all, right?).
They desperately need
Jesus, and so do I.
I am here to be used by God.
