I am 20 years old. I did not grow up in a Christian home, but did grow up around church. Mymom
did teach my siblings and I to pray, but it was not until middle school that we got involved in
church. I came to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was 14, and was baptized with
my brother, mom, and step dad. I was devoted to Jesus, but as highschool went on, I
grew into the habit of leaning on my own understanding and putting Jesus second. Despite my selfishness,
Our Lord in His abounding grace was a comfort to me in the latter half of highschool as life began to
hit hard. This led me back on the right path, and the summer after I graduated Highschool God called
me to ministry, and I surrendered my life to ministry a few months after recieving the call at age 18.
I enrolled in Seminary at Texas Baptist Institute in August 2022, and have remained a student there since.
