Last Tuesday was my 20th birthday. It is hard to believe I have been alive for 2 decades. It is amazing to see how God changes and molds us into the person he has designed us to be. I pray that I will always leave room for growth and change, that my life will be a reflection of God’s love, and that for the years to come I will experience and live every second like it’s my last. Life is too short to waste or take for granted. I am so blessed!

“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 hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29: 11



In about a week this will become my new home. I am so excited but at the same time nervous. I haven’t had a great college experience yet but I am hoping that in a week that will change. I am excited to see what God is going to do during my three years at Anderson. I have been praying for His guidence, His will, and His protection. Anderson, here I come!

what blog? woops!

So I sort of forgot I had a blog. I really don’t know how that happened. But there has been so much going on latley so I guess it just slipped my mind. School is crazy, work is crazy, and well life is GREAT! I am really looking forward to moving to Anderson in just 3 short weeks! I am kind of nervous but at the same time very excited!

Just thought I would update!



I am having a BLAST with these two cuties this summer! These are the 4 year old twins I am babysitting and we have been having so much fun! Kate (right) and Grace (left) have become mini dare devils at their neighborhood pool and have even started jumping in and going under! YAY! Me and their new best friend Sara started a new trend of throwing them. Sometimes they end up doing belly flops but it doesn’t stop them. No pain-no game. The girls finally learned how to say my name though! The first week we went to the pool and there were a ton of families there. Their favorite saying along with their version of my name was shouted across the pool for all to hear, “MAGENTA WATCH THIS!” haha I thought, “Well that is a new one.” I can’t wait to spend the rest of the summer hanging out with the two coolest 4 year olds ever! Lets just hope their occasional sassy attitudes don’t get in the way! ; )

Is there a vision?

I’ve been thinking after going to Newspring on Sunday, do I have a vision? What does it really mean for the gospel to be lived out? These questions were presented throughout the message and it really made me think. I would say that I have a vision for my life. You know, the normal.. grow up, graduate from college, get married, have kids, be a teacher, etc. But what about spiritually? These things are desires that I have for my life. But do I really have any desires for my spiritual life? I’ve been thinking about it over the past several days. I want to be different. I don’t want to be the type of person who just sits back and expects the Kingdom of God to grow on its own and 50 years later just say that I was a baptist, church going, Christian. There is more to being a “Christ Follower” than just going to church. I want break down barriers. I want to praise an Almighty God with everything I do. I want to know more about Him everyday.

I think Newspring displayed their vision on Sunday by giving to 2 families that were really in need of something. What do I want to do for people? How do I want to display the gospel in my life so that others will see me but actually see Christ? Just something to think about.
